Know Your Business Recovery Odds in 20 Minutes

Most advisors arrive when crisis is already visible.

The Recovery Odds Index™ detects the hidden signals earlier — then gives you a quantified recovery score and a clear path: rescue, restructure, or close.

The gap most turnaround advisors miss — and why it matters to investors

Early detection before the crash

While traditional turnaround help starts when losses are public, Recovery Odds Index™ identifies the quiet indicators of decline months earlier. It shows whether management is aligned, decisions are slowing, or trust is breaking — the signs that predict failure long before the numbers do. Read more here

Evidence, not opinions

The 45-question assessment converts complex dynamics into a single score and benchmark. You’ll see exactly how recovery-ready a company is — with data, not gut feeling. This score becomes a value measurement point for every discussion about rescue, restructuring, or closure.

Portfolio-level clarity

Whether you're managing one distressed company or evaluating a portfolio, Recovery Odds Index™ is designed to scan multiple holdings. It helps you identify which companies can realistically recover and which will drain capital.

FAQ

What is the Recovery Odds Index™?

It’s a standardized diagnostic system that measures how ready a company is to recover or transform — and what’s needed to move forward.

Instead of consultant opinions, you get quantified results based on 45 measurable factors, producing one Recovery Score, a benchmark, and clear recommendations.

Who is it for?

The Recovery Odds Index™ is designed for:

  • Investors evaluating distressed portfolio companies or acquisition targets

  • Boards needing objective data to make rescue/restructure/close decisions

  • Founders and CEOs who suspect problems but need quantified evidence

  • Family offices and PE firms managing multiple SME investments

Early adopters include operational leaders and business owners seeking early-warning signals before financial distress becomes visible.

How fast do I get results?

Instant: As soon as you complete the online assessment, you receive your Recovery Odds Index™ score and full report — including benchmarks and key focus areas.

Within a few days: If you choose a personal debrief and deep-dive session, it’s typically scheduled within just a few days of completing the assessment.

Within two weeks: A Portfolio Scan (covering up to 10 companies, with a full debrief) is usually delivered within two weeks.

Why does it matter to act early?

Because by the time crisis is visible, most options are gone.

Recovery Odds Index™ lets you quantify risk while value can still be protected — creating an evidence-based foundation for board and investor decisions.

How is this different from traditional advisors?

Traditional turnaround and crisis consultants step in when problems are already visible. Their guidance is often subjective, based on personal experience and case-by-case judgment.

Turnaround Readiness™ works one step earlier — it minimizes gut feeling by quantifying and benchmarking.

It detects hidden warning signals, measures preparedness, and guides early decisions: rescue, restructure, or close down.

You get data, not discussion, and results in 24–48 hours — not weeks.

What if I’m not satisfied?

Every assessment includes a 100 % action-value guarantee.

If the findings aren’t specific or usable, you receive a full refund.

Do you work internationally?

Yes — the Recovery Odds Index™ is designed for remote delivery. Assessments are online, and debriefs/workshops can be conducted virtually or in-person anywhere in Europe or North America. The diagnostic works across markets because the underlying patterns of business distress are universal.

Can I upgrade later?

Yes. If you start with a single diagnostic, the full payment is credited toward a higher level (workshop or portfolio scan).

Pattern recognition from 25 years in the turnaround trenches.

I've worked inside distressed companies as an entrepreneur, CEO, interim leader, and advisor. Some I turned around. Others failed despite our best efforts. A few could have been saved with earlier warning signals.

The painful pattern I saw repeatedly: by the time traditional consultants arrived, most options were already gone. The board was fighting, the CEO was defensive, the cash was nearly depleted, and the best people had left.

I built Recovery Odds Index™ to quantify the warning signs I learned to recognize — the subtle signals that appear 6-12 months before financial statements show distress:

  • Management teams making slower, lower-quality decisions

  • Trust breakdown between founders, investors, and boards

  • Strategic misalignment disguised as "healthy debate"

  • Operational metrics that look fine but mask underlying dysfunction

This isn't theory. It's pattern recognition from hard-won experience, now available as a diagnostic tool for investors who want clarity before crisis becomes visible.

My bias: I believe most turnarounds fail because intervention starts too late, not because the company was unsavable. The Recovery Odds Index™ moves that intervention window earlier, when you still have options.
