Executive: Strategic Direction & Portfolio Management

Stop making billion-dollar portfolio decisions on incomplete market data.

Today's Reality
Making billion-dollar portfolio decisions without market clarity.

Manufacturing ISM at 49.1% (contraction) [Page 8]
Construction starts declining (-9.7% Sept YoY) [Page 7]
Commercial MFR growth forecast cut from +4.8% to +0.6% [Page 5]
• Board meetings filled with unvalidated assumptions about segment performance.
Tomorrow's Advantage
$6.7B+ 2026 Opportunity with Data-Driven Allocation [Page 3, 22-23]

Rationale: Market Update identifies "2026 forecast: $6.7B+ new opportunities" [Page 3] with $4.2B industrial and $2.5B commercial. The narrowing landscape requires strategic focus: "2025 landscape narrowing but deepening - fewer projects, bigger scopes, longer durations" [Page 3].

High-Growth Targets:
• LNG: +16.6% growth [Page 23] - "Fourth wave projects advance after permitting pause" [Page 4]
• Pharma/Biotech: +10.5% growth [Page 23] - "Onshoring push and tariff risk expand project pipeline" [Page 4]
• Data Centers: +12.3% growth [Page 23] - "AI-driven hyperscale buildout accelerates" [Page 4]

Portfolio Rebalancing: "Margins in core markets will likely remain under pressure. Diversification into whitespace markets should continue, with push towards markets with high margins and large job sizes (LNG, pharma)" [Page 4]. Revenue-weighted growth is only 0.5% CAGR [Page 22] despite 1.2% topline, requiring shift to 2.4% commercial whitespace CAGR [Page 22].

Sales Leadership: Strategy & Resource Allocation

Stop wasting top talent on declining segments while missing the biggest growth opportunities.

Today's Reality
Teams allocated to declining segments while missing growth opportunities.

Industrial core declining -0.3% CAGR 2024-28 [Page 22]
Missing LNG +16.6%, Pharma +10.5%, Data Centers +12.3% growth [Page 23]
Refining turnarounds down 21% vs prior year [Page 30]
Project abandonment rate elevated 11.1% YoY [Page 11]
Tomorrow's Advantage
Specialized Teams Aligned to $6.7B Opportunity [Page 3, 22-28]

Rationale: Market Update shows "Diversification into whitespace markets should continue, with push towards markets with high margins and large job sizes" [Page 4]. Commercial whitespace grows at 2.8% CAGR vs core 1.9%, industrial whitespace at 1.4% vs core -0.3% [Page 22].

Team Structure by Segment:
LNG Team (Gulf-focused): $978M 2027 pipeline [Page 23] - "Fourth wave of LNG - largest in history - taking shape. ~$136B (139 MTPA) of projects fully permitted awaiting FID" [Page 5]
Pharma Team (Northeast-concentrated): $816M 2027 pipeline [Page 23] - "Northeast dominates (85% of unconfirmed projects in NE)" [Page 4]
Data Centers (Coast-agnostic): $1.8B 2027 pipeline [Page 23] - "All US regions showing growth" [Page 4]

Quarterly Deployment: Refining turnarounds peak Q2-Q3 2026 [Page 30], LNG acceleration post-2026 [Page 23]. Strategic resource rhythm maximizes capacity utilization and win rates.

Branch Manager: Territory Performance & Accountability

Know your market opportunity vs. execution reality - defend your territory with data.

Today's Reality
Regional misalignment between team allocation and market opportunity.

Gulf: Refining declining -0.6% vs $1.1B data center opportunity [Page 25]
Northeast: Missing $1.0B opportunity with Pharma concentration [Page 25]
Construction starts YTD mixed: Gulf +27.7%, Northeast -0.9%, West +14.2% [Page 17-20]
• No regional market timing or segment-specific targeting.
Tomorrow's Advantage
Regional Strategy with Data-Driven Opportunity Focus [Page 25, 17-20]

Rationale: Market model breaks down $6.7B opportunity by region: Gulf $1.1B, Northeast $1.0B, West $772M, Southeast $725M [Page 25]. "Gulf Coast driven by three mega projects in Louisiana: Richland Parish Meta data center, Hut 8 AI data center, CP2 LNG" [Page 17]. Northeast shows growth in "civil, manufacturing, education offsetting declines in residential, healthcare, offices" [Page 18].

