Ledger

Every open control has a price. Here it is.

The Ledger states what your compliance gap costs to close, what revenue it gates, what it drags annually, and what closing it implies at exit. In your account, the compliance state is measured. On this page it is illustrative, and every financial constant is yours, and every one is shown.

ILLUSTRATIVEHours-to-evidence, control counts and certification gaps are measured in an account with connected sources. Nothing is connected here, so this page reads illustrative.

§01 Cost to close

What is expensive, not what is broken.

9 open spine controls, 296 measured hours-to-evidence. Sorted by cost descending, because that is the question actually being asked.

§02 Revenue gated

Pipeline that a missing certification is holding.

Add the deals. Each required certification is cross-referenced against measured evidence state and returns one of three readings. The contract values are yours; the gap counts are measured.

§04 Value at exit

The translation.

EBITDA delta is probability-adjusted gated revenue and recurring drag recovered, less the cost to close. Multiplied by the exit multiple you enter. Change any input above and this recomputes.
