Put the first 100 days to technical use.
A prioritized plan for the first hundred days after closing that fixes technical risks and sets the first AI levers in motion.
The situation
After closing, attention from leadership and the investment committee is high and time is short. If no clear technical plan exists during this phase, energy dissipates into scattered initiatives while the risks from due diligence sit unaddressed.
We translate the findings from tech due diligence or a dedicated short review into a plan with a clear sequence: what needs to be stabilized in the first weeks, what changes to architecture or process follow after that, and which first AI use cases can go into production within the window.
The plan gives every item an owner and an outcome, not an open-ended list of topics.
Deliverables
Prioritized action list
Actions sorted by risk and impact, with a clear sequence across the first 100 days.
Responsibilities
Every action with a named owner inside the portfolio company.
Quick wins for AI value creation
First AI use cases that can realistically go into production within the window.
Risk reduction
Concrete steps for the most critical points from due diligence.
Reporting cadence
A fixed cadence for status reports to the operating partner and leadership.
Our approach
- 01
Evaluate DD results or a short review
We use the tech DD if one exists, or run a compact short review.
- 02
Set priorities with leadership
We align the sequence of actions with leadership and the operating partner.
- 03
Build the plan with responsibilities
We create the 100-day plan with concrete tasks, dates, and owners.
- 04
Support implementation
We support the first weeks of implementation and adjust the plan as new findings emerge.
- 05
Report status
We report on a fixed cadence to the operating partner and the investment committee.
Typical clients
| Situation | Our approach |
|---|---|
| A fresh closing without a technical implementation plan | Structure and priority for the first hundred days |
| Tech DD exists, but nobody is implementing it | Translating DD findings into concrete, owned actions |
| The value creation plan contains AI goals without an implementation path | Concrete, realistically scheduled first AI use cases |
Our approach: Structure and priority for the first hundred days
Our approach: Translating DD findings into concrete, owned actions
Our approach: Concrete, realistically scheduled first AI use cases
Outside our scope
We don't promise a complete transformation in a hundred days. The goal of the window is to stabilize risk and achieve the first visible progress, not to complete the entire technical roadmap.