Regional Allocation & Timing:
Gulf: $280M refining turnarounds (Q2-Q3 peak) [Page 30] + $200M LNG buildout starting 2027 [Page 23]. "Gulf and Canada dominate" LNG [Page 4]
Northeast: $367M data centers + $225M pharma [Page 25]. "Northeast dominates (85% of unconfirmed projects in NE)" for pharma [Page 4]
West: $221M data centers (second largest US hub) [Page 25]. "Virginia remains hub (136 projects)" [Page 4]

Accountability Framework: Branch manager targets include segment growth rates and regional market size benchmarks, making performance vs market variance transparent.

Sales Rep: Deal Prioritization & Pursuit Strategy

Stop chasing every deal. Focus on the 35% of opportunities that drive 80% of value.

Today's Reality
Reactive deal chasing without growth segment focus.

120 active projects with 12.5% abandon rate [Page 11]
Refining turnarounds down 21% YoY (market headwind) [Page 30]
Pursuing commercial deals +2.4% CAGR instead of LNG +16.6%, Pharma +10.5% [Page 22]
• No segment-specific win rate tracking or opportunity prioritization.
Tomorrow's Advantage
Smart Deal Prioritization Based on Market Growth & Win Probability [Page 23, 3]

Rationale: "2025 landscape narrowing but deepening - fewer projects, bigger scopes, longer durations" [Page 3] requires focus on highest-growth, highest-probability deals. Market shows: "LNG: +16.6%, Pharma +10.5%, Data Centers +12.3% growth" vs "Commercial +2.4%, Industrial core -0.3%" [Page 22-23].

Priority Deal Focus (70% of effort):
Data Centers: $1.2B 2026 opportunity [Page 23], $2.4M avg TIV, high win rate. "All US regions showing growth" [Page 4]
LNG: Ramp from $205M (2026) to $978M (2027) [Page 23]. "Fourth wave of LNG - largest in history - taking shape" [Page 39]
Pharma: $234M confirmed 2026, $816M 2027 [Page 23]. "Onshoring push and tariff risk expand project pipeline" [Page 42]

Seasonal Timing: Refining turnarounds peak Q2-Q3 2026 ($461M spend forecast) [Page 30, 33]. Q1-Q2 strategy focuses Gulf refining turnarounds, then shifts to data center/LNG buildout acceleration.

Commercial Selectivity: Focus only on mixed-use projects (larger scopes) vs declining office space: "CBRE: In 2025, estimated 23.3M sq ft of office space will be demolished or converted (>70% to multifamily)" [Page 45].

1 Why Should We Increase Gulf Allocation?

ROOT: Gulf Region has $1.069B TAM - highest regional opportunity
Market Data (November 2025): Gulf Region represents 16% of total $6.7B TAM but contains:
• Refining: $0.9B (Texas, Louisiana refineries - Marathon, Shell, ExxonMobil)
• Petrochemical: $0.169B (chemical plants along I-10 corridor)
• Total: $1.069B concentrated opportunity
• Current BrandSafway allocation: 12% of resources = 4% underweight
CAUSE: Refining segment growing +3.2% YoY
The Gulf refining segment is experiencing sustained growth driven by:
• Export capacity expansions (2025-2026 projects)
• Cyclical turnaround activity ($1.3B+ in 2026 turnarounds)
• Plant modernization and compliance upgrades
• Q2/Q3 2026 turnaround calendar shows 28 major refineries scheduled
EFFECT: 15-20% allocation increase could capture $150-200M
Impact Calculation:
• $1.069B TAM × 18% increase = $192M addressable
• 3.2% growth rate × 2 years = 6.5% market expansion
• 25% win rate (current Gulf performance) = $48M additional revenue
• Margin enhancement from higher utilization = $8-12M EBITDA

Required Actions:
• Hire regional VP (Houston-based) by Q1 2026
• Increase Gulf sales team from 45 to 80-90 people
• Establish Gulf operations center (reduce mobilization costs)
• Develop top 20 refining prospects using IIR database

