| Market multiples | Size-adjusted curve anchored in cited sources: closed small-business transactions, lower-middle-market deal data, and discounted public comps | Proprietary market data by business type |
| Business-size handling | Explicit — multiples change with earnings size, shown in the app and stated in the report | Not size-differentiated in published materials |
| Report | Typeset appraisal report with generated contents, a synthesis table using your weights, and PDF export | Report builder with exportable documents |
| Data provenance | Every multiple carries its source and date, visible in the app and cited in the report | Sources not itemized per figure |

Why we built ExitSight
ExitSight is built for the way valuation work happens now: from the office, from home, from a client's conference room, on whatever machine is at hand. That is a trade-off, stated plainly — ValuAdder keeps your files on your own disk, while ExitSight stores them encrypted on servers we operate, backed up, never shared, and exportable the moment you want them back. On top of that: transparent, size-adjusted market data with citations, a report that reads like an appraiser wrote it, and software that respects how CPAs and brokers actually work.
