The DMSA framework converts technology diligence into a measurable driver of enterprise value — engineered specifically for PE-backed environments. Not a cost center. Not a checkbox. A multiple mover.
QPP's proprietary DMSA evaluates 10 digitalization dimensions within the context of an investment thesis. It elevates IT diligence from a checklist to a value creation instrument — a first in the lower middle market.
The DMSA was developed and validated through original doctoral research by QPP's founding principal, establishing it as the most rigorous and academically grounded digitalization assessment framework available to PE sponsors operating in the lower and middle market.
The framework quantifies technology maturity gaps as enterprise value discount factors and maps them directly to an improvement roadmap tied to EBITDA impact and multiple expansion.
While other firms sell clients the AI they already have — or treat technology diligence as a checklist item — QPP architects a phased value creation roadmap that treats AI adoption as a measurable enterprise value lever.
We work directly with PE sponsors, operating partners, and portfolio company leadership to design and deploy AI strategies that compound value across the hold period and position the business for a premium exit multiple.
QPP operates across the full AI-to-value stack: assessment, architecture, deployment, integration, and measurement — with the same accountability standards we apply to every engagement we accept.
