We improve the Magic 9 and target a 4x multiple.
Recurring Revenue
Do you start every season at $0, or is 80% of your overhead covered before the first mower leaves the shop?
Growth Rate
Are you growing by design with high-margin accounts, or are you just "getting bigger" by taking on more headaches?
Systems Maturity
Is there a "Standard Way" of doing things that Lana.ai can track, or is everyone just "winging it" and hoping for the best?
Margin Stability
Are you actually making money on every job, or are "special favors" and sloppy estimating eating your net profit alive?
Customer Concentration
If your biggest client leaves tomorrow, does it hurt your feelings or does it bankrupt your company?
Reporting Visibility
