/ Diligence cost calculator

See the advisory spend that is currently moving without live control.

Advisory fees run to 3–8% of deal value, and most of it is tracked in spreadsheets and inboxes until the invoices land. Set your own deal value and assumptions below to size the exposure on a single deal. Everything here is illustrative, driven by your inputs.

Estimated advisory spend£2.5mIllustrative — 5.0% of £50m, about £500k per workstream.
Illustrative overrun exposure£250kMoney currently moving without live control — 10% of the estimated spend. An exposure to manage, not a saving you are promised.
The break-even line

A single challenged change of £50k — one workstream's share of that overrun — would cover the cost of AdviLink. Catch one scope change and the tool has paid for itself.

/ The economics

The cost of control is a rounding error against the cost of not having it.
