Independence

Independence is foundational to our work
Our role is advisory only.
We are engaged to provide judgment, not to facilitate outcomes.
Independence is not a marketing claim.
It is enforced structurally across how we work.
Independence Principles
- Buyer-side due diligence is buyer-only
- We do not represent both sides of the same transaction
- We do not act as brokers or intermediaries
- We do not take success fees or closing-based compensation
- We do not receive referral fees from marketplaces or sellers
Our compensation is not tied to whether a transaction proceeds.
Conflicts and Disclosure
Where a potential conflict exists:
- it is disclosed upfront
- engagement scope is adjusted or declined
- cooling-off periods are enforced where appropriate
If independence cannot be preserved, we do not proceed.
Why This Matters
Transaction outcomes are binary.
Risk is not.
Our value lies in identifying downside scenarios that are easy to ignore before closing and difficult to correct afterward.
That requires distance from incentives.
