FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Common Questions

What is a DealCard?

A DealCard is DealQuest's structured deal analysis output. It includes a 0–100 deal signal score, red and green flags, buyer-fit narrative, diligence questions, and an evidence layer that labels every claim as VERIFIED, INFERRED, or ASSUMED. It's modeled on the first-pass screening workflow used by PE firms and search fund investors — compressed into a format you can read in under 3 minutes.

How does AI analyze a business for sale?

DealQuest's AI parses your listing or financial snapshot and extracts key signals: revenue quality, owner dependency, recurring revenue, customer diversification, financial transparency, and local defensibility. It cross-references public sources where available, labels its confidence on every claim, and generates diligence questions designed to pressure-test the deal thesis before you commit to an LOI.

What does a search fund analyst look for?

Search fund analysts prioritize earnings durability over top-line growth, owner independence, and a clear operating thesis post-close. They assess recurring vs. project revenue, customer concentration, key-person risk, and whether the asking price is defensible at a 2.5–4x EBITDA range. DealQuest structures every analysis around these exact dimensions so you can benchmark any deal the way a search fund IC would.

Is DealQuest free to use?

Yes. Every analysis returns a free preview that includes the deal signal score, key red and green flags, and buyer-fit summary — no account required. A full Deep DealCard with the complete evidence layer, valuation notes, IC challenge questions, diligence checklist, and PDF export is available for a one-time $5 unlock fee. No subscription, no recurring charges.

What's included in the free analysis?

The free preview includes: a 0–100 deal signal score with confidence range, your top strengths and risk flags, a buyer-fit narrative, and a preview of the evidence layer. The full Deep DealCard (unlocked for $5) adds: complete evidence scoring for every claim, valuation notes with EBITDA multiple range, IC challenge questions, a 10-point diligence checklist, mission-style action steps, and a downloadable PDF.

What kinds of businesses can I analyze?

DealQuest is optimized for SMB acquisitions in the $500K–$10M range: service businesses, SaaS companies, e-commerce brands, professional services firms, and franchise resales. You can paste a broker teaser, a BizBuySell or Acquire.com listing, or a rough financial summary. The more detail you provide, the higher the evidence quality in your DealCard.
