Anonymised engagements

What the work looks like

Five anonymised engagements: the problem the client arrived with, what we did, and what changed. Client names, figures that could identify a party and confidential terms are withheld.

Industrial manufacturing · Western Canada

Illustrative composite — not a named client engagement

Problem

An owner-managed plant needed CAD 12–18M for a new line, but three lenders had asked for evidence the company could not assemble.

What we did

Capital structure review, stress-tested cash model, lender-ready evidence pack.

What changed

A single financing route was chosen and taken to committee with a documented downside case.

Deliverables

  • Capital route map
  • Stress-tested model
  • Evidence pack

Infrastructure programme · public sector supplier

Illustrative composite — not a named client engagement

Problem

A programme was eight months behind with no agreed view of why, and reporting differed between contractors.

What we did

Independent programme review, one risk register, recovery schedule with decision gates.

What changed

The client and contractors worked from one schedule and one risk list; two gates were re-baselined.

Deliverables

  • Programme review
  • Risk register
  • Recovery schedule

Technology services · entering Canada

Illustrative composite — not a named client engagement

Problem

A founder wanted to enter the Canadian market and did not know which entity, tax and hiring route to take.

What we did

Market entry option set, cost-to-operate model, 12-month sequencing plan.

What changed

One entry route was selected with a written list of what would trigger a change of plan.

Deliverables

  • Option set
  • Cost model
  • Sequencing plan

Agri-processing · grant and loan blend

Illustrative composite — not a named client engagement

Problem

A company had been rejected twice by a funding programme and did not know whether it was eligible at all.

What we did

Eligibility screen, programme shortlist, application evidence and budget narrative.

What changed

Two programmes were dropped as unsuitable; one application was submitted complete on the first pass.

Deliverables

  • Eligibility screen
  • Programme shortlist
  • Application pack

Energy · board-level scenario work

Illustrative composite — not a named client engagement

Problem

A board could not agree whether to commit capital now or wait for regulatory clarity.

What we did

Four scenarios with early-warning signals, watch list and a decision calendar.

What changed

The board deferred one decision to a named trigger instead of a date, and released a smaller first tranche.

Deliverables

  • Scenario set
  • Watch list
  • Decision calendar

Named cases and client logos are published only with written client consent. Ranges are indicative and rounded.

Who we are not a fit for

Saying this early saves everyone a call.

  • You need a document to justify a decision that has already been made.
  • You are looking for a guaranteed grant or a guaranteed lender approval.
  • The work needs to be done without access to the underlying numbers.
  • You need a licensed audit, legal opinion or investment recommendation — we do not provide those.
