What Viability Assessment Report examines

A governance-grade assessment designed for material decisions. The goal is to establish cash reality, constraints, and hard stop conditions so decisions can be made defensibly.

Core examinations
  • Cash reality and funding reliance (including timing pressure)
  • Constraint and policy drivers (including measurement distortions)
  • Balance sheet and solvency flags relevant to restructuring decisions
  • Hard stop conditions and what must be true for continuation to remain reasonable
Deliverables
  • Decision-grade report suitable for directors, lenders, or investors
  • Explicit conditions, breakpoints, and evidence gaps (what would change the call)
  • Clear outcomes: proceed, pause, stop, or escalate (no obligation to continue)
Independence
Fixed-fee, non-contingent, and independent of implementation. Execution is only considered where viability is confirmed, under a separate engagement with governance and stop conditions in place.
Timeline
Typically 7-10 working days
Data-dependent.
Fees
Fixed-fee
Non-contingent.
Use cases
Material decisions
Refinancing, restructure, acquisition, turnaround commitment, exit planning.
Note:
Where earlier diagnostic work exists (Snapshot Economics, or Cash Reality Diagnostic), the prior work is fully recognised in scope and fees where escalation is justified.
FAQ

Common questions

No. It’s a diagnostic assessment designed to establish cash reality and viability boundaries for decision-making. Where formal opinions are required, we recommend appropriate specialists.

Only where viability is confirmed, and only under a separate engagement. Diagnostics do not automatically convert to implementation.

A short fit check, plus cash timing inputs (13-week view) and supporting financials where available.
