Over the past month, we’ve worked closely with corporate development teams— while collaborating on live deals—to build and iterate on a new scan designed specifically for buy-side diligence.
Comparison Scans benchmark a target’s business units against your own—side by side.
The goal: to give acquirers clear, fast insight into how a target actually performs relative to their current business.
Designed to answer core diligence questions
Comparison Scans are built to help acquirers quickly answer high-leverage questions:
Where are there meaningful deltas in performance, growth, and PMF between our BUs and the target’s?
Are the growth synergies we’re underwriting supported by the data?
Are there inconsistencies or anomalies that need a second look before we move forward?
Each scan includes:
BU-level performance cuts showing how target units compare to your internal benchmarks
Model-driven analysis that flags issues in retention, acquisition efficiency, or expansion potential
Data discrepancy checks to catch problems before they become risks
Where it's been most impactful
So far, customers have found Comparison Scans especially useful when seeking under-marketed BUs with signs of strong product-market fit—units that haven’t been fully capitalized but could be valuable growth engines in the right hands.
In these cases, the scan helps teams validate whether a BU has what it takes to be a credible growth driver post-integration. That means:
PMF in attractive customer segments
Solid retention dynamics
Reasonable acquisition efficiency
Expansion potential aligned with your existing go-to-market
Comparison Scans were designed for acquirers who need clarity fast—who want to move with conviction and minimize surprises after the close.
