Value Creation Initiatives (That aren't add-ons)

I'm at a shop where the majority of a platform's success is contingent on acquiring EBITDA and multiple arb. Not the most exciting strategy compared to investment ideas that are more opportunistic and thematic, but nonetheless generates returns. Curious to hear if folks on this forum are underwriting more complex value creation scenarios that aren't strictly contingent on add-ons.
