Value Creation Register

Published · Reviewed by The Diligence Standard Team · Updated

A disciplined register keeps opportunity, cost, timing, confidence and realized benefit separate from historical earnings.

Records to reconcile

  • Baseline evidence
  • Implementation plan and cost
  • Measurement owner and realized results

Warning signal

Speculative opportunities are added directly to normalized EBITDA or SDE.

Transaction impact

Double counting upside can cause overpayment and weak accountability.

Response

Track conservative benefit, confidence and realization without inflating the purchase multiple.
