Service Tracks

Four entry points into the same question: what is really happening inside the company?

You do not need to know the name of the service you need. You only need to describe the symptom. LCATO helps you identify whether the issue is financial, operational, governance related, partnership related, or a decision that needs an independent second opinion.

Track 01

Liquidity Leakage and Financial Diagnosis

This track is for companies that appear active, growing, or profitable, yet still feel pressure on liquidity. We look beyond the headline numbers to understand where money is delayed, absorbed, discounted, overcommitted, or lost inside the operating cycle.

What we examine

  • Profitability by product, customer, channel, or business unit.
  • Receivables, collections, payment behavior, and credit exposure.
  • Inventory movement, slow moving items, and capital trapped in stock.
  • Supplier pricing, purchasing terms, and hidden cost escalation.
  • The gap between accounting profit and available liquidity.
  • Expense patterns that appear small individually but become material collectively.

Output

A clear diagnostic of where liquidity is leaking, what is causing it, and what actions should be taken first.

Track 02

Governance and Operating Model

This track is for companies that have grown faster than their internal structure. Decisions slow down, people overlap, authority becomes unclear, and the owner or senior leader becomes the only real operating system.

What we examine

  • Actual decision flows compared with formal reporting lines.
  • Authority levels, approvals, signing rights, and spending limits.
  • Role overlap between owners, executives, departments, and committees.
  • Escalation paths and where decisions become stuck.
  • Governance routines, management meetings, and decision records.
  • Accountability gaps that allow work to move without ownership.

Output

A practical governance and operating model reset, including decision rights, accountability lines, and an implementation path.

Track 03

Decision Room and Second Opinion

This track is for decisions that are too important to be approved on optimism alone. We help leadership teams review major files before they commit capital, enter a partnership, sign a long term agreement, approve a major hire, or move into a new growth direction.

When clients engage us

  • Before approving a major expansion.
  • Before entering a partnership or joint operating structure.
  • Before accepting investment terms or bringing in a partner.
  • Before signing a long term supply or commercial agreement.
  • Before approving a senior leadership appointment.
  • When a feasibility study or proposal feels too optimistic.

Output

A structured second opinion that tests assumptions, highlights missing risks, and recommends whether to proceed, adjust, renegotiate, or stop.

Track 04

Strategic Partnerships and Alliances

This track is for companies that see value in working together, but need the structure to make the relationship viable. We help turn commercial intent into clear roles, fair economics, manageable governance, and agreements that can survive execution.

Where we work

  • Procurement alliances.
  • Supply agreements.
  • Joint operating structures.
  • Growth partnerships.
  • Capital participation structures.
  • Commercial collaboration between companies.
  • Role, risk, and value sharing arrangements.
  • Exit and continuation mechanisms.

Output

A partnership structure that clarifies who contributes what, who decides what, who carries which risk, and how value is shared.
