50 to 85% of acquisitions fail to deliver the value that justified them at approval. That's not usually a due diligence problem. It's usually a problem with board decision-making: the rationale, conditions and intent behind the original decision get lost somewhere between the boardroom and the integration team, and the pattern often repeats deal after deal within the same programme. Sherpany fixes this gap by design. Find out how: https://bit.ly/4xot8Eq #SherpanyforMandA

62% of dealmakers say human-only decision-making in complex situations is indefensible. Only 22% would follow an AI recommendation on whether to sign a deal. The lesson isn't less human judgement. It's better stewardship of the decisions humans make, deal after deal. M&A decisions happen in the boardroom, not the data room. Yours should happen in Sherpany.

Most acquisitions fail to deliver the value that justified them at approval. For a portfolio, that pattern tends to repeat across every fund cycle, unless the thesis your Investment Committee approves at entry is carried through to exit. M&A decisions happen in the boardroom, not the data room. Yours should happen in Sherpany.

62% of dealmakers say human-only decision-making in complex situations is indefensible. Only 22% would follow an AI recommendation on whether to sign a deal. For a portfolio, the harder question isn't whether AI improves due diligence. It's whether your Investment Committee's decisions stay visible long after the deal closes, and shape how the next one is underwritten. M&A decisions happen in the boardroom, not the data room. Yours should happen in Sherpany.

Between 50 and 85% of acquisitions fail to deliver the value that justified them at approval. Not because the analysis was wrong. Because the decision that authorised the deal loses its context long before integration is finished, and the next acquisition often starts from the same blind spot. M&A decisions happen in the boardroom, not the data room. Yours should happen in Sherpany.
