Take 1-minute to help me fine-tune my valuation calculator?

I’ve built a simple business valuation calculator designed for small business owners to quickly estimate a high, low, and likely sale price based on a few but specific key inputs. It’s geared toward smaller businesses, typically under $5M in purchase price — with most falling closer to $1M PP, based on my market.
If you have a minute, I’d be incredibly grateful if you could run a quick test using one of your past acquisitions, a deal you're reviewing, or even a hypothetical example. I’d love your quick feedback — does it feel accurate? Useful?

Note 1: No email capture or any marketing nonsense to use the calculator. I want this to be an open resource because I wasn't able to find one online outside of spreadsheets.
Note 2: It is a little clunky to use on mobile. I haven't figured out a good way to fix this unfortunately. Desktop & tablet should work smoothly.
