Owner dependency

50/100
Moderate — manageable with handover

Some founder dependency, but not acute. A structured handover period should cover most risk.

Succession & seller-readiness

30/100
Weak signal

Limited succession signal. Not a near-term off-market candidate.

Red flags

1 med ·
Name changed 4 times
medium

Name changes can be benign (rebrand) but can also precede distress, phoenix activity, or buyer concealment.
