02 / Structure

A unit that can stand on its own balance sheet.

We engineer the separation — systems, data ownership, vendor contracts, and the financial scaffolding — so an internal unit becomes a company in its own right.

A · The Separation

From department to entity.

Every dependency mapped. Every shared system untangled. The carve-out plan rendered as a single diagram the board can read in 30 seconds.

A 24-month standalone plan.
