90 days. Six workstreams. One operational stand-up. The Day One Readiness Program is the buyer-side counterweight to the seller's separation office. IT, finance, HR, procurement, treasury, cybersecurity. All on the same calendar.
Day One is not a milestone. It is the operational stand-up of a new company. Email works or it does not. Payroll runs or it does not. Customers get invoiced or they do not. The seller's separation team has a different definition of ready. This program writes the buyer's.
Long enough to do real work. Tight enough that the work has to start now. The Day One window is absolute.
Shared IT, shared HR systems, shared procurement. Day One requires real separation across all of them.
A newly carved-out entity does not yet have an integration office. The buyer's portfolio team is doing six other things.
Their interests are not the buyer's interests. The buyer needs a parallel program working the same calendar from the other side.
The TSA is signed. The catalog is what it is. The Day One program turns the TSA you have into the operational outcome you need.
Every workstream gets a readiness owner, a milestone plan, and a measured cutover. The program operates on a weekly cadence with the seller's separation lead. Decisions land. Risks escalate. The calendar holds.
