Metric 1: Customer Validation Visibility™ is provided by a predictive metric that measures the resilience of a company’s existing revenue base over the next 12 months. The prediction is derived by linking current customer spending to customers’ confidence that the company will continue to solve their evolving business challenges. The score derived by customers rating their expectations of the company as an innovative problem solver.

The Score measures:
  • How durable customer demand is
  • Whether growth is repeatable
  • Whether revenue quality will withstand due diligence
  • Whether customer concentration risks exist 

Valuation Expansion Signal

Metric 2: Monetization Visibility™ predicts an organisation’s capacity to create new revenue over the next 24 months.

The prediction is derived from a confidential assessment of the organisation’s collective ability to continuously Adapt, Innovate, and Execute value for customers.

The resulting Revenue Creation score provides an early indicator of future growth potential. The accompanying analysis identifies the specific organisational constraints that may be limiting revenue creation, restricting growth, and ultimately impacting the durability of future revenue streams.

The Score measures:
  • Pricing power
  • Revenue scalability
  • Margin expansion potential
  • Commercial maturity

Future Growth Premium Signal & Transaction Readiness

The Growth Predictor Score™ combines data from metric 1 and 2 into a single score from which algorithms calculate and predict likely future revenue and growth rate over the next 24 months. Together, these factors provide a forward-looking indicator of growth potential not visible from financials. Detailed analysis pinpoints missed growth opportunities and capability misalignment to accelerate growth. 

The Score measures:
  • Expected growth trajectory
  • Competitive momentum
  • Market-share potential
  • Likely future performance
Transaction Readiness Signal:
  • Whether value creation is still accelerating
  • Whether a business has reached an optimal exit window
  • Whether delaying a sale may create additional value
  • Whether growth momentum is likely to plateau

Portfolio Competitive Position

Metric 4: The Growth Predictor Index™ illustrates a typical portfolio relative to industry average, market average, and top-quartile benchmarks. This data, generated over time as more investors and companies participate, will enable you to assess opportunities in your pipeline.
