Deal Analyses

What a smart buyer sees in a listing — and what questions they ask before going further.

These are analyses of closed public listings. We work only with information visible to any buyer browsing the marketplace. The point is not to evaluate the deal — it is to show what rigorous screening looks like before you ever request financials.
