Proven Performance · Measurable ROI

Managed Spend = Adjusted Baseline across Funds IV–V + co-invest sleeves (sourced from Finance variance bridge).
Realized EBITDA Shift = Billing-stop backed savings booked in the last four quarters after CFO attestation.
Forward Savings = Contracts with executed term sheets + integration plans queued for the next budget submission.
Variance vs IC Plan = Current run rate vs the Investment Committee baseline used when capital was deployed.
Renewal Coverage = % of renewals inside 90 days that have strategy, benchmarks, and owner accountability in CASt.
Operator / OP NPS = Rolling 90-day score from portfolio CFOs/CIOs on the CASt operating model.

Portfolio Value Overview

Baseline Spend is the Finance-approved Adjusted Baseline (carve-outs removed, in-flight work added). TTM shows the past twelve months of actuals vs that baseline, and NTM = TTM - Forward Locked savings once gating approvals are complete.
Savings % is realized impact vs that baseline, tied back to Finance-approved entries in the CASt decision log.
Forward Locked dollars represent signed term sheets or consolidation plays with evidence packages ready for CFO review.
Renewal Notes flag the next CASt gate (benchmark package, architecture review, billing-stop evidence, negotiation packet) so Operating Partners know what happens before CFO sign-off.
VCMS Progress shows how far the portco is through the CASt operating system (Baseline → Governance → Architecture → Sustain). 100% = managed service steady state.
