The short answer

Valuation conversations go wrong when they start from a multiple and work backwards to a story. Start from earnings quality, concentration, retention, and how much of the result depends on the owner. Percision can stress those drivers; it is not an appraisal and it is not a banker.

How to tell this is actually your problem

The move that usually makes it worse: Shopping a number the books cannot defend, which wastes a year of conversations.

When Percision is the wrong tool

Percision is the wrong tool if you already know the answer and only need execution capacity, or if the business is pre-revenue — then the constraint is evidence about the market, not analysis of your own figures.

Questions people ask

Will Percision tell me the sale price?

No. It will show which drivers a buyer will haircut. An actual price is a negotiation with a human on the other side.

When is Percision the wrong tool?

Percision is the wrong tool if you already know the answer and only need execution capacity, or if the business is pre-revenue — then the constraint is evidence about the market, not analysis of your own figures.

Is this the same as a business plan for the bank?

Related arithmetic, different audience. Lenders care about coverage. Buyers care about earnings quality and dependence on you.
