What problem does it solve? Founders often need a credible estimate of what their business is worth for a raise, exit conversation, or internal decision, but cannot justify the cost of a formal appraisal for every scenario. This Skill produces a defensible indicative valuation range by applying market transaction multiples to the company's own financials. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multi-Method Triangulation: Computes value under revenue, EBITDA, net income, and SDE multiple methods, then reports a range and an indicated average value. - Earnings Normalization: Derives EBIT, EBITDA, and SDE from raw P&L fields, including explicit owner compensation and one-time add-back adjustments. - Margin-Story Diagnostics: Compares revenue-multiple and EBITDA-multiple estimates to detect margin gaps and flag value-driver improvement opportunities. - Use Case: A founder of an $8M consumer-goods company asks what the business would sell for; the Skill computes EBITDA of $1.0M, applies comparable multiples, and returns an indicated value of roughly $7.7M with a $7.2M–$8.4M range and an escalation flag for a professional appraiser. ## Quick Start Estimate what my business is worth using my trailing twelve-month revenue, expenses, and owner compensation, and give me a value range with the methods used.
