Portfolio Stewardship & Transaction Readiness
Some portfolios are too valuable to abandon, but not active enough to justify full internal focus. That is where drift becomes expensive. Rights lapse for the wrong reasons. Ownership records get messy. Spend continues without a clear realism check. And when a transaction window opens, the estate is harder to diligence and harder to package than it should be.
MIM provides a stewardship model for these transitional estates: keep what matters alive with discipline, prune what does not, and maintain the portfolio in a form that is credible, governable, and transaction-ready.
Who This Is For
CEOs or platform leadership teams managing non-core assets without distraction.
General counsel who need controlled spend and diligence hygiene.
Investors or special-situations teams who need a stewardship plan that preserves upside.
Chief IP counsel who need disciplined maintenance and future-facing packaging.
Common Starting Triggers
We have a non-core estate we do not want to lose, but cannot actively run.

We inherited assets through acquisition or reorganization.
We want to preserve optionality while controlling spend.
