Synergy model template for M&A (revenue, cost, one-time)

Builds a synergy model structure with assumptions, timing, and one-time costs, plus a tracking plan. Useful for integration planning and deal thesis validation.

Design an M&A synergy model for acquisition of {target_name} by {buyer_name}.

Inputs:
- Synergy hypotheses: {synergy_hypotheses}
- Timing assumptions: {timing_assumptions}
- One-time integration costs: {integration_costs}
- Baseline cost structures: {baseline_costs}
- Revenue cross-sell assumptions: {revenue_synergies}
- Realization risk factors: {risk_factors}

Output:
1) Synergy model layout (by category and month/quarter).
2) Assumptions register and approval workflow.
3) Net synergy bridge (gross synergy less one-time costs) and NPV (if rate provided).
4) Post-close tracking dashboard and owner assignments.

Keep categories concrete and measurable.
