Pricing & founding access

Filter the deal before it gets expensive.

Start with the ADE Acquisition Profile Score and recommendation. Carry deals that survive into the next conversation with the Advisor Brief, financing view, and decision reasoning already organized.

Main Street deals need SBA supportability and SDE discipline.

Lower Middle Market deals need EBITDA quality, senior debt capacity, and institutional diligence readiness.

Start with 3 free deal screens. No credit card required. Paid plans are for buyers who need more screens, a saved underwriting record, Lower Middle Market analysis, or team access. Expert Review is available separately for unusually complex live opportunities.

ADE is a decision-support tool, not legal, tax, accounting, investment, lending, valuation, or financial advice. A deal screen is not a valuation, investment recommendation, lending approval, or diligence report.

Questions: Acquisitionanalytics26@gmail.com

ADE is built to earn its place while you're actively evaluating acquisitions. Use it as the cheap first filter before you spend serious time, legal fees, diligence money, or lender goodwill on the wrong deal.

If the deal survives the screen, the ADE Advisor Brief carries the current facts, assumptions, risks, buyer profile, and open questions into the next advisor conversation.

ADE's financing ceiling is not a valuation target. It is a lender-style supportability check that helps buyers avoid anchoring on a price the cash flow may not support.

Ways to access ADE

Optional expert escalation

Need another set of eyes on a serious live deal?

ADE is designed to stand on its own as a disciplined acquisition screening and underwriting system. For unusually complex or high-stakes opportunities, buyers can optionally escalate a completed ADE analysis for Expert Review.

Expert Review adds focused scrutiny to ADE's existing analysis. It does not replace a lender, CPA, attorney, quality-of-earnings provider, valuation professional, or other transaction advisor.

Confidentiality matters.

Expert Review may involve sensitive, nonpublic acquisition materials. Acquisition Analytics can provide an NDA for execution before Expert Review materials are shared.

Optional expert escalation

ADE Expert Review

$500

/ deal

$750 standard price

Introductory Expert Review price during initial rollout.

Requires a completed ADE analysis.

Optional expert escalation for serious or unusually complex live opportunities, including unusual structures, conflicting evidence, questionable add-backs, complicated capital stacks, SBA edge cases, or material discrepancies.

✓Review of the completed ADE analysis and source inputs
✓Focused review of material assumptions, discrepancies, and risk flags
✓Written underwriting observations on the issues most likely to change the decision
✓Additional scrutiny for unusual structure, evidence, or financeability questions
✓Built around the existing ADE analysis, Advisor Brief, and Lender First-Look Memo
✓Optional escalation — not required for normal ADE use

Best for serious live deals where unusual complexity warrants another set of eyes.

Choose by deal size and workflow

Use the lowest tier that matches the deals you are actually underwriting.

Founder and Standard remain intentionally focused on Main Street and SBA buyers. Pro is the step up when the underwriting problem becomes Lower Middle Market and more than one person needs access under the plan.

Founding promise

The first 100 paying users keep the $49/month rate for as long as they remain continuously subscribed.

Free screens come first

New accounts get 3 free deal screens without a credit card. Paid plans are for buyers who want additional screens, recurring use, Lower Middle Market analysis, or team access. Expert Review is available separately for unusually complex live opportunities.

Cheap filter before expensive work

ADE belongs before legal fees, lender goodwill, quality-of-earnings spend, or weeks of buyer attention get committed to the wrong opportunity.

The Advisor Brief carries the deal forward

When a deal survives the screen, the ADE Advisor Brief organizes the recommendation, financing view, buyer profile, assumptions, risks, and open questions for the next advisor conversation.

Match access to how you buy

One live deal and a continuous acquisition program should not buy ADE the same way.

The access model follows the buying workflow: low commitment for a one-off opportunity, recurring access for active search, and Pro when deal size or team complexity moves into the Lower Middle Market.

One live SMB / SBA deal

Start free, then Single Deal if needed

Use the free screens to test the live opportunity. If you only need one additional structured screen, Single Deal keeps the commitment low.

Active searcher / ETA buyer

Founding while available, or Standard monthly

Recurring access fits buyers who expect more CIMs, listings, or broker opportunities and want a saved underwriting record across the search.

Holdco / serial acquirer

Monthly for repeated use; Pro for LMM/team needs

Use recurring ADE access when screening is continuous. Step into Pro when the opportunity is Lower Middle Market or multiple users make the workflow institutional.

Independent sponsor / small PE

ADE Pro

Pro is built for Lower Middle Market screening, team access, EBITDA quality, senior debt capacity, capital-stack supportability, and institutional diligence gaps.

Start with the offer that matches the moment

Use ADE as the decision system for every deal.

Start with the inexpensive decision screen. Keep a repeatable underwriting record as you search. Move to Pro when your deal size or team requires Lower Middle Market analysis. Escalate to Expert Review only when an unusually complex live opportunity warrants another layer of scrutiny.

Start with 3 free deal screens. No credit card required.
