JW Strategy Partners surfaces valuation-critical risk before the LOI, when it creates pricing leverage instead of post-close liability. Built by operators. Pressure-tested across 87 sponsor conversations.
You've probably killed a deal in diligence that you could've killed in a phone call — if you'd asked the right questions before you signed the LOI.
BLACK moves that question upstream. We demand evidence from the principal, score what comes back against governance frameworks, and deliver a decision memo in 72 hours. Your existing DD team gets a focused scope instead of an open-ended search.
BLACK is our flagship diagnostic — a fixed-protocol interview and evidence collection system that delivers pricing-grade risk signals in 72 hours with zero system access.
10 sector-calibrated binary questions. A 24-hour evidence window. Binary scoring against governance frameworks. A decision memo that reads in under 10 minutes and holds up under audit indefinitely.
Founder & Managing Partner
Built BLACK from two decades inside the systems that break deals — founding architect of America's fastest-growing company (Inc. #1, 75,660% growth), strategic director of emerging tech R&D at Foxconn, data and visualization systems for McKinsey, and retained PE diligence consultant across six expert networks. The protocol was then pressure-tested across 87 sponsor conversations before a single engagement was sold.
COO & Co-creator of BLACK
Operational strategist and systems thinker with 15+ years optimizing processes and driving organizational excellence. Guides PE-backed firms through critical inflection points with expertise in pre-LOI risk identification, governance alignment, and execution readiness. Spearheaded enterprise transformation at Pitney Bowes, reducing costs by 43%. Developed proprietary frameworks for strategic clarity across complex technology migrations.
Every finding traces to a timestamped artifact. If it can't be evidenced, it doesn't exist.
The protocol runs the same way every time. No scope creep. No billable ambiguity.
Not a slide deck. An evidence-grade posture memo. The buyer decides what it means.
Insured by Hiscox, a Lloyd's of London insurer. Aligned with ILPA, ISO 27001, and COSO frameworks.
Capacity is limited to 3-5 engagements per quarter.
30 minutes. We'll show you how BLACK maps to your current pipeline.
