Engagement options designed for board-cycle urgency

PortCoAudit AI is structured to help PE operating teams move from fast qualification to quantified roadmap to implementation support without muddying the next step.

Paid qualifier

What happens in the $2,500 workshop

The workshop is designed to answer whether there is a real, near-term operating case for a full audit. It is not a teaser call and not a generic AI education session.

Pressure-test the operating problem and board timeline
Identify the highest-confidence AI opportunities worth quantifying
Clarify scope, data constraints, and likely owners
Deliver a written recommendation on whether to move into the full audit
Fast decision path

Choose a paid qualifier, move directly into the flagship audit, or reserve the retainer after roadmap approval.

Scope with context

Pricing reflects company complexity, cross-functional coverage, and how much board-ready output the team needs in one cycle.

Confidential by default

NDA-ready workflow, controlled data requests, and anonymized references unless permission is explicitly granted.

Qualification before commitment

PortCoAudit AI works best when the operating team already knows the business problem is real and needs a board-ready decision path fast.

Best fit

Mid-market PE operators with one urgent portfolio company, a value-creation deadline, or a board package that needs quantified AI recommendations.

What we need

Access to the right operating leaders, current process realities, and enough data context to rank opportunities credibly.

What you get

A short list of high-confidence initiatives, owner-ready sequencing, and a board-ready narrative instead of a generic innovation deck.

Buyer FAQ

Common questions from PE operating teams evaluating fit, confidentiality, evidence, and handoff.

Who is this built for, and who is it not for?

PortCoAudit AI is built for PE operating partners, value-creation leaders, and portfolio executives who have one urgent operating question and need a board-defensible answer quickly. It is not a fit for teams looking for broad AI education, enterprise-wide transformation theater, or a months-long strategy study without a near-term operating decision.

What happens in the paid workshop?

The workshop is a paid qualifier. We pressure-test the operating problem, review current constraints, identify the highest-confidence AI opportunities, and tell you whether a full audit is warranted. You leave with a written recap, a sharper scope, and a recommendation on the next step rather than a generic brainstorm.

What does confidentiality mean in practice?

Confidentiality means the workflow is NDA-ready, data requests stay narrow, and public-facing materials avoid naming firms, companies, or outcomes unless explicit permission exists. We structure the work so operators can share only what is necessary to rank opportunities and build the roadmap.

Is this strategy-only, or implementation-ready?

The output is designed to be implementation-ready. The audit does not stop at themes or AI use-case lists. It packages the work into ranked initiatives, assumptions, owners, and a 30/60/90 sequence that an internal team or selected vendor can use immediately.

What evidence does the buyer actually receive?

The buyer receives a decision package: the reasoning behind each ranked opportunity, the assumptions that drive the EBITDA case, the operational constraints that could slow execution, and the concrete next actions required in the first 30, 60, and 90 days.

Can our internal team or implementation vendors use the roadmap directly?

Yes. The roadmap is meant to be handed off. Internal operators, portfolio leadership, or implementation vendors should be able to use the memo, initiative matrix, and execution plan as the working brief rather than starting from scratch.

What drives the full audit price range?

Scope flexes based on company complexity, number of functions in scope, data readiness, and whether the work centers on one portco or a broader operating initiative.

Do you start with the workshop every time?

No. Teams with a clear mandate and immediate board-cycle pressure often move directly into the full audit. The workshop is the fastest qualifier when scope is still fuzzy.

Can the implementation retainer be purchased standalone?

Usually no. We use the retainer after a workshop or audit establishes the roadmap, owners, and metrics to manage against.
