Private Equity: See What the Data Room Won't Show

Every deal thesis rests on operational assumptions nobody has verified. KOM™ tests those assumptions directly, before capital moves, whether you're underwriting a new target or holding a portfolio company that needs to move. Non-Permissive KOM™ reads a target's operations before you have data-room access. Permissive KOM™ finds exactly where EBITDA is leaking inside a portfolio company, and how much is recoverable before an exit. Either way, the read stays deterministic and objective, not a partner's gut call on a slide.

PE Insight

The number your buyer can't dispute.

The US PE-backed company backlog sits at roughly 13,325 unsold companies as of Q1 2026, over 8.7 years of inventory at the current exit pace, and 52 percent of the global buyout-backed portfolio has now been held four years or longer (McKinsey, PitchBook). Multiple expansion isn't rescuing anyone anymore, buyers are only paying premium multiples for assets that can prove real operational quality. Firms sitting on stale assets need a defensible operational number to bring to a buyer, not another valuation opinion.
