Approximately 60 percent of evaluated targets are eliminated at the early review stage on governance and cultural alignment grounds before financial modelling begins. This is not a standard ESG scoring overlay applied to a conventional due diligence process. It is a foundational compatibility assessment that asks specific structural questions: Can this organization's governance culture support a distribution model that treats human capital as an equal claimant on financial outcomes? Is leadership willing to encode executive compensation limits in legally binding documents rather than expressing them as policies subject to revision? Does the institutional culture support the operational transparency that the SAVI Capital Model's reporting architecture requires?
The answers to those questions determine whether financial analysis is warranted. A company that cannot sustain the model's governance requirements will not generate the organizational quality that justifies the model's return thesis, regardless of its financial profile. This sequence, governance assessment before financial analysis, is not ideological. It is architectural. The model's return thesis depends on organizational quality. Organizational quality depends on governance compatibility. Governance compatibility must therefore be established first.
