SCREEN / FLAG / QUALITY OF EARNINGS

Know the earnings.
Trace the cash.
Examine the adjustments.

The planned financial diligence offering connects the reported numbers to the underlying ledger, customer, bank, and contract record.

INSTITUTIONAL OFFERING

The mandate and its evidence.

Institutional service roadmap

The capabilities below describe the planned institutional offering. The live product is a data-center diligence demonstration with manual source review, provisional screening rules, and IC working drafts. Engagement availability and scope must be confirmed with the founding team.

01 / SCREEN

Before the letter of intent

Verdict Screen is designed to examine a teaser or CIM against sector benchmarks and highlight the questions that merit deeper work.

  • Initial scoring and screening context.
  • Questions on the earnings case and asset assumptions.
  • A basis for selecting the next diligence scope.
02 / FLAG

Focus the full engagement

Verdict Flag is designed to surface earnings, cash, contract, and deliverability flags before a complete diligence mandate.

  • EBITDA adjustments, add-backs, and revenue timing.
  • Proof-of-cash discrepancies and contract concerns.
  • Power, permit, and queue concerns for infrastructure assets.
03 / QofE

Examine the earnings at full depth

Verdict QofE is the proposed full Quality of Earnings engagement, combining complete general ledger coverage, deterministic calculations, and senior partner judgment.

Financial agents would prepare the record; professional review and sign-off would govern the institutional report.

FLAG / PROPOSED DELIVERY WORKFLOW

Prepare quickly.
Review before delivery.

01 / DATA ROOM

Establish the evidence set

Permissioned ERP, trial balance, bank, and contract records define the scope.

02 / ANALYSIS

Map and examine the record

Agents would map the chart of accounts and examine ledger, bank, and contract lines.

03 / FINDINGS

Surface the material flags

Earnings adjustments, timing, cash, and infrastructure deliverability concerns are prepared for review.

04 / REVIEW

Professional sign-off

A senior professional would challenge the findings, approve the flag report, and scope the full engagement.

The original plan targets a 48-hour Flag workflow. This is a development objective, not a currently offered service-level commitment.

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS

Beyond the headline EBITDA.

01

Earnings

Adjusted and run-rate EBITDA; related-party, non-recurring, and add-back screens; recognition and cut-off testing.

02

Cash & balance sheet

Bank-to-book reconciliation, monthly net working capital pegs, net debt, debt-like items, capex, and deferred revenue.

03

Commercial depth

Customer cohorts, net dollar retention, price-volume-mix bridges, SKU and site-level gross margin.

CONTRACTS & THE DATA ROOM

Understand the terms
behind the performance.

Customer concentration and change-of-control terms can matter as much as an earnings bridge.

The planned workflow examines contracts and customer records alongside the numbers. Revision summaries and live data-room monitoring would make new evidence visible as the transaction progresses.

  • Contract concentration and change-of-control provisions.
  • Revenue obligations and timing linked to source records.
  • Changes in the data room connected to open findings.

PROPOSED DELIVERABLES

A workpaper basis.
A committee-ready file.

01

Excel workpapers

Code-generated analysis and reconciliation schedules, with a source basis for material adjustments.

02

QofE report & data book

Findings on earnings, cash, working capital, debt-like items, and commercial performance.

03

IC Verdict Memo

A concise investment committee output connecting the quantitative case, flags, and outstanding conditions.

EVIDENCE REQUIRED

Begin with the record.

  • Trial balances and complete general ledger exports.
  • Bank feeds or statements for reconciliation.
  • Customer-level records, cohorts, contracts, and revenue schedules.
  • Working capital, debt, capex, and related-party schedules.

The proposed QofE engagement is transaction consulting, not an audit or attestation. Data access, confidentiality, coverage, and review scope must be agreed before an engagement.
