Deeper self-assessment with detailed weighted profile, interpretation, commercial impact, priorities and related tools and services.

Evidence-based advisory diagnosis with interviews, data review, validated findings and a 30/60/90 and 3-12 month roadmap.

What is measured

Understand the health of your people practices, processes and systems, and where to focus next.

People data and records

30%

Accuracy, completeness and speed of retrieval.

Diligence tests confidence as much as content. Slow or contradictory data undermines both.

Contracts and documentation

30%

Contracts, policies, IP, right to work and contractor status.

Documentation gaps are the most common People findings and the easiest to fix in advance.

Employee relations and risk

20%

Live cases, historic exposure and how issues are handled.

Unresolved or poorly documented cases create direct liability and reputational questions.

Reward and obligations

20%

Pay structure, incentives, equity and commitments made.

Informal promises and inconsistent reward create unquantified liabilities in a transaction.
