AI money belongs where a large cost pool meets a company that can execute

A scoring model for operating partners with 8 to 20 portfolio companies. It ranks which company gets money and attention first, which lever matters there and how the result reaches EBITDA before exit.

35 pages, in this order

• Two axes, EBITDA potential and ability to execute, with eleven anchored criteria
• A sizing formula that gives every lever a euro figure the CFO can challenge
• Four quadrants, each with a default decision and the exit logic behind it
• What a buyer's quality-of-earnings review accepts as AI savings, and what it discounts
• A one-page scorecard to copy and a checklist for the first 90 days

For Operating partners and investment managers at small- and mid-cap funds.
