CFOs and CIOs of newly carved-out portfolio companies who inherited a TSA they did not negotiate. Corporate divestiture office leaders who are repeatedly on the other side of these contracts.
The standard for each resource is the same. Specific. Practical. Free of consultant jargon. Written as one practitioner would write to another. No gated white papers behind ten field forms. No newsletter that takes three messages to get to a point. The audience is busy and the work is technical, so the content has to be both.
If a resource is missing that the firm should have published, the request line is open. The Day One Letter often surfaces topics raised by readers, and white papers are commissioned where the audience pattern is consistent.
Fixed-fee proposal in 48 hours. Senior team on day one. The resources are free. The engagement is scoped.
