Get from listing import to an updated decision.

Use these guides to review seller claims carefully, understand the two scores, reconcile financial evidence, and keep a live acquisition record after the first report.

Five answers before you start

What the free screen, credit, and workspace actually include

What do I get free?

One saved preview with the supplied economics, downside cases, Deal Score, Claim Verification, model coverage, major risk flags, and a first seller question. No card is required.

What does one report credit buy?

One credit unlocks one new deal's complete investigation report and private evidence workspace. Later report versions for that same paid deal are included without another credit.

Why are there two scores?

Deal Score rates the quality of the facts supplied. Claim Verification measures how much important seller information is backed by evidence you inspected. Read both together with model coverage.

Can a seller answer verify a claim?

No. A seller reply remains a seller claim. Verification requires suitable source records, live account access, or another credible source that you inspect and reconcile.

Do evidence updates cost another credit?

No. Seller replies, finding decisions, evidence reconciliations, and updated report versions remain included for the same unlocked deal.

Start and review an analysis

Which listing links can Deal Preflight import?+

Public Flippa, Acquire, and Microns pages are supported. A marketplace may hide content behind sign-in, an NDA, or anti-bot controls. When that happens, paste the visible listing text you are permitted to use or enter the facts manually.

Why are some extracted fields blank?+

Deal Preflight leaves a field blank when it cannot find an explicit, unambiguous claim. Review the source note and enter a confirmed value manually. A blank is safer than an invented figure.

Why must I confirm the business type?+

The selection changes model-specific inputs, risk checks, evidence requests, and seller questions. It does not change the core price, revenue, profit, or multiple calculations.

What should I check before calculating the preview?+

Confirm the asking price, currency, revenue and profit periods, whether profit includes owner labour, and the evidence state beside each material claim. Correct anything the listing importer interpreted incorrectly.

Scores, claims, and evidence

Why are there two scores?+

Deal Score screens the supplied economics, concentration, operations, transferability, and price. Claim Verification measures how much important seller information has support. An attractive deal with weak proof can therefore show a high Deal Score and a low Claim Verification score.

Does seller-claimed mean verified?+

No. It means the listing or seller stated it. Mark information as verified only after you inspect suitable source records, read-only account access, or a credible live walkthrough.

Does uploading a document automatically verify a claim?+

No. Evidence received, internally reconciled, live verified, and contradicted are different states. You choose what the file represents and confirm whether you inspected and reconciled it. Deal Preflight preserves that assessment instead of silently treating every upload as proof.

What are the public checks?+

Where supported, Deal Preflight records a time-stamped website response, technology signals, registration data, and current official provider guidance. It can also flag visible template text, a customer email domain that differs from the website, explicitly blank business-identification fields, and geography or currency signals that need reconciliation. These observations are diligence prompts; they do not prove fraud, ownership, revenue, traffic, compliance, or successful transfer.

Financial files and reconciliation

Which financial files can I reconcile in the workspace?+

Use a CSV export from the source system you inspected. Choose the date and value columns, state whether the value is revenue or profit, identify its accounting meaning and currency, and record the store, domain, entity, or account shown in the source.

What does reconciliation do?+

It previews the selected rows, groups them by month, calculates an observed monthly average, and compares it with the matching saved claim when one exists. It enters a future report only after you confirm source identity, period, currency, and value definition.

Is the raw financial file stored?+

No. The raw CSV is processed and discarded. Deal Preflight stores the source description, business identifier, selected mapping, date range, totals, monthly summary, reconciliation result, and a file fingerprint so the decision remains reviewable.

What if a file belongs to another business or measures the wrong thing?+

Choose Exclude as unrelated / wrong source. The record stays in the audit history with your reason, but it cannot change the analyzer or a future report. Older reconciliations created before the semantic checks are also ignored until you re-upload and review them.

Deal workspace and report updates

What belongs in the deal workspace?+

Keep seller responses, evidence reconciliations, buyer decisions, closing conditions, finding statuses, and report versions there. Link one update to every finding it actually addresses; suggested links require your confirmation and never change verification by themselves.

How do the workspace stages work?+

Each open finding appears once as To request, Promised, Received, Reconciled, Inspected live, Contradicted, or Decision set. The workspace prioritizes three next actions and separately shows the saved changes waiting for the next report version.

Can I change facts after a report is generated?+

Yes. Use Update deal facts from the workspace, correct the inputs or evidence states, return to the workspace, and choose Generate updated report. The updated report uses the current deal record.

Does an updated report use another credit?+

No. The first successful complete report unlocks full-report access for that deal. Later report versions for the same deal do not consume another report credit.

What happens to the old report?+

Generated reports are immutable snapshots. Every successful update creates a new version, summarizes material changes, and keeps the earlier version in the deal history.

Why did a new seller reply not change the score?+

A seller response is still a seller claim unless you assess suitable evidence. The Deal Score is deterministic and does not change merely because text was added. Claim Verification changes only when the saved evidence state supports it.

Credits, checkout, and access

When is a report credit used?+

One credit is reserved when a deal's first complete report begins and consumed only after generation succeeds. If generation fails, the reservation is returned automatically. Credits do not expire and there is no subscription.

How does the Founding 100 price work?+

While the offer is active and places remain, an eligible account can buy its first paid complete report for S$9 (about US$7, charged in SGD). Later purchases use the standard S$19 single-report or S$49 five-credit pricing. A granted design-partner credit does not use that paid-first-report eligibility.

I paid but do not see my credit. What should I do?+

Return to the dashboard and refresh once. Payment fulfilment is designed to recover from both the Stripe return and the webhook. If the credit still does not appear, contact support with the account email, payment time, amount, and Stripe receipt number. Do not submit a second payment.

Where can I see what happened to my credits?+

Open the dashboard and review Credit activity. It shows successful purchases or grants, active report reservations, credits used after a complete report succeeds, and credits returned by older failed-generation recovery flows. A current report build reserves availability without reducing the recorded balance.

Can I share or save a report?+

A complete report can create a private share link. You can also print it or save it as a PDF from the browser. Review the report for confidential seller information before sharing it.

Still stuck?

Send the page you were on, what you expected, and a screenshot with private seller or financial information removed. For payment issues, include the account email, amount, time, and receipt number.
