Where is the cash actually going — and can we stop it?
Operational triage, from Day 1.
When the business has weeks of runway, opinions aren't enough. Aria maps the operation in days, ranks the bleeds in dollars, and deploys the agents that close the biggest ones first.

- Rapid operating map
Triage the operation in days.
An operation this fragile can't wait for a six-week diagnostic. Aria delivers a usable map inside the first week — where the cash is bleeding, who knows what, which systems can be trusted.

Close the top bleeds from Day 5.
Aria deploys agents against the largest losses immediately — manual toil, duplicated work, idle tooling — while the strategic calls are still being made. The deployment doesn't wait for the strategy.

How fast can you actually mobilize?
Triage map in the first week. First containment agents deployed by Day 5. We can be at the table inside 72 hours of signed scope.Does this replace the turnaround advisor?
No — it's the operational arm alongside them. The advisor still owns the strategic, capital and stakeholder calls. Aria runs the operational triage and deployment.What if access is restricted?
We work with read-only access initially. Deployment always requires specific authorization per workflow, with full audit trails. Restricted access usually means a narrower scope, not a no-go.How does this hold up under lender scrutiny?
Every decision, sizing and intervention ships with the evidence trail. The work product is designed to stand up in a lender diligence session, not just an internal review.How do you work with the interim CRO or restructuring officer?
Aria is the operational arm; the CRO owns strategic, capital and stakeholder calls. In practice Aria runs the triage, ranks the bleeds, deploys the agents, and ships the documentation the CRO takes into lender and board conversations.What data do you need access to on Day 1?
Read-only access to the systems work runs on — ERP, cash-management, workflow, HRIS. If systems are inaccessible (legacy, offline, air-gapped), Aria can work from extracts. The Day 1 posture is whatever access you can get without a protracted security review.What's the commercial model in a distressed situation?
Flexible — fixed-fee, success-based against declared bleed-closure criteria, or a hybrid structure negotiated against the restructuring plan. Pricing is not the blocker in a distressed scope.
