Platform Maturity Thesis: Overall score 75/100.
Recommended path: IPO (S-1 filing).
Remediation investment of $8.6M over 9-18 months moves platform from strategic-ready to IPO-ready — highest priorities are SOX 404 internal controls,
payer diversification below 18% top-payer share, and 3-year audited financial track record.
Sponsor-to-sponsor and continuation vehicle paths offer faster execution at modest multiple discount.
Dividend recap remains available pre-exit to return capital to LPs while preserving exit optionality.
