The value discipline

Presented EBITDA is normalized to cash, then translated into the value it supports. The gap between offer and supported value is the overpayment exposure, and the protected-value corridor is the price the evidence defends.

Figures on the full page are illustrative, not a real transaction.

What the Twin does not do

It does not replace legal, tax, or financial due diligence. It is not a fairness opinion and not a guarantee of outcome. Every posture carries the evidence rung it rests on.
