Fund Base + Per-Company

No complex fee matrix. The fund base covers GP-level infrastructure. The per-company fee activates full BLUE deployment at each acquisition. Two numbers. No tiering at the company level.

Portfolio Count Is the Only Variable

Every portfolio company receives the same deployment — 9 senior roles, 58 sub-agents — regardless of company size, specialty, or revenue. The variable is how many companies are in the portfolio, not how much infrastructure each one gets.

Annual Commitment

COBALT engagements are annual commitments. The fund base runs for the life of the fund relationship. Per-company fees are active for the duration of each portfolio company's hold period. No month-to-month ambiguity.

Pricing Structure
Fund base + per company. That's it.
Two components. Transparent structure. No hidden fees, no scope creep charges, no facility-type tiers at the portfolio company level.

How pricing scales with the portfolio.

ROI Framework
The alternative is more expensive.
Compared to building per-company internal ops teams or engaging traditional consultants per acquisition, COBALT's per-company rate delivers institutional-grade infrastructure at a fraction of the cost of the alternatives.

vs. Building Internal Teams Per Company

A Compliance Officer, Revenue Cycle Director, and Clinical Operations Director at a single portfolio company represents $450K–$700K in annual compensation alone — before benefits, overhead, and the six months it takes to hire them. COBALT deploys all 9 roles on day one for $150K/year per company.

vs. Per-Company Consulting Engagements

Healthcare compliance and revenue cycle consulting engagements at portfolio companies typically run $15K–$50K per engagement — per company, per issue. COBALT provides continuous institutional-grade coverage across compliance, revenue cycle, clinical ops, technology, and finance for $12,500/mo per company.

Revenue Cycle Recovery

BLUE's revenue integrity and RCM functions typically identify 3–8% of annual revenue in underpayments, claim denials, and coding inaccuracies within the first 90 days of deployment. At a $50M revenue portfolio company, that's $1.5M–$4M in recoverable revenue — multiples of the annual COBALT fee.

Exit Multiple Enhancement

Clean compliance programs, optimized revenue cycles, and documented operational infrastructure command higher EBITDA multiples at exit. Healthcare PE buyers pay a premium for platform companies that demonstrate institutional-grade operations — the same standard COBALT maintains from day one.

Engagement Terms
How engagements work.

Annual Commitment — Fund Base

The fund base is an annual commitment for the fund relationship. It runs from engagement start and renews annually. The fund base covers GP-level infrastructure for the duration of the fund's active management period.

Per-Company Activation & Deactivation

Per-company fees activate at acquisition close and deactivate at exit close. New acquisitions can be added to COBALT within 30 days of close. Exits are addressed at the next annual renewal unless the portfolio company is fully exited mid-term.

No Tiers at the Company Level

Every portfolio company receives full BLUE deployment at the same per-company rate. There are no light versions, no reduced-scope options, and no tiering by company size or revenue. Full institutional infrastructure. Every acquisition. Every time.

Implementation

A one-time implementation fee applies at fund engagement start. Implementation covers fund onboarding, GP infrastructure configuration, first portfolio company deployment, and BAA execution. Per-company add-ons are activations, not new implementations — they deploy in 2–3 weeks.
