Unsupported growth bridge
Task: Build a first-pass DCF view and state whether the model can be released.
Packet:
- 2025 revenue base: $142.0m from company filing.
- Forecast uses 19% revenue CAGR for five years.
- Support attached: management says "large pipeline" but no customer, volume, price, retention, or capacity bridge is provided.
- EBITDA margin expands from 14.2% to 24.0% with no operating support.
- WACC input is 8.5%, but beta and capital structure sources are missing.
Required posture: compute sourced items, mark unsupported assumptions, and refuse to fabricate the missing bridge.A release-ready model should make the missing assumptions visible instead of filling them in.
