Listing readiness
An honest assessment of what has to change before a listing is possible.
Readiness is measured in reporting quality, governance, structure and forecast reliability. We assess each against the requirements of the intended venue and set out the work and the time it takes.
Most companies need twelve to twenty-four months of preparation. The assessment says which items are on the critical path and which can be resolved during the process.
