Thresholds

Deal-Breaker Checks (Auto-Fail)

Before scoring, check for absolute disqualifiers:

• Revenue below buyer's minimum threshold
• Negative EBITDA (unless growth-stage thesis)
• Active material litigation exceeding 20% of EV
• Sanctioned entities in ownership chain
• Industry explicitly excluded by buyer mandate

PE-Specific Criteria

For financial sponsor buyers, additionally evaluate:

• LBO feasibility: Can the deal be levered 3-5x EBITDA?
• Value creation levers: Revenue growth, margin expansion, add-ons, multiple expansion
• Exit path: IPO viability, strategic buyer universe, sponsor-to-sponsor
• Hold period returns: Target 20-25% gross IRR over 3-5 years
• Fund fit: Check size, vintage, sector focus, geographic mandate
