Tools
Interactive tools that turn how a business is run into what it is worth. Free to use, and grounded in how buyers actually price an owner-led business.
Enterprise value & readiness
Start with the whole-business view: what it's worth today, and how ready it is to sell.
Enterprise value
Two businesses with the same EBITDA can be worth very different amounts. Estimate yours across fifteen value drivers, see the discount the business is carrying, and which drivers move the number most.
Open the calculator →Exit readiness
Score your business across the seven areas a buyer examines, and see how ready you are to sell and roughly how long the work would take to close the gaps.
Score your readiness →Strategy to execution
Turn a plan into value in the accounts: what each initiative is worth, and where execution leaks.
Strategy to execution
What is your improvement plan actually worth? Value each initiative, net the cost and capex, add the risk-reduction that lifts your multiple, and see the enterprise value it creates, and how much is still only a promise.
Value your plan →Strategy to execution
A good plan can still deliver nothing. Score your business across the six points where strategy leaks value on the way to execution, and see where the biggest gap between decision and result is today.
Find your drift →Strategy to execution
Does your plan connect, top to bottom? Build the chain from goal to economic target to drivers, key results, KPIs and owned, valued initiatives, and the tool checks every link and shows exactly where the chain breaks.
Check your cascade →Planning & thinking
Build a logical framework: goal, outcome, outputs and activities, each with an indicator, a source to verify it, and the assumptions it depends on. The tool flags the leaps of faith, and you can download the finished one-pager.
Build your logframe →Strategy to execution
Rank your backlog of ideas on nine weighted factors, seven that push an idea up and two that push it down. The tool ranks them and flags the quick wins and live risks that should jump the queue whatever the score says.
Rank your backlog →Strategy to execution
List the few things your industry rewards, rate how critical each is and your current-versus-target capability, and see your gaps re-ranked by criticality, so a small gap on a critical factor beats a large gap on one that barely matters.
Rank your gaps →Earnings quality
The number a buyer actually trusts: how much drops to EBITDA, and how much of it becomes cash.
Pricing
A small price rise costs nothing to deliver, so nearly all of it drops to EBITDA and multiplies into enterprise value. See what a rise is worth, and how much volume you could afford to lose.
Open the calculator →Earnings quality
How much of your reported EBITDA actually becomes cash, and where the gap goes: working capital, capex, tax and financing. Builds the bridge a buyer runs before they trust your number.
Open the converter →Operating model
The whole business on one scale, then decomposed into activities, so you can find where improvement pays most.
Operating model
Score the seven weighted domains of business health, mark which scores you can evidence, and see your weighted health, your biggest weighted opportunity (commercial carries the most weight), and your likely blind spots.
Score your business →Operating model
Map your business as a value chain and rate each activity on six dimensions. The tool finds your hotspot, where a big capability gap sits on something important, valuable and risky, and shows the maths behind it.
Find your hotspot →Operating model
Sort your drivers into the three kinds: levers you pull, outcomes you watch, and constraints that cap everything else. The tool finds your quick wins and the constraints worth relieving or routing around.
Sort your drivers →Market & competition
Where you actually stand against the field, and whether your position is coherent, different, both or neither.
Market & competition
Score your business and your rivals across the five domains of competitive strength, peer-relative. See where you trail parity, what each gap costs, and whether your position is coherent, differentiated, both or neither.
Score your position →Customer & value proposition
Whether your offer relieves the pains and creates the gains your customers actually care about.
Customer & value proposition
Map a segment's pains and gains, mark what your offer genuinely addresses, and get a coverage-based fit score that counts only the pains and gains that matter, with the ones you leave open named.
Measure your fit →Risk & dependency
The reliance that quietly discounts the multiple: on you, and on your largest customers.
Dependency
A ten-question self-assessment of how much the business still depends on you, scored, with an estimate of what that reliance is costing your enterprise value.
Take the assessment →Revenue risk
See how exposed you are if a big customer leaves. Because fixed costs stay, losing one large account takes far more off EBITDA than off revenue.
Check your exposure →People & leadership
Whether the right people are in the right seats, on two tests most owners collapse into one gut call.
People & leadership
Score each leader on two independent tests: do they share your values (the right person), and can they do the role, well, and want to (the right seat). See who to keep and invest in, who's in the wrong chair, and where the hard values calls sit.
Score your team →Checklists & guides
