ERI™

A score tells you where to look.
The record tells you what to do.

ERI™ shows where operating records disagree, captures management's explanation, keeps GGI's assessment separate, and carries owners, evidence and progress forward.

A reconciled operating record that carries forward.

ERI™ reconciles records created for different purposes and keeps what each source supports, what management explains, what GGI assesses and what remains open.

Baseline

What do the records support?

Define the scope, population, period and source roles behind what management represents.

Review

Where do they disagree?

Surface gaps and differences that need explanation, kept separate from confirmed contradictions.

Lifecycle

Who owns the next action?

Carry the finding, explanation, assessment, owner, evidence, status and movement forward.

Five governed steps. Distinct roles.

The platform structures the record. Management, specialists and GGI make the judgments.

01

Scope the assertion

Define the entity, population, period, obligation, decision context and evidence sources relevant to the review.

02

Establish the baseline

Organize what the provided records support and identify evidence gaps or candidate conflicts.

03

Management explains

Capture definitions, context, operating intent, decisions, disputed facts and internal ownership.

04

GGI assesses

Apply independent operating judgment to significance, institutional relevance, action and escalation.

05

Track the finding

Maintain ownership, evidence, remediation status, review history and movement over time.

Steps 1–2 Surface · Steps 3–4 Resolve · Step 5 Close

Four roles. One record anyone can follow.

Machine / platform

Organizes evidence, compares records, surfaces possible exceptions and maintains the governed record.

Management

Explains factual and contextual meaning, confirms or disputes observations, and attests to decisions and ownership.

Relevant specialists

Apply professional judgment within legal, tax, financial, cyber, HR, audit and other defined scopes.

GGI

Independently assesses significance and manages the cross-functional remediation program.

Six principles for interpreting operating evidence.

01

Differences get context before conclusions.

Records can describe different populations, dates, entities or purposes. Comparability is established before a difference becomes a contradiction.

02

Authority depends on the question.

A record's weight depends on the assertion, period and decision at hand.

03

Missing evidence remains visible.

ERI records what was provided, what was assessed and what remains open.

04

Management explains; GGI assesses.

Context is essential. GGI keeps independent judgment over significance, remediation and readiness.

05

Open questions stay visible.

The record can hold disputed facts, qualified conclusions and open items.

06

Closure has a basis.

A finding keeps an owner, action, supporting evidence, review history and a clear basis for closure or renewed review.

Clear roles, transparent evidence, accountable judgment.

ERI strengthens institutional reliance by making the operating record explainable, preserving source context, and keeping accountable people in the judgment chain.

Complements specialist diligence

ERI organizes the operating assertions and dependencies that QoE, legal, tax, commercial, cyber, HR, audit and other specialists rely upon.

Keeps remediation expert-led

GGI provides operating judgment and program management while accountable people determine significance, required action and closure.

Preserves source context

The record shows what each source supports, where context is required, and what remains open for explanation or assessment.

Combines machine assistance with human judgment

Machine-assisted processing surfaces candidate gaps. Management explains context. GGI independently assesses significance.

Shows what's supported and what's open

The record separates provided evidence, unassessed evidence, unsupported assertions, candidate conflicts and confirmed findings.

Keeps the judgment chain reconstructable

Evidence, explanation, assessment, ownership, action and closure basis remain connected for accountable review.

Between operating evidence and institutional reliance.

Quality of Earnings tests the financial earnings story. Specialist diligence evaluates risks within defined professional scopes. ERI™, the Exit Readiness Index™, reconciles the operating assertions and dependencies those workstreams rely upon, identifies where records and management representations diverge, and preserves the finding history over time. GGI applies independent judgment and coordinates the operating leadership required to move material findings toward verified closure.

The workflow executes against the record. The record governs the workflow.

Request a briefing

Start with the operating question. Scope the evidence review when the fit is clear.

An introductory ERI briefing can focus on the operating question, decision context and scope. Detailed evidence and environment-specific analysis can follow under agreed confidentiality.
