The deal quality score is a compact view of risk and return. It is designed to help you compare opportunities, not replace judgement.
What feeds the score
The score combines several investment dimensions, including cashflow, yield, debt-service coverage, stress resilience, projected IRR and refurb-driven forced equity where relevant.
Typical score tiers
- Strong. The model shows attractive returns, resilient finance cover and fewer obvious stress points.
- Fair. The deal may work, but one or more assumptions need attention.
- Weak. Margin, cashflow, finance cover or exit assumptions need improvement before the deal is worth saving or progressing.
Use findings, not just the number
The score is most useful when read alongside the findings. These explain which part of the model is driving the result, such as weak year-one cashflow, tight DSCR, limited refurb uplift or strong projected IRR.
