What is measured
Understand the health of your people practices, processes and systems, and where to focus next.
Leadership depth and dependency
35%Whether the plan depends on a small number of individuals.
Investors discount plans that rest on founder or key-person dependency, because the risk sits outside their control.
Critical talent and retention
25%Retention risk in the roles that deliver the plan.
Value creation plans assume the people delivering them stay. That assumption is rarely tested until diligence.
Governance, data and documentation
25%Whether People data and documentation survive scrutiny.
Weak documentation rarely kills a deal, but it lowers confidence, slows process and creates price adjustment leverage.
Value creation readiness
15%Whether the organisation can deliver the plan post-investment.
Capital accelerates whatever is already true. Weak organisational readiness simply produces faster problems.
