Real examples of deals we've verified, rescued, or abandoned based on hard data.
A search fund engaged us to verify a €450K ARR B2B software tool targeting HR professionals.
What we found: Our AI detected significant churn disguised as "paused" accounts in Stripe. The seller had inflated ARR by including non-recoverable accounts. We provided the exact data needed for the buyer to negotiate a €70K price reduction.
A micro-PE firm was purchasing three Amazon FBA and Shopify brands simultaneously.
What we found: We cross-referenced Shopify data, Amazon Seller Central, and supplier invoices. We discovered one brand was purchasing fake reviews resulting in high risk of platform ban. Buyer pulled out of one brand, acquired the other two.
An individual acquirer sought diligence on a portfolio of 5 blogs doing €15K/month in affiliate revenue.
What we found: Fast-tracked SEO audit revealed highly toxic, PBN (Private Blog Network) links artificially inflating traffic just before the sale. Our AI identified the exact networks used. We strongly recommended killing the deal. Traffic dropped 40% a month later.
Evaluation of a niche 2-sided marketplace matching freelance developers with startups.
What we found: A squeaky clean deal. We verified the custom-built Ruby on Rails codebase had very low technical debt. Financials matched perfectly against bank feeds. Buyer closed with confidence 3 days after our report.
