Deal Screener

Présentation

Paste the listing and ask it to screen the deal. It returns: • A score out of 100 shown with an explicit confidence level. A high score on thin information is not a good deal, it is an unexamined one, so the two always appear together and the dimensions it could not assess are named.• The add-back schedule graded line by line — clean, challenge or reject — using the seller's own wording.• An earnings ladder from the earnings as reported down to what a buyer actually underwrites, and the multiple the asking price implies at each rung.• Whether the debt services at the terms you give it.• Exactly what information is missing, why it matters, and the question to ask for it. Two follow-on tools carry the deal forward. Seller questions builds a sequenced call plan in three stages — screen, account, test — and deliberately holds the sharp, deal-specific questions to the last stage, because challenging an owner before you have their full account contaminates the account. Diligence checklist builds a tiered request list (desk, confirmatory, full) that adapts to the business: recurring revenue adds cohort work, a platform dependency adds that platform's account history, customer concentration adds the contract. Each item says why it matters and what a bad answer sounds like. How it handles numbers: it never states a figure it cannot derive from what you supplied. It does not quote market multiples. If a figure would have to be guessed — what it costs to replace the owner, the rate a lender will offer — the line stays blank and says what to find out. Limitations: it is a desk screen built only from what you share, not advice and not a substitute for diligence on real books. It does not fetch listings, read files on its own or verify anything against bank statements or tax returns. Who built it: Kautilya, a buy-side advisor that finds businesses for buyers.
