Benefit tracking for restructuring & turnaround
adentro Mensura holds the measures of a restructuring programme, their financial impact and their implementation status in one place — from the workstream through the initiative down to the single measure, with the effect on EBITDA and on cash, maturity gates and named owners. Setting up a programme takes a few minutes.
For advisory firms in restructuring and turnaround. Hosted in Switzerland.
The management dashboard, as it appears on the wall of the steering committee.
Why Mensura
Exactly the ones that matter once the programme is running.
adentro Mensura knows the vocabulary of the German restructuring standard out of the box: measures, EBITDA and cash impact, implementation status, cost to achieve, workforce measures. They are the model itself, not a field somebody renamed.
Create or import the structure, create or import and invite the users, set the access rights — and the first initiative is there. No implementation project before the project.
Presentation mode shows the status report, the progress and the impact bridge straight from the data — on the screen in the steering committee, with the position as of a minute ago rather than as of the last slide.
Every page follows the same pattern: the same filter bar, the same cards, the same editing window. Whoever can work one page can work them all — including the client's own staff, who have two hours for a new tool and not two days.
adentro Mensura keeps its reporting snapshots instead of overwriting them. Progress is measured against last month's position, not against memory — and what moved between two meetings can be shown rather than asserted.
Visibility is granted per programme, per unit and per initiative, deputies included. Confidential initiatives and workforce lines stay within their circle, and every change is on the record — who changed what, and when.
How the numbers work
An ordinary project is measured by scope and deadline: plant built, system live, budget held. A restructuring programme is measured by financial targets — by earnings and by cash, in the amount planned and at the time planned. Project management does not get you there. It takes benefit tracking that follows every measure all the way into the P&L line.
Mensura does not replace a BI tool such as Power BI or LucaNet, and does not want to. Your reporting stays where it is; Mensura runs the delta that flows into it.
And what counts is decided at a gate.
A reported saving is not yet a saving. Every measure passes through six stages, and each one is a gate with evidence somebody has to produce — not a tick box somebody fills in. This is not a distinguishing feature; it is the minimum a professional benefit tracking has to do. What is remarkable is how often it is missing.
Reporting starts at IL3. Anything below sits in the list but not in the figure that goes to the banks and the shareholders. That makes it answerable at any time how solid a programme is — not "two hundred measures", but how much of the result rests on measures that have cleared a gate. And from the first IL3 approval the initiative's number is fixed, so that reports stay comparable from month to month.
And the measure list in Excel?
That is the honest comparison — not the BI tool. A workbook can do everything at the start. By the third reporting month it is missing three things that cannot be retrofitted.
Where it comes from
Behind adentro Mensura is a handful of former Roland Berger restructuring consultants who have accompanied a great many turnarounds over decades — in German-speaking mandates as much as in international programmes spanning several entities and countries.
So it was designed by people who wrote the status report themselves, kept the measure list themselves, and stood in the steering committee themselves explaining why last week's number was a different one. The current pilot programme is accompanied by one of the leading international strategy consultancies.
Who it is for
For teams running restructuring and turnaround mandates — lender driven, along IDW S6 or an equivalent standard, under time pressure and with an obligation to report to shareholders and banks.
Features
Workstream, initiative, measure — with owners, dates and the reporting entity they belong to. Every line has somebody's name on it.
The effect on EBITDA and the effect on cash kept apart, including one-off effects and cost to achieve. Whoever reports a saving says which P&L line it comes out of.
Every maturity stage asks for evidence, not a tick. Only what has cleared IL3 enters the reported figure; from approval onwards the initiative's number is fixed.
FTE reduction and personnel cost kept properly apart, with severance, garden leave and their timing. Sensitive lines only for the circle allowed to see them.
The working surface: one measure and what it contributes.
Operations and security
adentro Mensura runs on Google Cloud in the Zurich data centre. Other operating models — your own environment, a sovereign European cloud — on request.
Username and password — or single sign-on through Google or Microsoft Entra, that is with your firm's own accounts, from size M upwards. Further identity providers in the enterprise package on request.
Certification to ISO 27001 is scheduled for October 2026. Until it is issued we name it as an intention, not as a seal.
The application speaks German, English, French and Italian — in a programme spanning several countries that is not a luxury.
