Post-Close Synergy Value Assurance
Continuously audits realised versus promised synergy after close, flagging leakage while it can still be recovered.

The Challenge
Synergy is assumed captured but never verified, and leakage is discovered at year-end when it is history. Only ~50% of synergy targets are met within a year - untracked ones fare worst.
How It Works
- Ingests finance actuals, synergy baselines and initiative-level commitments.
- ML attributes variance to initiatives; agents trace claimed savings to the ledger.
- Publishes an independent realised-vs-promised view with leakage alerts.
What It Removes
- Synergy assumed captured, never verified
- Leakage discovered when it is history
- Board reporting on unaudited claims
Input Data RequirementsFinance actuals, synergy model baselines, initiative register, command-centre data (A1)
Output FormatIndependent synergy assurance dashboard, leakage alerts, board evidence pack
“The board sees whether the promised millions actually land - continuously, not at year-end.”
