IT ERODES QUIETLY

Nobody deletes the record deliberately. It goes a piece at a time.

There is no moment at which a firm decides to destroy its operating history. It goes in migrations that leave data behind, retention policies that run on schedule, and people who leave taking context nobody wrote down.

WHY THIS AFFECTS VALUE

What erosion costs against the four pricing factors

Loss does not disqualify a firm, but it does move the number, and it moves it in one direction.

Continuity falls

Gaps make it harder to follow a judgement through to its outcome, which is one of the four factors weighed.

Tenure effectively shortens

A thirty-year firm whose first fifteen years are gone prices closer to a fifteen-year firm.

Outcome coverage thins

Losing the early material often means losing the decisions whose results are now known.

Reasoning density holds

The good news. What survives is as rich as it ever was, which is why partial records still transact.

WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT

Two minutes to find out what you still have

  1. 01

    Establish what remains

    Six questions about what the firm runs on and what it ran on before. No obligation on either side.

  2. 02

    A straight answer

    If what remains is genuinely too thin, you will hear it on the first call rather than after a process.

  3. 03

    Review before pricing

    We look at what actually exists rather than what should. Reviewed first, always.

  4. 04

    Papered and paid

    Typically $100K to $2M, agreed within a week, paid Net 30 to 60 after approval and anonymization.
