Post-acquisition: turning tacit know-how into a structured knowledge base.

After acquisition, the real asset — decades of engineering knowledge, supplier relationships, and process shortcuts — lived in heads and scattered drives. Handover was happening by osmosis, slowly and incompletely.

We ran a consolidation pass across emails, drawings, transcripts and operational documents, and stood up an internal knowledge graph with AI agents sitting on top. The acquiring group could now query the acquired entity like any other operational system.

Integration timeline compressed. Knowledge no longer held hostage by any single person. Value assumed in the deal memo unlocked through operational clarity.
