The Cost of What You Don't See
- Every year, over $800 billion in U.S. market value is erased by corporate fraud, two-thirds of which is only discovered after irreversible damage
- One scandal can destroy up to 40% of a company's value overnight
- Traditional diligence misses critical behavioral, reputational, and cultural signals, until it's too late
- Cultural misalignment destroys more than 30% of integration value post-M&A
- Undetected governance failures invite activist attacks, regulatory fines, and public scrutiny
