Advisory services

Independent oversight for the full materials program.

MIA helps manufacturers establish the facts, improve control, hold vendors accountable, and protect the value of recoverable materials. The work follows one client path: review the program, manage the priorities, and recover extraordinary value when the evidence supports it.

Independence

Clear roles. Clear compensation.

MIA does not blur advisory, brokerage, or representative roles. Each commercial role is documented separately, compensation is disclosed, and any overlapping economic interest requires written client approval.

The client path

Three core services, in the order they are usually needed.

Core service 01

Material Integrity Review

A defined 30–60 day engagement that establishes the facts before any major vendor, pricing, or contract decision.

The Review evaluates material flows and grades, pricing and weights, settlements, vendor performance, contracts, market competitiveness, and internal controls. It produces a documented baseline, a prioritized risk register, quantified opportunities, executive findings, and a 30–60 day action plan.

How the Review Works

Core service 02

Material Integrity Management

Ongoing manufacturer-side oversight for organizations that need continued governance and implementation support.

Management gives your organization a dedicated advisor on the manufacturer's side of the table, month after month, so corrected terms stay corrected and vendor performance stays measured.

Value Recovery

Documentation and support when the Review surfaces extraordinary, previously unknown financial loss.

Where evidence supports it, MIA documents the commercial issue and supports the client's recovery process under a separate written agreement. Examples include potential underpayments, unauthorized deductions, missing loads, contract discrepancies, internal leakage, and control failures. Legal, forensic, investigative, and employment matters are referred to appropriate professionals.

Missing loads and unexplained variance
Contract discrepancies
Internal leakage and control failures
Separate written agreement, disclosed in advance
