Independent case study · February–March 2026

A $48M industrial-services business.

A full operational and financial diagnostic of a $48M, 14-location industrial maintenance business, built as an independent practice case, not a live client engagement.

01 — The observation

The case starts from a single observation: the business looks healthy on a consolidated basis, at 11% EBITDA and +18% revenue growth, but the consolidated number hides wide performance dispersion across its fourteen locations.

labour cost, per year
02 — What it builds

From that gap, the case works outward into a full diagnostic and the operating changes it implies:

01Sixteen ranked root-cause hypotheses, ordered by estimated EBITDA impact.
02A full EBITDA bridge with sensitivity testing.
03A governance and operating-cadence redesign.
04Two fully specified software builds — a field technician app and a management platform — derived directly from the findings.
03 — The discipline

Every number traces back to either a stated case fact or a labelled, sensitivity-tested assumption.

It is the same discipline a real operating-partner engagement would require, applied here to a constructed scenario for practice and demonstration. The point of the exercise is not the answer; it is that the answer can be audited.

Note

A constructed practice case, not a live client. Referred to throughout as “a $48M industrial-services business.” The full deliverable suite includes a 180-page case study across every functional workstream, available on request.
