The data room told you a story.
The financials looked clean. The KPIs hit the benchmarks. The operating team presented a tight narrative with charts that trended in the right direction. You closed.
Then your operating partner walks the floor and the numbers don't match. Production has one figure, stores has another, finance sees a third. The OEE the data room showed you was calculated differently than how the plant actually runs. Nobody mentioned that.
So you find the obvious discrepancy, fix it, report a quick win to the fund. But the baseline was never validated. The 100-day plan is built on assumptions from a data room designed to impress, not to expose. 70-90% of deals miss expectations. This is how it starts.
Data rooms are designed to impress, not to expose.
Plant Intel tells you what the data actually contains.
How a portfolio engagement works.
Four steps from raw export to validated portfolio. The first step is free.
Audit one facility
Upload a single CSV from one portfolio company. 28 structural checks run automatically. You see exactly what the data contains and where the gaps are. Free, no commitment.
Roll out across the portfolio
Each facility exports a CSV. We run the same audit with the same framework. Comparable results across every plant, every portfolio company.
Scope what matters
Human-guided mapping sessions determine which structural breaks are cosmetic and which are business-critical. Validated data maps and executive-ready Trust Reports.
Monitor over time
Upload new exports on your schedule. We detect what changed, what drifted, and what broke since the last upload. Operating partners receive updated reports.

What this is not.
Plant Intel fills a gap between your financial auditors and your analytics tools.
- Not a dashboard. Dashboards show what your data says. We show whether it is telling the truth.
- Not a consulting engagement. Traditional DD costs $100K-$500K and takes 6-12 weeks. We deliver forensic findings in hours.
- Not software to install. No integration, no IT involvement at the plant level. Just CSV exports.
- Not financial audit. Accountants audit the books. We audit the manufacturing data underneath the books.