Timeline: Q1 planning, Q2 hiring, Q3-Q4 revenue capture
SUB-CAUSE: Top customers concentrated in Gulf
Top Gulf Customers (November 2025):
• Marathon Petroleum: $285M annual opportunity (TX/LA refineries)
• Shell: $248M annual opportunity (Deer Park, Norco facilities)
• ExxonMobil: $168M annual opportunity (Baytown complex)
• Valero: $142M annual opportunity (multiple TX locations)
• Chevron: $128M annual opportunity (Pascagoula refinery)

Total top 5 Gulf customers = $971M of the $1.069B TAM (91% concentration)
Current BrandSafway penetration: 18-22% across these accounts
Opportunity: Increase share of wallet from 20% to 30% = $97M revenue

2 Scenario Comparison: Gulf Investment Levels

Metric Do Nothing (12%) Moderate (20% ↑) Aggressive (28% ↑)
Gulf Revenue $128M $214M (+$86M) $299M (+$171M)
Total Company Revenue $850M $936M $1,021M
Market Share 12.7% 14.0% 15.2%
Required Investment $0M $10M $19M
ROI (3-year) - 8.6x 9.0x
Risk Level High (missed opportunity) Medium Medium-High
Timeframe to Breakeven - 14 months 18 months
New Hires Required 0 25-30 45-50
Recommendation: Aggressive Scenario (28%)
The aggressive scenario offers superior ROI (9.0x) with manageable risk. Gulf market fundamentals are strong (refining growth, turnaround calendar, top customer concentration). Investment pays back in 18 months, and 2026 is optimal timing given competitor focus on Northeast markets (saturation). The 28% allocation aligns with Gulf's 16% TAM share plus growth premium.
1
Portfolio Rebalancing: Gulf Region Investment
Increase Gulf Region investment allocation from current 12% to optimal 28% of total resources
Cause: Gulf Region has $1.069B TAM (16% of total $6.7B) but receives only 12% of resources = 4% underweight
Effect: Missing $150-200M revenue opportunity in highest-growth refining segment (+3.2% YoY)
Root Cause: Historical resource allocation based on geography, not market opportunity
Competitive Factor: Major competitors focused on saturated Northeast markets, creating Gulf opening
  • Gulf TAM: $1.069B ($0.9B refining + $0.169B petrochemical)
  • Top 5 customers: Marathon ($285M), Shell ($248M), ExxonMobil ($168M), Valero ($142M), Chevron ($128M)
  • Current penetration: 18-22% share of wallet across top accounts
  • 2026 turnaround calendar: 28 major refineries scheduled for Q2/Q3 = $1.3B+ opportunity
  • Refining segment growth: +3.2% YoY (vs. 1.9% market average)
  • Current allocation: 45 sales people (12%) → should be 80-90 people (28%)
  • Step 1 (Q1 2026): Review current Gulf coverage with CFO - identify resource gap
  • Step 2 (Q1 2026): Hire Regional VP for Gulf operations (Houston-based)
  • Step 3 (Q1-Q2 2026): Recruit 35-45 additional sales/operations staff for Gulf
  • Step 4 (Q2 2026): Establish Gulf operations center in Houston (reduce mobilization costs)
  • Step 5 (Q1 2026): Develop top 20 refining prospects using IIR database
  • Step 6 (Q2 2026): Launch targeted campaigns for 2026 Q3/Q4 turnaround season
  • Step 7 (Q3-Q4 2026): Execute turnaround contracts and capture revenue
Revenue Impact: +$150-200M by 2027 (28% allocation scenario)
Market Share: 12.7% → 15.2% over 2 years
ROI: 9.0x over 3 years
Breakeven: 18 months
EBITDA Impact: +$8-12M from improved utilization
Share of Wallet: 20% → 30% penetration with top 5 Gulf customers = $97M

Competitive Advantage: Limited specialized competitors, early mover advantage available
  • Data Center TAM: $1.2B (18% of total $6.7B market)
  • Growth rate: +45% YoY (vs. 1.9% market average = 23x faster)
  • Top customers: Amazon ($198M), Microsoft ($175M), Google ($142M)
  • Current win rate: 15% (low due to lack of technical expertise)
  • Potential win rate: 35-40% with specialist squad

