Use the A&M 100-day plan framework, which structures the plan into three phases: Stabilize (days 1-30), Accelerate (31-60), and Sustain (61-100). Each phase defines focus areas, workstreams, milestones, and deliverables such as baseline assessments and board reports.

The skill includes 11 frameworks: A&M 100-day plan, cost optimization, working capital, commercial excellence, and PEPI tracker; PwC value creation planner and Fit for Growth; Bain Full Potential and Results Delivery; plus generic value creation tracking and pricing optimization.

Use the EBITDA bridge template, which decomposes target EBITDA into revenue enhancement (pricing, cross-sell, new markets), cost reduction (procurement, headcount, facilities), working capital release, and implementation costs. Each lever is quantified in dollar terms.

No, the Nexus MCP connection is optional. Without it, all frameworks work standalone by providing company financials, cost structures, and initiative plans manually. The MCP integration only adds portfolio data retrieval via nexus_list_portfolio and nexus_get_deal.

Working capital analysis follows the A&M methodology using DSO, DPO, and DIO metrics benchmarked against industry medians. The cash conversion cycle (DSO + DIO - DPO) identifies cash release opportunities, which feed into the EBITDA bridge as one-time cash items.
