Example Output
Deal Structure Output:
- Partnership valuation: $45M NPV over 5 years (base case)
- Proposed terms: 60/40 revenue split with $8M upfront, variable performance fees
- Year 1 synergy target: $2.3M (cost savings), Year 2: $5.1M (revenue uplift)
- Key risks: Sales team integration (HIGH), product roadmap alignment (MEDIUM), customer overlap conflicts (MEDIUM)
Executive Summary Snippet: "This partnership delivers $12.4M cumulative synergy value with manageable execution risk. Recommend proceeding with Q2 close, pending customer concentration agreement and sales compensation restructuring."
Negotiation Scenario:
- Base case: 60/40 split, $8M upfront → $45M NPV
- Optimistic case: 65/35 split, $5M upfront → $52M NPV (walk-away if partner demands >70%)
- Pessimistic case: 55/45 split, $10M upfront → $38M NPV (below hurdle rate—recommend declining)
