What we do

We cut through assumptions and define the real issues

LABB47 begins by clarifying the problem to be solved and the decisions behind it. This includes mapping performance drivers, reviewing existing processes, and assessing the data foundations. Assumptions are separated from facts, the value at stake is quantified, and the points where advanced analytics can meaningfully shift outcomes are identified. The result is a clear problem statement and a targeted analytical roadmap.

Commercial due diligence

A rigorous assessment of market dynamics, competitive landscape, customer behavior, and structural trends.

Analyses focus on the size and quality of the addressable market, the sustainability of growth, and the target’s defensibility in its core segments. Work typically includes demand modelling, price elasticity testing, channel performance benchmarking, and customer interviews to validate share of wallet and loyalty drivers.

outcome

A quantified, evidence-based view of the target’s market opportunity, realistic revenue trajectory, and competitive position within the industry.

Operational due diligence (ODD)

An in-depth evaluation of how efficiently and reliably the business operates.

This includes review of cost structures, production throughput, procurement discipline, logistics efficiency, and organizational effectiveness. Particular attention is given to scalability, working capital intensity, and the operational bottlenecks that could inhibit growth or margin improvement.

outcome

A clear operational performance baseline, identifying both near-term improvement levers and longer-term capability requirements.

Technology due diligence

A structured analysis of IT systems, digital infrastructure, cybersecurity, and integration readiness.

Engagements examine software architecture, ERP stability, vendor dependencies, and total cost of ownership. The review often extends to digital capabilities such as data governance, automation, and analytics maturity.

outcome

A concise roadmap of technology strengths, risks, and investment priorities to support scalability and resilience under new ownership.

HR and leadership due diligence

A focused analysis of the human and organizational elements that drive long-term performance.

The assessment covers leadership quality, team structure, culture, talent depth, and capability alignment with the business strategy. Reviews typically include leadership interviews, organizational mapping, compensation analysis, and cultural diagnostics to identify behavioral strengths or misalignments that could affect post-close execution.

outcome

An objective profile of the organization’s ability to deliver the investment plan — highlighting key leaders to retain, capability gaps to close, and cultural risks that could undermine integration or growth.

We engineer the logic that powers performance

With the problem defined, LABB47 designs and develops the analytical solution that will power better decisions. Datasets are structured and cleaned, the right variables are engineered, and the required algorithms or optimisation logic are built. Strategy thinking, operator insight, and data science come together to create decision engines that are precise, practical, and tailored to the client’s context. Each model is tested and calibrated for real-world reliability.

Valuation & financial modeling

Construction of detailed, driver-based financial models incorporating operational, commercial, and strategic variables.

Models are built with traceability between diligence data and valuation assumptions, ensuring all sensitivities are visible and quantifiable. Analyses typically include scenario testing, return simulations, and leverage impact assessments.

outcome

A valuation framework that links operational drivers to equity returns, providing a shared financial language for deal teams, management, and investors.

Deal structuring

Design of capital and ownership structures that balance risk, control, and incentive alignment.

Advisory scope includes review of financing instruments, governance mechanisms, shareholder rights, and management equity plans. Each structure is assessed for flexibility, tax efficiency, and resilience to stress scenarios.

outcome

A transaction structure that supports the intended investment horizon, facilitates governance clarity, and ensures strategic flexibility throughout the hold period.

Negotiation support

Preparation of quantified negotiation positions grounded in valuation logic and market precedent.

labb47 helps investors translate analytical findings into credible commercial arguments — from purchase price adjustments and earn-out mechanics to warranties, indemnities, and working-capital targets.

outcome

A negotiation position anchored in evidence, reducing execution risk and preserving relational integrity between buyer and seller.

Synergy & scenario analysis

Integration of identified synergies, cost levers, and operational constraints into the deal model.

This analysis provides a realistic forecast of achievable improvement potential and allows investors to calibrate pricing and financing accordingly.

outcome

Alignment between the investment case, the deal model, and the value-creation roadmap, ensuring the transaction is priced and structured to deliver targeted returns.

We validate the impact under real-world conditions.

LABB47 validates the solution in a controlled environment using real data, real constraints, and real decision processes. This stage demonstrates measurable uplift—whether improving pricing precision, reducing operational waste, optimising a network, or sharpening forecasts. The goal is straightforward: prove the impact, confirm usability, and refine the engine based on insights from daily operations.

Integration management office

Establishment of a governance structure that coordinates all integration activities across functions, regions, and management layers.

The IMO defines decision rights, reporting cadence, and risk escalation paths. It also monitors synergy realization, ensuring financial and operational metrics remain visible to investors and leadership teams.

outcome

An organized, transparent integration process that maintains business continuity while accelerating synergy delivery.

Value creation planning

Definition of the initiatives, governance, and tracking required to convert deal assumptions into realized value.

Plans are structured by initiative, owner, timeline, and KPI, covering both quick wins and multi-year transformations. labb47 integrates commercial, operational, and financial levers into a single, prioritized value roadmap.

outcome

A quantified, investor-approved plan linking strategy, execution, and measurable performance uplift.

Revenue & pricing excellence

Optimization of price architecture, margin control, and commercial decision processes.

The firm identifies pricing opportunities by customer, product, and channel, ensuring discipline around discounting, cost-to-serve, and contract renewals.

outcome

Enhanced revenue quality, improved margins, and institutionalized pricing governance that supports long-term growth.

Cost & efficiency optimization

Comprehensive review of SG&A, procurement, and operations to identify structural inefficiencies and redundant spend.

Programs typically include zero-based budgeting, organizational redesign, and process automation initiatives.

outcome

A leaner cost base that supports margin expansion without impairing capability or service delivery.

Supply chain & network optimization

Analysis of end-to-end logistics, distribution networks, and supplier base to improve cost efficiency and reliability.

Typical work includes footprint modelling, make-or-buy assessments, and working-capital implications.

outcome

A resilient, cost-effective supply chain aligned with the commercial strategy and customer requirements.

Working capital & cash management

Enhancement of cash conversion cycles through improved forecasting, collections, payables management, and inventory control.

Focus is placed on reducing liquidity risk and freeing trapped cash to support growth initiatives.

outcome

Stronger cash generation, improved funding flexibility, and more predictable liquidity management.

Leadership & change enablement

Development of management capability, communication frameworks, and operating rhythms to sustain performance gains.

Initiatives include leadership workshops, KPI dashboards, and cultural alignment programs linking incentives to outcomes.

outcome

We scale the solution and embed it in your operations.

Once the value is proven, LABB47 scales the solution into a robust product that integrates seamlessly with the client’s systems and workflows. The analytics are industrialised, dashboards or interfaces are embedded, and internal and external datasets are connected for ongoing performance. LABB47 then equips client teams to run, maintain, and evolve the tools themselves. The end result is a solution that is fully owned internally and continues to generate impact long after the engagement ends.

Equity story development

Definition of a coherent, evidence-driven narrative that links strategy, execution, and results.

Work includes review of historic performance, validation of progress against the investment plan, and articulation of the next growth phase. The narrative is anchored in facts such as operational achievements, strategic milestones, and verified data, supported by benchmarking against peers and sector trends.

outcome
