Where the fee goes
Look at the invoice. Then look at the lobby.
The marble. The atrium. The cucumber water in the reception fridge. The partner who flew in for the kick-off and the readout and nothing in between. You paid for all of it.
The work itself was done by associates you never met, on a template used on the last forty deals. The findings were true of every company. That is why they did not help you with this one.
And the part nobody mentions: they run that work through AI now. It takes a fraction of the hours it took three years ago. Your fee has not moved by a dollar.
For PE, by PE
We sat on your side of the table.
Claymore was built by operators who spent years inside PE-backed companies and inside the funds that owned them. We signed off those invoices. We got fleeced too.
So we priced Claymore the way we wished someone had priced it for us. A fixed fee, agreed before we start, for work you will actually use. No hourly clock, no juniors learning on your deal, no building to fund.

A costed fix list
A list of what is broken, what it costs to fix and what it is worth when fixed. It becomes the first hundred days.
