Is this AI use case priced into multiples yet?
For your sector and function, what value lift do operators report, and how is that showing up in recent deal pricing.
Our Working Asset · By Walkthrough
The benchmark behind every call we make.
200+ AI deployments scored on the value they actually moved. The evidence layer behind every Advisory and Exit Readiness engagement we run. You get the entries that map to your case, walked through live, in 45 minutes.
What The Index Answers
Specific questions, not generic AI maturity.
The Index is built to answer the questions that show up in board decks, investment committees, and DD checklists. A few examples of what we pull for a typical walkthrough.
Build, buy, or partner?
Comparable deployments at companies your size, with the path they chose and the margin impact 12 months later.
Where is your competitor really at?
Anonymised entries that match the profile of named peers. Useful for thesis testing without naming names in the room.
What does an honest ROI look like?
Real percentage lifts on the metric that matters, with confidence bands and the rolled-back cases included. No vendor marketing.
What does a buyer want to see?
The deployment depth, governance, and economics that show up as plus or minus on a DD scorecard.
Where is the cliff?
Deployments that looked good at 6 months and broke at 12. Pattern analysis on what predicted the rollback.
How It Works
Three steps, about a week.
i. Context
You tell us where you sit
One paragraph by email is enough. Sector, function, what you are trying to figure out, and by when. We respond within 48 hours.
ii. Prep
We pull the relevant entries
Usually 5 to 15 from the Index that map to your case. We add a one-page summary of what the data says, including the parts that contradict each other.
iii. Walkthrough
45-minute working session
Screen-shared, live. Arno and Christan run the session together. You ask questions, we answer with the data. You take notes. We send the one-pager after.
Ground Rules
What we share, and what we don't.
What you get
Context-specific entries, scored on six dimensions. Multiple impact ranges. Pattern observations across the matched set. A one-page summary you can put in front of a board or IC.
What we never share
Raw export of the Index. Named companies. Source-level confidentials. The Index is a working asset, not a deliverable.
Who this is for
SaaS founders 12 to 24 months from exit. PE and VC investors testing a thesis. Operators scoping an AI investment that needs board sign-off.
