Find the technology value hiding inside the portfolio.
Technology is rarely the thesis and often the surprise. It arrives with the acquisition, it is understood in fragments across entities, and the first time anyone needs a defensible number is usually the moment it is hardest to produce. NarrowGateX establishes what is true, compares it to the market, and helps the operating team decide what is worth doing about it.
The situations we see most often in PE-backed environments.
These patterns repeat across holds, transitions, and portfolio companies of different sizes.
Inherited technology, no clean map.
Three acquisitions in two years. Nobody can tell you what the full environment costs.
Rising spend, board wants answers.
Spend is climbing, with no clean breakdown by vendor, service, or entity. The board wants a cost story. The operating team doesn't have one.
Clean the stack before the process.
A credible, organized technology environment with clear contracts, visible spend, and rationalized vendors makes due diligence faster and the story cleaner.
Standardize across the portfolio.
Separate portfolio companies running on different vendors, different contracts, different standards. No shared operating model to manage technology across the portfolio.
Clarity, negotiating power, and a system that keeps the work moving.
Technology spend map
A clean view of costs by entity, vendor, service, and location with the commercial facts attached.
Contract and renewal map
Upcoming renewals, contract terms, negotiating windows, and risk flagged before they become reactive decisions.
Vendor rationalization priorities
Overlapping and redundant vendors identified with consolidation and negotiation opportunities prioritized.
Opportunity, sized honestly
Where the evidence supports an opportunity, what it rests on and what would have to be true to realize it. A variance against the market is not the same as money in the model, and the two are not presented as though they were.
Built for environments where the stakes are high and the timeline is real.
Scoped to a hold timeline, not an open-ended retainer.
Work is scoped up front against the portfolio in question, so it fits inside a hold period rather than running alongside it indefinitely.
The recommendation follows the evidence.
In some transactions a provider pays compensation. That is disclosed, and it never decides whether action is warranted. How decisions get made.
Bring the portfolio situation as-is. We will identify the right path fast.
One conversation is enough to size the opportunity and map the right program. Bring the documents you already have. No commitment required.
