Operational Due Diligence

We don't sell PowerPoint slides.
We identify and validate operational risk and opportunities boots-on-the-ground.

Streamliners delivers hands-on operational due diligence designed for Private Equity to support investment decisions with confidence.

  • Clear IC-ready insights
  • Quantified EBITDA and cash opportunities
  • Full visibility of operational risk
  • Immediate alignment to post-close value creation

WHAT WE DELIVER IN DUE DILIGENCE

We typically identify

  • True Capacity and Scalability
  • Equipment CapEx Needs over next 5 years
  • Current Labor Utilization and Cost Reduction Opportunities
  • Equipment Condition and Maintenance Programs
  • Material Cost Reduction Opportunities
  • Facility Consolidation Opportunities
  • People and Talent Risk
  • Inventory Validation and Rightsizing Opportunities
  • CIM Fact Checking vs Operational Reality
  • Operational Value Creation Roadmap

Important: We tailor every operational due dilligance to each PE firm’s specific thesis and focus points.

CAPACITY & SCALABILITY

SEE WHAT THE acquisition COULD BE CAPABLE OF

We determine what the business can actually deliver, not what is assumed.

  • Validate true throughput vs theoretical capacity
  • Identify bottlenecks across production and supply chain
  • Assess labor, equipment, and system constraints
  • Evaluate scalability under growth scenarios

Output: A defensible view of growth potential and required investment to achieve it.

OPERATIONAL UPSIDE (EBITDA OPPORTUNITIES)

TRUE VISIBILITY INTO OPPORTUNITIES TO DRIVE EBITDA

We quantify where true value exists – and how to operationally lift it.

  • Throughput and productivity improvements
  • Labor efficiency and cost reduction opportunities
  • Yield improvement, scrap, and rework reduction
  • Working capital and inventory rightsizing
  • Procurement and material cost opportunities

Output: Quantified EBITDA, cash impact, and timing, aligned with investment case.

RISK VISIBILITY AND DEAL LEVERAGE

REDUCING RISK. INCREASING NEGOTIATION POWER.

We surface the risks that matter post-close, not generic diligence checklists.

  • Capacity constraints limiting growth execution
  • Single points of failure in operations or supply chain
  • Maintenance backlog and asset reliability risks
  • Over-reliance on key individuals or undocumented processes
  • Supplier concentration and procurement exposure

Output: Clear visibility of downside risk and required mitigation

FROM DILIGENCE TO VALUE CREATION

SEE BEYOND THE SELLER NARRATIVE

We test whether the business performs as presented.

  • Validate CIM assumptions vs operational reality
  • Identify true capacity  
  • Cross-check production rates, cost structures, and labor models
  • Identify overstated performance or hidden inefficiencies
  • Assess reliability of reported KPIs and metrics

Output: Confidence in what is real, what is overstated, and where value truly sits.

Thesis led Deep Dives

SEE A PERSPECTIVE TAILORED TO YOU

No two deals are the same. Our work aligns directly to your investment thesis.

  • Focus areas shaped by deal strategy (e.g., growth, carve-out, consolidation, turnaround)
  • Deep Dives into critical risk areas and value drivers (e.g., capacity expansion, integration readiness, cost base transformation)
  • Alignment with sponsor priorities and timeline

Output: Operational Due Diligence that directly supports your investment thesis with a tailored post-acquisition value creation plan.