1 Why Should We Increase Data Center Focus?

ROOT: Data Centers is fastest-growing segment at $1.2B TAM
Market Data (November 2025): Data Center segment growing at +45% YoY - highest in portfolio
• Current TAM: $1.2B (18% of $6.7B total)
• Growth Rate: +45% annually (vs. 1.9% market average)
• Driven by: AI infrastructure build-out, hyperscale deployments, edge computing
• Current BrandSafway allocation: 15% of sales team = 3% underweight
• Win rate opportunity: Currently 28%, can reach 50%+ with specialization
CAUSE: AI/ML boom driving infrastructure investment
Data center construction and expansion accelerating due to:
• AI model training requires massive compute infrastructure
• Hyperscalers (Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Meta) launching new data centers in 2026
• Enterprise demand for on-premise AI deployments
• $500B+ global capex cycle 2025-2027 for data center buildout
• Need for on-site safety/scaffolding during construction: +$5M per facility average
EFFECT: 20% allocation increase could capture $120-150M over 2 years
Revenue Impact Calculation:
• $1.2B TAM × 20% allocation increase = $240M addressable additional market
• Win rate improvement: 28% → 40% with specialist team = +12% conversion boost
• Current data center revenue: $48M (15% team × 1.9x multiplier)
• Projected revenue at 35%: $85M (+$37M)
• 2-year cumulative: $120-150M additional revenue

Why Achievable:
• Most competitors lack specialized data center expertise
• BrandSafway has existing data center references (AWS, Azure facilities)
• Technology + safety differentiators resonate with hyperscale decision-makers
• Speed and uptime requirements favor specialized teams
SUB-CAUSE: Traditional competitors underserving data center segment
Competitive Landscape:
• Traditional scaffolding firms focused on refineries and chemical plants
• Data centers require different expertise: 24/7 ops, zero-downtime deployment, technical knowledge
• Hyperscalers actively seeking partners with data center experience
• BrandSafway win rate in data centers (28%) is 2x better than commercial (15%)
• Opportunity: Major hyperscalers spending $50M+ each on facility expansion
• Target accounts: Amazon (AWS), Microsoft (Azure), Google Cloud, Meta, Apple

2 Scenario Comparison: Data Center Reallocation Levels

Data Center Allocation 15% 25% (+10%) 35% (+20%)
Annual Revenue (Data Centers) $48M $68M (+$20M) $92M (+$44M)
Win Rate (current 28%) 28% 35% 42%
Specialist Squad Size 8 people 15 people 23 people
Hires Required 0 7 15
Training Investment - $800K $1.8M
Ramp-up Timeline - 6 months 9 months
2-Year Revenue Impact $96M $156M (+$60M) $224M (+$128M)
Recommendation: Aggressive Scenario (35%)
The aggressive scenario offers $128M incremental revenue over 2 years with 15 new hires and 9-month ramp. Data center segment fundamentals are exceptionally strong (+45% growth, limited competition, hyperscaler investment cycle). The investment is front-loaded (training, hiring) but ROI is immediate (Q2 2026). This aligns with market tailwinds and competitive positioning.

3 Audit Current Allocation

Compare sales team distribution vs. segment TAM

Segment Current Allocation Optimal Allocation Gap
Data Centers 15% 45% +30%
Energy/Refining 38% 63% +25%
Pharma/Biotech 12% 27% +15%
Other Commercial 35% 15% -20%
Resource Misalignment
Sales team allocation is significantly misaligned with market TAM. Reallocation will improve win rates and pipeline quality while reducing wasted effort on low-potential segments.

1 What's Limiting Your Territory Growth?

ROOT: Market is growing 1.9% but territory can grow 4-6%
Territory Profile (Southeast example @ $892M TAM):
• Current Revenue: $780M (87% market utilization)
• Current Growth Rate: ~1.9% (market baseline)
• Potential Growth: 3-4x if portfolio optimized
• Untapped TAM: $112M in underserved segments
• Key Bottleneck: Resource allocation misaligned with market opportunity
CAUSE: Data Center segment underweighted in Southeast
Data Center Opportunity in Southeast:
• $1.2B national data center TAM × 12% Southeast allocation = $144M regional opportunity
• Currently capturing only: ~$8M (6% win rate, limited resources)
• Growth rate: +45% annually (vs. 1.9% market)
• Competitors penetrating rapidly (AWS Raleigh, Azure Charlotte expansions)
• Reallocation to data centers could add $18-22M annual revenue
EFFECT: Shift 15% resources to data centers → +$18M revenue + 3% growth
Action Plan to Achieve 3% Growth:
• Move 2-3 existing reps to data center focus
• Hire 2-3 data center specialists
• Develop AWS/Azure/hyperscaler relationships in Southeast
• Capture $15-20M incremental revenue by end of 2026
• Investment Required: $500K (hiring + training)
• Payback Period: 9-12 months
CAUSE: Portfolio concentrated in declining segments
Portfolio Concentration Risks:
• Chemical segment: 45% of revenue, +0.8% growth (below market)
• Refining segment: 30% of revenue, +3.2% growth (good, but mature)
• Commercial: 20% of revenue, +0.5% growth (declining)
• Data Centers: Only 5% of revenue, +45% growth (massive gap)

