M&A Playbook

Frameworks for both sides of M&A: acquiring companies and being acquired.

Keywords

M&A, mergers and acquisitions, due diligence, acquisition, acqui-hire, integration, deal structure, valuation, LOI, term sheet, earnout

Quick Start

Acquiring: Start with strategic rationale → target screening → due diligence → valuation → negotiation → integration.

Being Acquired: Start with readiness assessment → data room prep → advisor selection → negotiation → transition.

When You're Acquiring

Strategic Rationale (answer before anything else)

  • Buy vs Build: Can you build this faster/cheaper? If yes, don't acquire.
  • Acqui-hire vs Product vs Market: What are you really buying? Talent? Technology? Customers?
  • Integration complexity: How hard is it to merge this into your company?

Due Diligence Checklist

DomainKey QuestionsRed Flags
FinancialRevenue quality, customer concentration, burn rate>30% revenue from 1 customer
TechnicalCode quality, tech debt, architecture fitMonolith with no tests
LegalIP ownership, pending litigation, contractsKey IP owned by individuals
PeopleKey person risk, culture fit, retention riskFounders have no lockup/earnout
MarketMarket position, competitive threatsDeclining market share
CustomersChurn rate, NPS, contract termsHigh churn, short contracts

Valuation Approaches

The ranges below are illustrative, not current market data — always verify against current market comps before using them in a model or negotiation.

  • Revenue multiple: Industry-dependent (illustrative range: 2-15x ARR for SaaS, varying with growth rate, NRR, and rate environment)
  • Comparable transactions: What similar companies sold for — the most defensible anchor
  • DCF: For profitable companies only (most startups: use multiples)
  • Acqui-hire: Illustrative range: $1-3M per engineer in hot talent markets

Sources to verify against (check the latest edition): the SaaS Capital Index (private SaaS revenue multiples, updated monthly), Software Equity Group (SEG) Annual/Quarterly SaaS M&A Reports (transaction multiples), and Aventis Advisors' SaaS valuation multiples reports. Cross-check at least two before anchoring a price.

Integration Frameworks

See references/integration-playbook.md for the 100-day integration plan.

When You're Being Acquired

Readiness Signals

  • Inbound interest from strategic buyers
  • Market consolidation happening around you
  • Fundraising becomes harder than operating
  • Founder ready for a transition

Preparation (6-12 months before)

  1. Clean up financials (audited if possible)
  2. Document all IP and contracts
  3. Reduce customer concentration
  4. Lock up key employees
  5. Build the data room
  6. Engage an M&A advisor

Negotiation Points

TermWhat to WatchYour Leverage
ValuationEarnout traps (unreachable targets)Multiple competing offers
EarnoutMilestone definitions, measurement periodCash-heavy vs earnout-heavy split
LockupDuration, conditionsYour replaceability
Rep & warrantiesScope of liabilityEscrow vs indemnification cap
Employee retentionWho gets offers, at what termsKey person dependencies

Red Flags (Both Sides)

  • No clear strategic rationale beyond "it's a good deal"
  • Culture clash visible during due diligence and ignored
  • Key people not locked in before close
  • Integration plan doesn't exist or is "we'll figure it out"
  • Valuation based on projections, not actuals

Verification Loop (before any LOI or signature)

This skill frames the deal; two sibling skills verify it. Hand off — don't duplicate:

  1. Legal terms → general-counsel-advisor: run the LOI/term sheet through ../general-counsel-advisor/scripts/term_sheet_analyzer.py (12-dimension 0-100 score) and the definitive docs through ../general-counsel-advisor/scripts/contract_risk_scanner.py (12 founder-killer patterns: earnout traps, uncapped indemnity, vague IP, etc.). Any 🔴 finding goes to outside counsel before signing.
  2. Data diligence → chief-data-officer-advisor: run ../chief-data-officer-advisor/scripts/ai_training_data_audit.py (training-data rights, GDPR Art. 6 basis) and ../chief-data-officer-advisor/scripts/data_asset_valuator.py (data-asset value, M&A multiplier with carve-out penalties) on the target's data estate. Undocumented consent provenance is a price-reduction or walk-away item.
  3. Valuation math → cfo-advisor tools for the quantitative model; this playbook stays qualitative.

Loop the findings back into the negotiation-points table above before the next counter.

Integration with C-Suite Roles

RoleContribution to M&A
CEOStrategic rationale, negotiation lead
CFOValuation, deal structure, financing
GCLOI/term sheet review, contract risk scan, regulatory triggers
CDOData diligence: training-data rights, data-asset valuation
CTOTechnical due diligence, integration architecture
CHROPeople due diligence, retention planning
COOIntegration execution, process merge
CPOProduct roadmap impact, customer overlap

When the user needs to generate, iterate, or scale ad creative for paid advertising. Use when they say 'write ad copy,' 'generate headlines,' 'create ad variations,' 'bulk creative,' 'iterate on ads,' 'ad copy validation,' 'RSA headlines,' 'Meta ad copy,' 'LinkedIn ad,' or 'creative testing.' This is pure creative production — distinct from paid-ads (campaign strategy). Use ad-creative when you need the copy, not the campaign plan.

Adversarial code review that breaks the self-review monoculture. Use when you want a genuinely critical review of recent changes, before merging a PR, or when you suspect Claude is being too agreeable about code quality. Forces perspective shifts through hostile reviewer personas that catch blind spots the author's mental model shares with the reviewer.

aeo

無料

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) skill — optimize content to be cited by AI language models (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Mistral) as authoritative sources. Distinct from SEO — AEO optimizes for citation in LLM-generated responses, not search rankings. Use when planning content for AI-first search audiences, auditing existing content for E-E-A-T signals, tracking which pages get cited by which LLMs, or building a citation-friendly content strategy. Triggers — 'AEO audit', 'optimize for ChatGPT', 'get cited by Perplexity', 'LLM citation strategy', 'answer engine optimization', 'content for AI search', 'E-E-A-T audit'. Output is a markdown audit report (default) or JSON for pipeline integration. Stdlib-only Python tools.

Mint a tamper-evident, post-quantum-signed receipt for a consequential agent action (deploy, delete, pay, grant-access, model decision) so it can be verified later from the certificate alone. Use when an autonomous agent takes a side-effecting action that may need to be proven later, or when satisfying EU AI Act Article 12 record-keeping. Three decisions: whether an action needs a receipt, minting it, verifying it. Signing is delegated to the open-source OpenAgentOntology package. Not after-the-fact log analysis; not a hosted notary; not a legal opinion.
