Stabilize the Thesis in 90 Days

The 90-Day Playbook When a Portfolio Company's Thesis Is Under Pressure

The deal model said one thing. The operating reality says another. Margin erosion, cash pressure, and leadership misalignment don’t fix themselves — and the board needs visible progress, not another slide deck. This guide covers how experienced operators stabilize portfolio companies at critical inflection points.

In this e-book, you’ll get insights like:

  • Why top-line growth is the most dangerous metric in a PE-backed company
  • The three intervention areas that fractional operating partners prioritize first
  • How to run a rapid diagnostic that separates signal from noise in 3–6 weeks
  • Cash flow control tactics that produce board-ready results within 30 days
  • KPI resets that replace vanity metrics with metrics that drive decisions
  • What “embedded execution” looks like vs. advisory-only engagements
  • Pre-sale and recapitalization readiness: stabilizing the story before exit
