Part 01

The verdict

Kill sheet

Green, yellow, or red on one page. Readable in two minutes.

Business health score

One score out of 100 and a letter grade, with a plain-English reason.

Category grades

Each area of the business graded A to D on what the file shows.

Part 02

The earnings

Earnings bridges

From reported profit to supported earnings and to EBITDA. Every row adds down.

Recast P&L across years

The years laid side by side so they compare like-for-like.

Add-back matrix

Each claimed add-back, the document behind it, and whether it holds up.

Listing versus the books

Each claim in the listing or CIM set against the filed numbers.

Part 03

Debt

Debt-like items

Items often treated as debt at closing, named for the LOI.

Working capital sketch

Shown only when monthly balance sheets are uploaded.

Customer concentration

Who the business depends on, when a customer list or sales report is uploaded.

Part 04

Price and structure

Opening offer range

A starting range computed from supported earnings. Not a valuation.

Good, better, best structures

Three deal structure ideas that fit how you plan to pay.

Part 05

What to do next

Our read

Plain-English guidance on how healthy the business is and where the real risk sits.

Next steps in due diligence

What to confirm next, in order, and the documents to request. A short owner-call list is included.

PDF report and Excel workbook

Download both. Share with a partner, lender, or CPA.

Free re-runs

Add more files and rebuild the screen at no charge.

Goes deeper when the file does

Tax returns, P&L, and balance sheet run the core screen. Monthly P&Ls, customer lists, bank statements, a general ledger, aging reports, and debt schedules unlock more pages, at the same price. Pages without supporting files are marked as not run, never filled in.

$199 a screen.

Screens never expire.

Screening analysis only. Not an audit, attestation, or valuation. Not lender-ready.
