One Week to Find Out What IsFinancially Trapped InsideYour Business.
Before you approve another improvement program, know what it is worth. Enterprise Value Discovery is a fixed-scope, fixed-fee, one-week diagnostic. We use the operational and financial data you already have, combine it with focused executive interviews, identify cross-functional interactions, quantify their financial impact, and validate the findings with your Finance team.
Before you approve another improvement program, know what it is worth.
Most improvement programs start with a proposal and a promise: fund this initiative, and the returns will follow. Enterprise Value Discovery starts from the opposite end. Before anyone talks about projects, systems or programs, we answer the only question that should gate the decision: how much value is financially trapped inside the business, and where exactly is it?
Discovery is a fixed-scope, fixed-fee, one-week diagnostic. We use the operational and financial data you already have, combine it with focused executive interviews, identify the cross-functional interactions that trap cash, margin and throughput, quantify their financial impact in dollars, and validate the findings with your own Finance team. At the end of the week you hold a number your CFO has already agreed with, and a ranked plan for capturing it. What you do with it is entirely your decision.
Every engagement Seniors has ever delivered began with this one week. It is deliberately small: a fixed fee, seven days, no disruption, no commitment beyond it. The Discovery exists so you can make a large decision with small risk.
In seven days causing zero disruption you will have a number.
The week is structured so that your organization barely feels it. There is no army of consultants walking the floor, no workshop marathon, and no new software. Your team keeps running the business while we do the work, and by day seven your leadership team is looking at a validated result.
Data and interviews
ERP extracts, financial data, production, inventory and other standard information, plus focused conversations with key functional leaders. No new systems, no long data-gathering project.
Enterprise analysis
We trace cross-functional interactions and quantify the financial impact of each one: Trapped Cash, margin leakage, throughput constraints.
Finance validation and executive readout
Your Finance team validates the numbers before you see the final result. Leadership receives the findings and recommended priorities.
The Four Deliverables.
Everything you receive is built for decisions, not for a bookshelf. Each deliverable is short, quantified and specific to your operation, and every dollar figure in it has already been through your Finance team.
Enterprise Value Map

Four Things We Need from You.
- Standard operational and financial data
- Approximately one hour with key functional leaders
- A Finance partner for validation
- Executive sponsorship
Your team keeps running the business; we do the work.
The investment.
The Discovery is a fixed fee, agreed before we begin, scaled to the size and complexity of your operation. You know exactly what it costs before you commit. In our experience, the validated opportunities identified are a large multiple of the fee.
If we don't believe your situation will produce that, we'll tell you before you spend anything.
Built for $50MM to $1.5B manufacturers.
Discovery is designed for manufacturing companies between $50MM and $1.5B in revenue: large enough that cross-functional interactions hold real money, and lean enough that leadership can act on the findings without a year of committee reviews. You don't need a crisis to justify the week. You need one or two of these sentences to sound like your Monday meetings:
We have too much inventory.
We need more cash.
We know we have improvement opportunities but lack capital.
Our departments are performing, but the business isn't.
We keep fixing the same problems.
Our working capital keeps coming back.
We have capacity, but can't seem to convert it into throughput.
We have improvement projects sitting on the shelf.
If any of these sound familiar, the conversation is worth twenty minutes.
No buying anxiety. By design.
Executives hesitate to invite consultants in because the small first step so often becomes a large, open-ended second one. Discovery is engineered against that. The scope is fixed, the fee is fixed, the calendar is seven days, and the deliverables are yours regardless of what you decide next.
It is: a one-week financial discovery of where enterprise value is trapped, validated by your own Finance team.
Seven things Discovery is not:
An open-ended consulting engagement
A six-month diagnostic
A request for new systems
A generic benchmarking exercise
A Lean assessment
A technology implementation
A consultant-generated business case
What happens after Discovery?
You decide. Some clients hand the roadmap to their own team. Others engage Enterprise Value Realization, where our senior operators work with your people to release the validated cash, fastest opportunities first, so the program funds itself.
How much Trapped Cash is sitting inside your business?
A fixed fee, seven days, and a number your own Finance team stands behind. The lowest-risk way to answer the highest-value question in your business.
