Discovery Valuation

90 minutes. One number.
The truth about your equity.

Final 15 min

Valuation & Projection

Current valuation range presented using real-time NAICS-coded industry multiples. Scenario Mode projects the 36-month enterprise value if the top three engines are addressed.

What You Walk Away With

The gap between where you are and where you could be.

  • Current enterprise valuation range based on real-time NAICS multiples
  • Quality Score across all 10 value engines
  • 36-month projected enterprise value if top engines are addressed
  • Concrete ROI projection (e.g., "$144K advisory investment → $6.5M projected value increase")
  • Identified equity gap in dollar terms
  • Clear next steps if there is mutual fit

Scenario Mode

The system calculates projected valuation increases based on realistic operational improvements, providing a clear roadmap and value justification for the engagement.

This is the moment the prospect sees the gap between their current value and their potential value — in concrete dollar terms.
