The board meeting is Friday. The decision needs to hold on Monday.
You run a multi-market group. The choice in front of you — an acquisition, a format flip, a portfolio rationalization, a flagship launch — is expensive, politicized, and not reversible. You need a memo the board will sign. Not a 200-slide deck, not a junior team’s workplan — a defensible decision, stress-tested against real scenarios, delivered in two to four weeks.
When one wrong call costs a quarter.
M&A readiness
Pre-deal scenario modeling: synergy reality, integration risk, revenue overlap. Before the LOI.
Multi-market launch testing
Format, brand, or product simulated against real audience response in each territory, before the rollout budget is committed.
Portfolio rationalization
Which assets to keep, flip, spin off, or sunset — modeled against a five-year horizon, not a gut call.
Regulatory & structural shifts
DSA, AI Act, licensing, carriage deals — translate the policy into a P&L impact and an option set.
Pre-commitment board memos
When the CEO needs a second opinion the board will read. One memo, one signature, one recommendation.
Executive team alignment
When programming, sales, and strategy are split three ways and Monday’s call is the tie-breaker.
