Value drivers today and the gap to peak valuation. What caps your multiple, and what would move it.
The KEV Index measures the value drivers present in the business today and the structural gap to peak valuation.
Enterprise value is not a single number. It is a function of revenue quality, margin durability, growth defensibility, and the cleanliness of the financials a buyer will test. The KEV Index scores the value drivers present today and quantifies the gap between your current valuation and peak valuation, so every recommendation maps to a multiple.
Every value driver scored maps to a concrete action a buyer would reward.
The KEV is one of five proprietary scores inside the Keystone Value Creation Assessment™. Every recommendation ties back to improving one or more of them.
Rolling forecasts, working capital optimization, and visibility into where every dollar lands before it moves.
