Who I serve
Find the version of this that is yours.
Two situations, one operator. Each starts with what you stand to lose this year, then the mechanism that meets it.
NH / MA defense contract manufacturer
Keep the prime. Hardwire the compliance into the work.
Your prime cannot award you covered work unless your assessment is current and posted, and DFARS 252.204-7012 has been binding the whole time. CMMC Phase 2 was suspended on July 13, 2026, which moved the certificate and moved nothing else. The shop that loses the work loses it on a score it cannot defend, not on a date.
PE operating partner / diligence
Find the operational risk before the LOI hardens.
The operational risk a financial model cannot see is the risk that torpedoes the LOI or resets the valuation after close. By the time it surfaces in the first quarter of ownership, you have already paid for it.
Not sure which one is yours? Start a conversation and we will map your situation to the work that fits.
