For acquirers

Every deal case, checked against what actually happened.

Logyc Sphere models what an acquisition will do to your operations, cash and capacity before you sign, then tracks the deal case and its synergies through integration. Hindsight reviews show which assumptions held, so each deal starts smarter than the last.

How you start
The problem

Deals rarely fail at signing. They fail in the assumptions nobody went back to check.

01

Deal cases are optimistic, and unchecked

Synergy and growth assumptions win approval. After closing, few companies go back to test them.

02

Integration strains what the model ignored

Plants, systems, people and suppliers absorb the deal. The business case rarely shows where they will strain.

03

Lessons leave with the deal team

The next acquisition is valued by people who never saw how the last one turned out.

Before and after signing

One model from the first look to the last synergy.

Before you sign

Model the target inside your value chain: where costs, capacity and people overlap, and the full range of outcomes, not one case.

Through integration

Each synergy is a commitment with an owner, amount, date and warning signal. Drift shows up while there is still time to act.

After the deal

Hindsight reviews compare the case with results, using ThinkBack to see exactly what was knowable at signing.

ThinkBack and the forecasting record

Know whose deal judgment holds up.

Each deal team's forecasts are dated and kept, then compared with results. Over several deals, you learn which assumptions tend to run optimistic, and whose do not.

  • Deal teams' forecasts scored against outcomes
  • A record of which assumptions usually prove optimistic
  • Each lesson ready for the next deal's approval
  • Used for learning and for weighing views, never for rating someone on one call

Who uses it

Built for teams that buy companies more than once.

  • Corporate development and M&A teams
  • Integration management offices
  • CFOs and boards approving the deal
  • Business leaders who inherit the acquired company
How you start

Start with Deal Hindsight on one closed deal.

Sixty to ninety days on a deal you have already closed. Run the next one through Sphere only if this one earns it.

  1. 1

    Pick a recently closed deal

    One where the case and synergy targets are still being delivered.

  2. 2

    Load its case and synergies

    Each synergy becomes a commitment with an owner, an amount, a date and a warning signal.

  3. 3

    Look back at past deals

    Hindsight reviews of two or three earlier deals show which assumptions held.

  4. 4

    Run the next deal through Sphere

    From the first look, with the lessons of the last ones in front of the approvers.

Get started

Bring one thesis, deal or decision you’re weighing now.

A value-creation plan, an acquisition, a capital program or a target given to investors. In a walkthrough we’ll show how Logyc Sphere would model its consequences, what it would challenge, and what it would watch after you commit.
