Development and feasibility
Review of market studies, projections, concept positioning, project budgets, opening assumptions, ramp-up, stabilization, and development economics.
Management and ownership
Assessment of budgets, reporting, controls, operational execution, owner-operator responsibilities, partnership issues, and claimed underperformance.
Franchise and agreement disputes
Hospitality operating analysis related to franchise relationships, management agreements, performance, brand obligations, termination, and transition.
Business interruption and distress
Evaluation of pre-loss baselines, period of restoration, reopening, mitigation, continuing and avoided expenses, bankruptcy, receivership, and turnaround issues.
Real estate and condemnation
Analysis where hospitality operating economics intersect with leases, transactions, development, property restrictions, access, condemnation, and operating value.
Valuation-related issues
Hospitality-specific review of assumptions affecting business performance, operating cash flow, projections, capital investment, and owner returns.
Engagement discipline
Independent by design.
Matters are evaluated carefully before acceptance. Unsupported assumptions and weaknesses are identified directly. Conclusions follow the evidence and supportable methodology—not a predetermined outcome.
Credibility begins with intellectual honesty about what the evidence can—and cannot—support.
