How the acquisition quality score works
Each dimension is scored 0–10 and weighted (recurring revenue, owner independence and transferability weigh most), then scaled to 100.
How to read the result
- The lowest bars are where diligence should start.
- Scores are your judgment; verify each one with evidence.
