The M&A Competency Assessment is a 30-minute calibration built from the patterns 400+ deal leaders surfaced on the M&A Science Podcast. Take it once. Get a real read on individual and team thinking. Decide what to do about it.
Each pillar maps to a phase of the deal where practitioners told us they see the most expensive mistakes.
Whether your team can articulate value-capture before they touch a target, not after.
Whether your team converts diligence findings into a sharpened thesis, or just collects them in a folder.
Whether the operating standard survives close, or whether the deal becomes a stranded asset.
Bulk pricing is the wedge from Assessment into Teams. Most firms run the Assessment across a cohort first, see the variance, then commit to Teams to close it.
You get scores by pillar, a benchmark band against the practitioner corpus, and a one-page recommendation: which certification to take next, which Off Mandate sessions are most relevant, and where the team's variance is widest.
For Teams customers, the report rolls up at the firm level so partners can see where to invest training, who's ready for the credential, and who needs a different track.
The report doesn't sell you. It tells you what we'd recommend, and what it costs.
You're already operating at the standard on two pillars; you want to close the gap on the third. The Buyer-Led M&A Certification is the natural next step.
You see the variance and want to close it across the whole practice. Teams gets every associate the Assessment plus the Certification, plus a firm-level dashboard.
You're running 50+ deals a year and want the M&A Science corpus inside your own LLM stack. Connect adds DealPilot Data License and named Certified Advisor hours.
