The questions that keep you up before you commit capital.
Answered in real-time, not at the next board meeting.
What's my downside scenario probability?
❌ Pain Point
The fear isn't getting pushback on the deal, it's watching your fund suffer financially and your reputation take a hit for years because you invested based on hope rather than rigorous analysis.
✓ How Verified Metrics Helps
Verified Metrics builds PWERM (Probability Weighted Expected Return Method) models with multiple exit scenarios—from liquidation to unicorn exit—each with probability weights. See equity value ranges, exit timing, and investor returns by share class across all scenarios. Know your downside exposure before you invest, not after.
How defensible is this price under stress?
❌ Pain Point
You're about to commit millions and that nagging feeling won't go away. Your co-investor challenges assumptions mid-IC and you realize your valuation was built on management's rosy forecasts, not hard data. One bad bet destroys your track record with LPs.
✓ How Verified Metrics Helps
Verified Metrics runs PWERM with multiple exit scenarios, each showing equity value, exit timing, and investor returns. Weighted expected value auto-calculates, and every assumption traces back to financials pulled via API. Your valuation holds up when challenged because it's built on verified data, not management projections.
Did I stress-test my capital structure?
❌ Pain Point
That 25% IRR on paper turned into 12% at exit because someone miscalculated how the waterfall actually worked. Covenant breaches six months post-close because leverage was too aggressive and no one stress-tested downside scenarios.
✓ How Verified Metrics Helps
Verified Metrics models complete cap table and liquidation preferences, see waterfall distribution by share class across all exit scenarios. Understand which scenarios wipe out common equity and which trigger preferred conversion. Know exactly what each investor class gets in every scenario before you negotiate terms.
Are my comparable companies actually comparable?
❌ Pain Point
ou picked comps based on industry tags, but their business models, growth profiles, and margins are nothing like your target. Presenting misleading multiples to IC destroys credibility, and you only realize it when someone asks "Why is their gross margin 80% and ours is 20%?"
✓ How Verified Metrics Helps
Verified Metrics pulls comparable company data from Capital IQ with full business descriptions, revenue metrics, EV/Revenue multiples, and growth rates. Compare your target against public comps side-by-side, growth trajectories, margins, and multiples visible at a glance. Filter out mismatches before you present, not during IC.
Can I compress my diligence timeline?
❌ Pain Point
Manual model building, messy data rooms, and back-and-forth with the target company push your timeline. Meanwhile, a competing fund is already at term sheet while you're still validating assumptions.
✓ How Verified Metrics Helps
Verified Metrics auto-populates IPEV-compliant valuation models from accounting APIs, like PWERM scenarios, comparable company analysis, cap table waterfall, and projected financials ready in 24-48 hours. No manual data entry, no spreadsheet errors, no stale numbers. Focus on deal strategy while we build the models.
How do I scale fair value reporting?
❌ Pain Point
Annual and quarterly fair value reporting requires IPEV-compliant valuations for every portfolio company. Traditional firms quote $15-20K per company and take 6-8 weeks. Your team has the skills but not the bandwidth—and 15+ portfolio companies means $225K+ per quarter.
✓ How Verified Metrics Helps
Verified Metrics scales portfolio valuations at a fraction of Big-4 cost. Continuous data sync from accounting APIs keeps fair values current. Run quarterly marks across your entire portfolio simultaneously, like PWERM, comps, and cap table analysis auto-update. Generate audit-ready NAV reports without the timeline or expense of external advisors.
