The Deal Anatomy Sheet
@fmaunlv
Six buckets, any deal. Fill them and your pitch notes assemble themselves below.
1 · THESIS
What are you actually buying?
Assets, infrastructure, brand, people. Not the ticker.
2 · CATALYST
Why now, and what's the window?
3 · PRICE
What does the bid actually buy?
And what costs sit on top of it?
4 · STACK
Who gets paid before you?
Walk the waterfall. Equity is last.
5 · RISK
What kills it, and how long is the runway?
6 · X-FACTOR
What does everyone else miss?
e.g.Spirit: a $533M bid bought assets, not an airline. Equity was wiped. The X-factor: 44M flyers who could become owners.
