Buyers know the difference before the slide deck loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When sellers present value creation work, most buyers apply a discount before the conversation starts. The story sounds familiar because they&#8217;ve heard it before, and they&#8217;ve seen what happens to those numbers post-close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here&#8217;s what separates a credible story from a discounted one:<br>\ud83d\udd39 The typical improvement story<br>\ud83d\udd38 Source: Cost reductions, headcount rationalization, vendor renegotiation<br>\ud83d\udd38 Documentation: Variance from prior periods in the financials<br>\ud83d\udd38 Durability: Unclear, often dependent on the management team that made the cuts<br>\ud83d\udd38 Buyer perception: Situational, likely to soften under integration pressure \ud83d\udd38 Exit impact: Discounted. Buyer prices in reversion risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udd37 The credible improvement story<br>\u2705 Source: Process-level changes with documented before-and-after metrics<br>\u2705 Documentation: Cycle time, error rate, throughput, labor cost per unit, sustained over multiple quarters<br>\u2705 Durability: Embedded in operating capability, survives leadership changes \u2705 Buyer perception: Structural. The margin holds because the process holds. \u2705 Exit impact: Premium. Buyer is acquiring a capability, not a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The difference is evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A seller who can show process-level documentation, validated with data and sustained without the people who originally drove it, is selling a different asset. LSS creates exactly this kind of record: before-and-after metrics, capability built into the organization, a story a buyer can underwrite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The multiple premium goes to the seller who can prove the margin is structural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What does your value creation documentation actually show at the process level?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not all EBITDA improvement stories land the same way.
