Value drivers
Top fixes, priced
Illustrative figures for an example business. In the product, every figure is shown with what it is based on.
A free calculator hands you a number and stops. A buyer arrives with reasons. So the work is naming which metric holds the multiple down, what it costs in dollars, and how to fix it before diligence starts.
A defensible range and the implied multiple, priced against real closed deals — not a multiple you read on X.
Which metrics drive the number up and which drag it down, each one named and quantified in dollars.
The red flags a buyer will use to negotiate you down, ranked by dollars off your valuation, each with the fix.
The memorandum acquirers ask for, plus an anonymized listing to buyers — with no commission on the outcome.

The difference on your only exit

Deal Listing
Ninety days of your anonymized metrics on the Acquirer List — held off sale until that list passes 25 buyers. It is at 1, and we print the number rather than take the money.
One-time purchases only. No subscription, no success fee, no escrow, and no percentage of your deal in any form. Acquirers join the Acquirer List free — sellers are the payers.

The Index is the comps layer: publicly published asking prices, closed-deal multiples and quarterly M&A reports, refreshed monthly. On top of it sits the anonymized aggregate of every Ballpark Score ever run here.
That second layer is the part a calculator cannot copy. Each founder who values a business here makes the next range sharper for everyone.
A band publishes when twelve closed deals clear it. Until then it says so, plainly. A shaky median is worse than no median.

Six fields, and the range comes back on the next screen. It is free and unlimited, there is no account to create, and we do not ask for your email until you want the reasons behind the number.
What is open today
One-time prices. Nothing recurring, and no percentage of a deal in any form.
