That's one of the biggest lessons I've learned reviewing acquisition opportunities. A deal can support debt service and still create significant buyer risk. The screenshots below are from a sample deal analyzed through Acquisition Decision Engine (ADE). ADE concluded: Proceed with caution. The business appeared financeable under first-pass SBA assumptions. But it also raised concerns around: • declining revenue • revenue durability • owner dependence • transition execution risk • unverified add-backs • SBA prequalification assumptions • buyer readiness That's the gap ADE is designed to address. Most tools focus on valuation. Most brokers focus on marketing. Most buyers focus on opportunity. ADE focuses on helping buyers identify what deserves deeper scrutiny before LOI and before lender conversations. The goal is simple: Kill bad deals faster. Spend more time on opportunities that survive scrutiny. ADE is currently free to try for a limited time and includes 3 free deal analysis credits for new users. 👉 redacted If you've got a live deal, an old CIM, or an acquisition opportunity you're considering, now is a good time to put it through the platform while free access is available. More importantly, I'd like your feedback. The goal isn't to build another acquisition calculator. The goal is to build a tool that helps buyers avoid expensive mistakes. Your feedback directly shapes what gets improved next. The screenshots below show the type of output ADE generates today.redactedredacted
