Cross-border Technology Deal Architect

Before you sign,
validate the decision.

Field-based decision validation for critical cross-border commitments — technology partnerships, market entries, strategic suppliers.

One question answered clearly: Should you do this deal at all?

Why this exists

The problem

Contracts lock in expectations. Teams lock in narratives. Reversals become expensive. The moment a deal closes, the cost of being wrong compounds — not in projections, but in execution reality.

What's missing

AI summarizes markets. Advisors optimize execution. But the upstream question — "Should we do this deal at all?" — rarely has a structured answer before signature. That gap is what this engagement addresses.

“We validate critical cross-border decisions before they become irreversible.”
— CLARIVEX

Who this is for

Founders & CEOs

Entering a new market or locking a long-term technology relationship when local reality cannot be verified remotely.

Corporate BD Leaders

Evaluating a strategic partner or critical supplier — where execution capability matters more than credentials.

Investment & M&A Teams

Validating operational assumptions before committing to a technology partnership or regional expansion.

Cross-border Deal Teams

When documents and calls aren’t enough to verify operational reality, incentives, and accountability.

Typical scenarios

"Can this partner execute at scale?" "Is this market entry timing right?" "Why isn't anything converting?" "Does alignment hold beyond the pitch?" "What am I missing remotely?" "Is this deal worth the commitment?"

What you receive

01 Decision Architecture Remote · 5–10 days

Clarify the actual decision being made — not the stated version, the structural one
Surface which assumptions are load-bearing and which are narrative comfort
Identify where “reversible” is being treated as irreversible — and vice versa
Map decision dependencies and sequencing risks

Output: Decision Architecture Brief + Risk Register

02 On-site Decision Intelligence Field · Only when required

Triggered only when a critical unknown cannot be resolved remotely
Typical triggers: execution capability, accountability structure, local constraints
Validates assumptions against operational reality, not presentation materials
Surfaces what does not appear in documentation: incentives, informal authority, bottlenecks

Output: Evidence Pack + Assumption Validation Table

03 Deal Architecture + Decision Memo Synthesis · Actionable

Converts intelligence into a structured judgment document
Proceed — with guardrails and accountability checkpoints
Pause & Reframe — with the assumption that must change, and how to test it
Stop — with the structural reason and cost-of-exit at this stage

Output: Decision Memo (Proceed / Pause / Stop) + Deal Guardrails

Optional module — separate engagement

Validated Execution Bridge

For engagements where the decision is Proceed — but execution risk remains between parties. Alignment design, accountability framework, and execution structure clarification. Compensation disclosed. This is not brokerage.

How it works

Step 01

Intake

15–30 min. Understanding your situation, decision stage, and fit. Not a sales call.

Step 02

Decision Architecture Sprint

5–10 business days. Remote structural analysis. Clarifies what is actually being decided.

Step 03

On-site Mission

Only if required. Scoped to the assumption that cannot be resolved remotely.

Step 04

Decision Memo

Proceed, Pause, or Stop — with a clear structural rationale.

What this is not

Clarity on scope protects both sides. If the following describes your current need, a different engagement is a better fit.

×Deal sourcing or introductions alone

×Sales acceleration or pipeline conversion

×Execution support without prior decision validation

×Post-deal damage control or retroactive validation

“Our role is filtration, not acceleration.”

One decision. One advisor. Full accountability.
