If the Clarity Scan does not materially clarify where you stand, you pay nothing.
What you receive
Your earnings reconstructed the way a sophisticated buyer would see them — not the way your P&L currently presents them. Every add-back identified, documented, and made defensible. Owner compensation normalized. Non-recurring items removed. Revenue concentration assessed.
Why it matters: The EBITDA number a buyer uses to value your business is often materially different from what you think it is. This is where the process starts.
Three transaction scenarios — conservative, base, and optimized — with the multiple logic explained in plain language. Not a formal appraisal. A buyer-calibrated range that tells you what the market would likely pay today, and what would need to change to improve that range.
Conservative
Risks priced in, limited add-backs recognized
Base
Defensible position under normal buyer scrutiny
Optimized
What preparation and positioning could achieve
Every material risk identified, classified by severity, and explained in terms of its specific mechanism of value impact. Not a generic checklist — a prioritized map of what buyers will find, what it means to them, and what (if anything) can still be addressed before a process begins.
High Severity
Material discount or deal risk
Medium Severity
Addressable with preparation
Low Severity
Context only, minimal impact
All five seller education playbooks included automatically at no additional charge. How Buyers Think. Why Deals Fail. The Value Framework. The Risk Playbook. The Preparation Guide. The conceptual foundation that makes the Clarity Scan findings more actionable.
How it works
Secure checkout. You'll receive a confirmation and a short intake form immediately after.
You provide 2–3 years of financials and answer a brief intake questionnaire. No lengthy onboarding.
Todd reviews and builds the EBITDA normalization, value range, and Risk Heat Map. 48–72 hours.
You receive the complete Clarity Scan report with a brief walkthrough call to review findings.
If the Clarity Scan does not materially clarify where you stand — your real EBITDA, an indicative value range, and your top risks identified — you pay nothing. No questions, no conditions. This isn't a sales tactic. It's the operating principle: value must exceed cost.
What comes next
Many clients stop here — the scan gives them the clarity they needed. Others use it as the foundation for deeper engagement. Both are right, depending on where you are and how much time remains.
