I searched this year and took two deals through diligence before walking away from both. I’ve since started Westmarch Partners, which helps owner-led companies use AI to get more done with the team they have. If AI is somewhere in your value creation plan, the hard part is knowing which work it should take on and what that’s worth next to everything else on your list. That’s what the assessment answers. Over two weeks I learn how the work actually gets done, find where AI can take some of it on, and estimate what each opportunity is worth. Then I build the one worth doing first. The assessment fee is fixed and counts toward the build if you go ahead. I’m based near Chicago and work on site (will travel). If you’ve closed in the last couple of years, or you’re in diligence and want a second opinion on the AI upside, send me a message.
