For Capital Allocators
Multiple expansion, engineered from inside the deal.
For private equity, hedge funds, asset and wealth managers, fund administrators, servicers and family offices. Digital and AI transformation is now the primary driver of multiple expansion, and we run it from inside the deal, accountable for the result.
The same operating system applies to your own operations: middle and back office, fund administration and reporting, ManCo and depositary workflows, re-architected for cost, automation and DORA-grade resilience, for the CFO, COO and CIO who run it.
The number comes from a model published in full, not a black box. AI-native in how we work: the research and the plan that took a team weeks, one operator delivers in days. Then judgment prices the decision.
Your value proposition
What you are really trying to do.
A value-creation plan is a promise to your LPs. Here it is, framed the way you would pressure-test it: the job, the friction, and the win.
Make the asset worth more.
Buy well, transform the company through the hold, and exit at a higher multiple than you paid, on your fund’s clock.
Plans that stall in execution.
Digital and AI now drive the re-rate, yet the plan that reads well on the IC deck stalls, because no one in the room has held the transformation mandate. In Luxembourg, substance and governance rules block remote vendors.
A re-rate you can underwrite.
Multiple expansion you can put in the model, a de-risked hold, and an exit story a buyer pays a premium for, evidenced, not asserted.
The fit: an operator who has run value creation from inside Blackstone, Hg and Montagu, accountable from diligence to exit, on the ground in Luxembourg. That is what MakersOS installs, and what the rest of this page shows.
Why it matters to you
A plan is only as good as the operator who lands it.
An operator who has run buy-side diligence and value-creation plans from inside global private equity, including Blackstone, Hg Capital & Montagu, written to be executed, and executed.
Most plans look right on the IC deck and stall in execution, because no one in the room has actually held the transformation mandate. Cristian has.
In Luxembourg there is a second wall: strict local-substance and procurement rules, and institutional governance expectations few remote vendors can meet. You need a single accountable partner on the ground.
How we create value across the lifecycle
Diligence to exit. One continuous thread.
One read per phase, each from the same system: Confidence to Invest before you sign, Time to Transform through the hold, Value Realization at the exit. The hold is where the engines run, and they run in order: the first pays for the second.
Digital due diligence
Three maturities on the target: digital, cyber and cultural. The tech debt you inherit, the exposure the data room does not show, and whether the team can run the plan you are underwriting.
The value plan
The thesis turned into an operating model and an AI roadmap. A verified baseline, an operating cadence, owners, and a euro on every play.
Engine 1 · Optimise
Margin, cost to serve and automation. This is the J-curve dip: the charge on near-term EBITDA that buys the underlying quality, and the cash that funds Engine 2.
Engine 2 · Transform
Productise, own the IP, make the revenue recurring. Engine 1 moved the margin. This re-rates the multiple, the term most owners never work.
Buy and build
Every add-on lands on the model Engine 1 built, integrated inside the first 100 days of its own deal. Integration is where roll-ups fail.
Exit-ready, or standalone-ready
The equity story, evidenced. Vendor diligence a buyer cannot unpick, and a business worth more whether you sell it, carve it out or let it stand alone.
How the bridge reads · illustrative
Illustrative arithmetic, not a promised result: a 10× asset whose EBITDA lifts a third and whose multiple re-rates to 14× on recurring-revenue quality is worth roughly 1.9× its entry value. Same company, two engines, worked in order.
Sources: McKinsey, Bridging private equity’s value creation gap, April 2024. GPs that create value through asset operations earn two to three percentage points more IRR than peers, on an analysis of over 100 funds with vintages after 2020; and roughly two-thirds of the total return on buyout deals entered from 2010 and exited by 2021 came from market multiple expansion and leverage. Third-party research, cited as published. Illustrative, and not a promised result for your assets.

Same market. Two operating systems.
What the operating model is worth.
Itaú Unibanco and Nubank both bank Brazil. One was built as a bank, on roughly 93,600 people and a branch network. The other was built as a platform: about 8,000 people serving 135 million customers, growing 71% in three years.
Same industry. The gap is the operating system underneath. That is what Value = Revenue × Margin × Multiple measures, and what MakersOS moves.
Public figures, illustrative. Market capitalisations, headcount and customer counts, 2025 to 2026.
One accountable partner
One partner. Accountable for the value created.
One partner, on the ground and inside the deal, answerable for the one number that decides the exit: what the company is worth. We work every lever of that number, the revenue it earns, the margin it keeps and the multiple the market pays, and compound them into the return you underwrite.

Inside the Read · the Confidence-to-Invest index
Twelve anchored questions with the CTO: software share of the offer, one source of truth, data governance, architecture, AI in core workflows, front-to-back digitisation, delivery velocity.
Twelve with the leadership: funded experimentation, evidence over seniority, psychological safety, incentives for value, decision speed, change capacity, the people who must execute the plan.
Twelve on the recognised spine, identify, protect, detect, respond, recover, plus DORA/GDPR evidence-grade files, third-party risk, tested recovery. Designed in first, never bolted on.
Each answer refines one of the fourteen live: maturity moves the price, not the appendix.
Engineered value compounds. Waiting doesn’t.
