The right decision is worth millions.
The wrong one costs more, every year, for decades.
Thompson Capital Strategies guides operators through site, plant, transaction and mission decisions, with a bench of principals who have run these operations, analysis you can defend to your board, and a written finding before a dollar is committed.
Principals who have run the operations they now advise.
Nine principals. Between them: a bank chief executive, a building-materials senior executive, a pharmaceutical chief executive, a federal aviation program director, an avionics executive, two U.S. Army military intelligence professionals and an SIOR-designated industrial broker licensed in five states. Each holds a senior operating role in the sector they advise, and reads a plan the way an operator reads it.

Six disciplines.
One accountable partner.
Each practice stands alone or plugs into a full engagement, from the first feasibility question to the last milestone. Every finding lands on one of three answers: feasible, feasible with conditions, or not feasible.
Site and building feasibility against your operating model: labor, logistics, utilities, entitlements and total cost, validated before you commit, not after. Incentives negotiated as part of the case, never as the reason to choose a site. Then acquisition, disposition and repositioning.
Explore site selectionProcess capability studies, statistical process control and workflow analysis. We find where scrap, rework, downtime and expedited freight are eating margin, remove the assignable variation, and hand the chart to your line.
Explore operating performanceTransaction feasibility and integration-risk assessment, buy-side target screening, sell-side positioning, operational and commercial diligence, and a post-close plan with owners and dates.
Explore M&AMarket and financial feasibility with an explicit downside case, market-entry and adjacency evaluation, capital-structure sequencing, and organizational design against the growth plan, not the org chart.
Explore strategic planningChannel and go-to-market feasibility, positioning for regulated and institutional buyers (hospitals, airports, primes, agencies) and pursuit strategy for named government and enterprise accounts.
Explore market strategyMission feasibility, diplomatic security support, protective services and specialty transportation of sensitive personnel, cargo and controlled materials, for authorized government customers and their prime contractors, under the licensing that governs the work.
Explore mission servicesTell us about the project. We’ll tell you if we can help, including “you don’t need us for this.” Two conversations to a straight answer.

Built to test the plan,
then to see it through.
A disciplined five-stage sequence (Assess, Feasibility, Scope, Execute, Transition) with a written finding at the center and an exit condition at every stage. You see every assumption, every weight, every trade-off. When the answer is feasible, the principal who wrote the finding leads the mandate: as an advisor with a defined scope and end date, or as an operating partner inside your business with compensation tied to the milestones we were brought in to hit.
A study that ends at “not feasible” has done its job. If you are facing a location, operating or transaction decision you have not yet committed to, request a confidential consultation. A principal replies within two business days.

you probably want to know…
How the firm takes on work, who pays, and what happens when the answer is no.
Our clients pay us. No commissions, referral fees or success fees from communities, utilities, brokers, developers or counterparties; the analysis has exactly one master: your outcome. We do not provide capital, arrange financing or underwrite transactions, and we do not list or broker property. A finding that stops a project is a complete deliverable, not a failed one.
Before the project becomes public and before you contact any state, community, seller or counterparty. Leverage comes from credible alternatives; once your preference is known, it is gone. The right moment is when the plan exists on paper and nobody outside the company has tested it.
A written finding, feasible, feasible with conditions, or not feasible, on a date fixed at the outset, with the cost, schedule, regulatory path and operating assumptions behind it, and the conditions that would change the answer. Board-ready: written to be acted on, not filed.
Principals on every engagement. No hand-offs. The person who scopes the question writes the finding and, if the answer is feasible, leads the execution. Specialist support is brought in under that principal, never in place of them.
A site-selection consultant is paid to find you a location. A broker is paid when the deal closes. We are paid to tell you whether the location, the plan or the deal will work once your operation is inside it. Where a site decision is part of the question, we run the screening and negotiate the incentives as part of the operating case, not as the reason to pick a site.
Projects run under code names. Inquiries to states, utilities, owners and counterparties are made in our name, not yours, until you choose to be disclosed. Active projects are insulated from outside pressure; if you need discretion, that is a feature of this firm, not an accident.
Authorized government customers and their prime contractors. Defense and security work is performed only under the registration, licensing and approval requirements that govern it, including ITAR registration and case-by-case authorization where applicable. We assess mission feasibility before any commitment and decline work we cannot support lawfully.
Tell us about the project. We’ll tell you if we can help.
First consultations are free, confidential and candid.
