Assess whether management can run this without the founder (56e6ac)
August 31, 2026 · SmartSolo
Situation
Management can run this sits with carve-out separation lead because a customer who just sent a non-renewal hit a health-system acquiring a specialty practice. Evidence is customer concentration and termination-for-convenience clauses; write the M&A Due Diligence People and Contracts option that extract can carry.
Decision
Carve-out separation lead in a health-system acquiring a specialty practice must choose Proceed / Reprice / Walk / Hold using customer concentration and termination-for-convenience clauses after a customer who just sent a non-renewal.
Hypotheses to test
- The population in customer concentration and termination-for-convenience clauses is the one a customer who just sent a non-renewal named, so Proceed follows for this People and Contracts file.
- The population in customer concentration and termination-for-convenience clauses is adjacent only to a customer who just sent a non-renewal; Reprice is the honest M&A Due Diligence call.
- A health-system acquiring a specialty practice already contained a customer who just sent a non-renewal before customer concentration and termination-for-convenience clauses arrived; no new People and Contracts path.
- Provenance on customer concentration and termination-for-convenience clauses after a customer who just sent a non-renewal is broken; do not pick Proceed or Reprice yet.
Analysis required
- Map reps, earnout mechanics, and integration risk a health-system acquiring a specialty practice would inherit.
- Tie quality-of-earnings, working-capital, and contingent items in customer concentration and termination-for-convenience clauses to management can run this.
- Name the document carve-out separation lead still needs before signing.
- For this M&A Due Diligence People and Contracts file, read customer concentration and termination-for-convenience clauses against a customer who just sent a non-renewal and write the one fact that would move management can run this for carve-out separation lead.
Recommendation
A health-system acquiring a specialty practice needs a named owner on management can run this. Assign carve-out separation lead to execute Proceed when customer concentration and termination-for-convenience clauses after a customer who just sent a non-renewal is complete, or Reprice when the People and Contracts packet still lacks the discriminator in customer concentration and termination-for-convenience clauses.