The Problem: Resources chasing slow-growth segments while high-growth data center market is underserved
SUB-CAUSE: Team lacks expertise in high-growth segments
Capability Gaps:
• Data center sales require technical knowledge (power, cooling, uptime SLAs)
• Pharma compliance requires GMP/cGMP expertise (currently minimal in territory)
• Current team optimized for commodity refinery/chemical work
• Win rates: Data centers 18%, Pharma 22% (vs. Chemical 40%)

Solution: Specialized Squad Model
• Hire 2-3 data center specialists with hyperscaler experience
• Train existing team on high-value segment selling
• Establish partnerships with segment-specific consultants

2 Scenario Comparison: Territory Growth Strategies

Metric Do Nothing (1.9%) Moderate (3.0%) Aggressive (6.0%)
Territory Growth Rate 1.9% 3.0% (+1.1%) 6.0% (+4.1%)
Territory Revenue (Year 1) $795M $809M (+$14M) $827M (+$47M)
Territory TAM Utilization 89.1% 90.7% 92.7%
Data Center Revenue $8M $22M (+$14M) $38M (+$30M)
Pharma Revenue $12M $24M (+$12M) $36M (+$24M)
Required Actions None 2-3 hires + retraining 5-7 hires + squad formation
Investment Required $0 $500K $1.2M
Breakeven Timeline - 12 months 18 months
Recommendation: Moderate-to-Aggressive (4-5%)
The moderate scenario targets 3% growth with 2-3 hires and $500K investment, achieving breakeven in 12 months. The aggressive scenario targets 6% growth but requires 5-7 hires and 18-month payback. We recommend starting at 3% (moderate) with option to accelerate to 4-5% if data center hiring succeeds. This balances ambition with execution risk.

3 Territory TAM Mapping

Quantify your territory's $6.7B TAM allocation by segment:

  • Identify all major industrial facilities in your territory
  • Categorize by segment (refining, chemical, data center, pharma, etc.)
  • Estimate annual scaffolding spend for each facility
  • Calculate total addressable market in your territory
  • Understand white-space opportunities by segment
Territory Opportunity Sizing
Most branch managers don't know their true TAM. This creates blind spots where significant opportunities exist. A complete territory map enables proactive prospecting and resource allocation.

2 Portfolio Analysis

Map current customers to segments:

  • List all active customers with annual contract value
  • Assign each customer to a market segment
  • Calculate percentage of revenue by segment
  • Compare to territory TAM distribution
  • Identify diversification targets and concentration risks
Risk Level Definition Action Required
High Risk >50% revenue from single segment Immediate diversification plan
Medium Risk 35-50% from single segment Strategic expansion into growth segments
Low Risk <35% from any single segment Optimize mix toward high-growth segments

3 Pipeline Audit

Compare pipeline composition to market TAM:

  • Export current pipeline with TIV by segment
  • Calculate pipeline percentage by segment
  • Compare to territory TAM percentage
  • Identify over-indexed segments (reduce effort)
  • Identify under-indexed segments (increase prospecting)
Pipeline Rebalancing
If your pipeline doesn't match market TAM, you're chasing the wrong deals. Reallocate prospecting time to high-TAM, high-growth segments to maximize conversion rates and revenue.

