I see a lot of MBB folks getting staffed on DD stuff - what kind of work do you guys do on those? Typical modeling (valuation, lbo, forecasted pro forma etc.) Just curious how common those skills are

I shouldn't specify MBB - ik B4 does this work as well just curious as to the hard skills that folks at "strategy firms" are building

In addition to that standard stuff we do a ton of customer insights on DDs. Basically a quick answer of whether or not they have a unique value proposition that customers value. Emphasis on quick answer.

Ah ok what framework or approach is used to make that evaluation? Or is it unique to each company, value proposition just seems like a vague term so I'm not sure where one would even start when attempting to quantify that

Standard customer insight work, just done very quickly.

Cool, thanks!
