Two weeks. Five pillars. One verdict.

We put numbers on what AI is doing to your multiple. Where it lifts. Where it leaks. What a buyer will flag in DD. Built for SaaS founders 12 to 24 months from exit, and the PE and VC investors stress-testing a thesis.

Five Pillars

What we score, and why a buyer cares.

Each pillar is scored 0 to 20. Together they map to an indicative multiple impact. The framework is the same one PE-backed buyers use when they put your AI under the loupe.

i

Revenue Resilience

Is your revenue more sticky or more replaceable because of AI. Retention, expansion, concentration risk.

"Will this revenue survive when an AI-native competitor enters the category?"

ii

Defensibility & Moat

What is hard to copy. Data, distribution, workflow lock-in, switching costs.

"If a competitor wraps GPT around the same problem, what stops them?"

iii

AI Economics

The unit economics of every AI feature. Cost-to-serve, gross margin contribution, scaling curve.

"Does this margin hold at scale or does it erode with usage?"

iv

Operational Leverage

Is AI cutting OPEX or hiding it in tool spend. Measured against headcount benchmarks from the AVI.

"Are you running leaner because of AI, or just spending differently?"

v

Governance & Deal Readiness

Model risk, IP, data licensing, vendor dependency. The items that show up on every DD checklist.

"What gets flagged in our legal and technical review?"

How It Works

Two weeks. Diagnosis, then plan.

WEEK 01 · DISCOVERY

We find the leaks.

We meet your team, understand the AI footprint, run the diagnostic across every pillar. Document review, technical walkthrough, financial cross-check. Output: scored scorecard with confidence levels.

WEEK 02 · SYNTHESIS

We write the plan that closes them.

We map your scores to indicative valuation impact, prioritise the gaps that move the multiple most, and write a six-month roadmap you can act on. Final readout to founders or board.

What You Get

Concrete deliverables, not slideware.

The scorecard, scored. Individual pillar scores out of 20, total out of 100, with confidence bands per dimension.
Multiple-mapping memo. How your scores translate to indicative revenue multiple impact, benchmarked against the AI Value Index.
The six-month plan. The handful of gaps that actually move the multiple, sequenced by impact and dependency.
Re-score at 90 days. Re-score on key pillars after three months. See if the work has moved the needle.