4 Win Rate Reality Check

Analyze win rates by segment:

  • Calculate win rate for each segment (wins / total opportunities)
  • Benchmark against company averages
  • Identify segments where you outperform (double down)
  • Identify segments where you underperform (training needed)
  • Adjust resource allocation to maximize expected value
Segment Target Win Rate Strategic Response
Data Centers 50%+ Invest in technical capabilities and speed
Refining 45%+ Emphasize safety record and turnaround expertise
Pharma/Biotech 45%+ Highlight compliance and clean room protocols
Chemical 40%+ Leverage relationships and process knowledge

5 Growth Target Recalibration

Set 2026 targets at 2-4% growth, not historical rates:

  • Market is growing 1.9% annually (not 8-10%)
  • Adjust branch targets to reflect market reality
  • Outperformance comes from share capture, not market growth
  • Set quarterly milestones with segment-specific goals
  • Track progress against both revenue and market share

1 Why Should You Focus on High-Probability Deals?

ROOT: Most reps chase low-probability deals, losing to better-prioritized competitors
BrandSafway Sales Performance (Current State):
• Average sales rep: 12 deals per month
• Average win rate: 18%
• Deals closed: 2.2 per month
• Time per deal: ~40 hours (many low-value)
• Revenue per deal: $2.5M (wide variance)

The Problem: Equal effort on $200K deals and $10M deals = wasted time
The Opportunity: Focus 70% of time on $500K+ deals → +30-50% revenue
CAUSE: Deals have vastly different profitability profiles
BrandSafway Deal Profiles by Segment:
• Data Center (Large): $8-12M deal value, 50% win rate potential, 12 month cycle
• Refinery Turnaround: $5-8M deal value, 45% win rate potential, 6-9 month cycle
• Pharma Expansion: $2-4M deal value, 40% win rate potential, 9-12 month cycle
• Chemical Facility: $1-2M deal value, 35% win rate potential, 6-8 month cycle
• Commercial (Fragmented): $200K-$500K deal value, 15% win rate, 3-4 month cycle

Expected Value Calculation:
• $10M data center × 50% win = $5M expected value ÷ 12 months = $416K/month
• $300K commercial × 15% win = $45K expected value ÷ 4 months = $11K/month
• Ratio: Data center deal is 38x more valuable per month of effort
EFFECT: Shifting 40% effort from low to high-value = +45% revenue
Current State (Unfocused):
• 12 deals/month: 3 data center, 2 refinery, 3 pharma, 2 chemical, 2 commercial
• Wins: 0.48 data center, 0.36 refinery, 0.48 pharma, 0.35 chemical, 0.15 commercial = 1.82 total
• Revenue: $2.4M + $1.44M + $0.96M + $0.35M + $0.045M = $5.185M/month

Optimized State (Focused on High-Value):
• 9 deals/month focused: 5 data center, 2 refinery, 1 pharma, 1 other
• Wins: 2.5 data center, 0.9 refinery, 0.4 pharma, 0.1 other = 3.9 total
• Revenue: $20M + $7.2M + $0.8M + $0.05M = $28.05M/month
• Increase: +442% revenue (from focused prioritization + higher win rates)
• More realistic improvement: 45-50% from better deal selection alone
SUB-CAUSE: Competitive reps focus on high-value first
Why Competitors Win Large Deals:
• Top performers allocate 70% of time to $500K+ expected value deals
• They say "no" to low-value opportunities quickly
• They develop deep expertise in few high-value segments
• They score each deal rigorously before pursuing

Your Advantage: BrandSafway has better data on deals now
• Market multiplier framework (1.5x data centers, 0.8x commercial)
• Historical win rates by segment
• Cycle time data
• Can use this to beat unfocused competitors

2 Scenario Comparison: Deal Pursuit Strategies

Metric Unfocused (50%) Balanced (75%) Focused (100%)
Deals Pursued per Month 12 9 7
Avg Win Rate 18% 24% 32%
Deals Closed per Month 2.2 2.9 3.8
Avg Deal Size $2.5M $3.8M $5.2M
Monthly Revenue $5.5M $11.0M (+100%) $19.8M (+260%)
Annual Quota $66M $132M $237M
Time per Deal 40 hours 45 hours (larger deals) 50 hours (complex deals)
Quota Attainment (vs 75M goal) 88% 176% 316%
Recommendation: Balanced-to-Focused (75-100%)
Start at 75% (balanced) with a goal to move to 100% (focused) over 6 months. At 75%, you'll achieve 176% of quota by pursuing 9 deals/month of higher quality. At 100%, you exceed quota 3x over by being ruthlessly selective. This requires discipline to say "no" to low-value deals, but the revenue upside is extraordinary.

3 Pipeline Audit & Scoring
