When a business is under pressure, the most dangerous question isn’t “How do we fix this?” It’s “Should we continue at all — and if so, under what conditions?”
This service gives owners and directors a decision-grade determination — before irreversible decisions are made.
No coaching. No fixing. No pressure to proceed.
Most businesses don’t fail suddenly. They drift into danger one decision at a time:
The Viability Determination is a short, structured diagnostic that establishes whether the business is still economically viable, what conditions must hold for continuation, and what decisions would increase risk rather than reduce it.
The output is not an open-ended discussion. It is a written determination suitable for owners, boards, lenders, and advisors.
If the safest decision is to pause or stop, we help you reach that outcome earlier and cleaner.
We focus on the minimum evidence required to make a defensible decision under pressure.
We are not trying to “fix” the business at this stage. We are establishing whether fixing makes sense at all.
Every Viability Determination provides a clear outcome and the conditions that must hold for continuation to remain defensible.
This work is most valuable when downside is real: refinancing, covenant stress, stakeholder pressure, or personal exposure. By separating determination from execution, we preserve independence and credibility — and reduce the risk of making the next move blind.
Where deeper cash evidence is required, we escalate to a Cash Reality Determination (13-week + 3-way) as a supporting service.
A short fit check to confirm whether a Viability Determination is the right next step. No advice. No pitch.
