Integrated Decision Intelligence (IDI)

Integrated Decision Intelligence™ (IDI) Where Data Meets Discipline

In today’s complex M&A environment, instinct alone isn’t enough. Success depends on the ability to make faster, smarter, and more defensible decisions—supported by real data, not guesswork.

Integrated Decision Intelligence™ (IDI) is accretive’s proprietary decision framework that combines data science, behavioral insight, and managerial rigor to guide every critical move in your transaction journey.

What IDI Is

IDI transforms how founders, owners, and leadership teams make high-stakes decisions by connecting information, analysis, and human judgment in a single, cohesive system.

It’s not just analytics. It’s a full decision architecture built to:

  • Integrate financial, operational, and market data into one truth source
  • Apply predictive and prescriptive analytics to evaluate scenarios and outcomes
  • Visualize complexity through real-time dashboards and modeling tools
  • Quantify risk, forecast performance, and recommend the optimal course of action

At its core, IDI equips founders to move from reactive to strategic decision-making confidence.

The IDI Advantage

By embedding Integrated Decision Intelligence™ into our M&A and Deal Readiness engagements, accretive gives clients a measurable advantage across the deal lifecycle.

Enhanced Decision Quality

Increased Transaction Success Rate

Value Maximization

According to accretive benchmarks, incorporating IDI typically produces 5–10% higher realized deal value—adding between $4.9 million and $22.3 million on deals ranging from $50M–$150M, even after accounting for IDI advisory costs.

Why It Matters

Traditional M&A decision-making often fails because it’s based on fragmented data, bias, and rushed analysis.
IDI changes that by giving leaders:

  • Visibility: A single source of truth for all decision data.
  • Velocity: Faster analysis, scenario testing, and confidence in outcomes.
  • Validity: Every recommendation backed by defensible logic and quantifiable impact.

By applying IDI discipline, accretive reduces the “unknowns” that derail deals, and replaces uncertainty with precision.
