Our Services
Old York Ratings
Forensic Enterprise Validation We provide principal-led, forensic evaluations of corporate durability and capital integrity. Unlike traditional agencies, our ratings are built on the Old York Protocol, stripping away GAAP accounting artifacts to reveal true owner earnings and structural moats. We offer both unsolicited public benchmarks and formal solicited mandates for entities seeking to validate their operational quality against global industry leaders.
Old york Advisory
Strategic Capital & Structural Forensics Direct, principal-to-principal advisory for public and private enterprises. We specialize in "the plumbing" of the business, analyzing unit economics, capital allocation efficiency, and the integrity of corporate shells. We don't sell "advice" from a consultant’s manual; we provide the forensic roadmap used by our own capital partners to identify vulnerabilities and engineer long-term durability.
Old York Capital Partners
Buffett-Style Principal Mandates The engine of the Old York ecosystem. We operate private invite only investment partnerships focused on high-conviction, long-term positions in "Fortress" and "Sovereign" grade assets. Operating without management fees, our interests are entirely aligned with the capital we deploy. We act as a principal, not an agent or a portfolio manager, seeking out-sized durability and compounding through the same forensic rigor we apply to our ratings.
