Evidence before calculation
Documents create observations, not instant truth. The workflow keeps source-extracted, owner-confirmed, reviewer-supported, reconciled, conflicted, and missing states distinct.
- Preserve the sourceImmutable file identity and exact page/region or sheet/cell coordinate.
- Publish an observationRaw and normalized value, method, confidence metadata, and warnings.
- Compare and reviewAgreement, differences, corrections, and remaining gaps stay visible.
- Pin an accepted snapshotOnly current reviewed dependencies can enter a deterministic calculation.
A bridge, not a black-box score.
The implemented local-full financial picture keeps reported revenue, adjustments, normalized earnings, SDE, and adjusted EBITDA bridges separate. Every included item expands back to evidence and a versioned rule. Missing policy or unresolved material evidence blocks the output instead of creating a default.
Same pinned input, same disclosed result
Formulas and transformations are versioned. Language models cannot supply authoritative amounts, coefficients, or silent conflict resolution.
Readiness analysis, not a valuation
The authenticated local-full seller workflow can produce evidence-linked financial bridges and side-by-side deal mechanics after required review is resolved. It does not produce a valuation, recommended price, offer, marketplace listing, or expected-proceeds forecast.
Exactly three mechanics, presented equally.
Terms change timing, conditions, and exposure. The product is designed to show three structures together with the same visual weight and disclosure depth. No structure is labeled best or recommended.
Fixed cash-to-seller
Fixed consideration with cash-at-close and funding assumptions kept explicit.
Fixed hybrid seller note
Cash plus a fixed note with term, rate, schedule, and seller credit exposure.
Contingent look-back
Formula-based payments with cohort, period, conditions, cap, and floor disclosed.
Readiness is an evidence-backed action plan.
Factors must state whether available evidence helps, hurts, is mixed, or is unknown; how strong the evidence is; and whether the owner can influence it. Actions cover 0–12 and 13–24 months with completion evidence. Unsupported dollar uplift and outcome guarantees are excluded.
