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.”
