The full story.
1. Situation & Challenges
Hendrik Rathje is a partner in the consulting division at Möhrle Happ Luther, focusing on M&A, Transaction Advisory Services, and company valuations.
Before using StrategyBridge AI, the team primarily worked with S&P Capital IQ. Research, competitor analyses, and benchmarks were largely built manually.
This was particularly time-consuming for mid-sized companies and niche markets. Identifying suitable peer groups required multiple iterations through industry codes, business descriptions, and filter logic.
Key challenges included:
High manual research effort
Difficult identification of suitable competitors
Time-intensive benchmarks, especially in early project phases
Risk of overlooking relevant comparable companies
A clear bottleneck in time-critical situations
2. Use & Impact (Afterwards)
Today, the team uses StrategyBridge AI as an integral part of their analysis work.
The main use case is company valuation. StrategyBridge AI is used to identify peer groups, analyze historical developments, and test the plausibility of future assumptions.
Other specific applications include:
Credit analyses, e.g., assessing corporate tenants in the real estate context
One-pagers for quick decision-making
Longlists in sales processes
Industry and market analyses on the buyer side, including Hawkeye reports
The impact is clear:Where previously at least a full workday was required, analyses now usually take just one to two hours.
The quality of results has remained at least the same, and in many cases, even improved. Additionally, results can be specifically validated and adjusted to refine peer groups accurately.
