The framework draws from Roy Redd's experience buying six businesses and analyzes data from BizBuySell, McKinsey research on AI, and SHRM workplace studies. The methodology implements five specific AI system upgrades across process documentation, financial management, customer support, hiring automation, and strategic positioning. Each system addresses a specific buyer risk factor with measurable valuation impacts ranging from +0.2x to +0.7x multiple improvements. The 90-day implementation timeline is based on deploying commercially available tools like Scribe, Datarails, Intercom AI, Ashby, and Gamma. The approach focuses on systematic risk reduction rather than revenue growth to achieve cumulative valuation lifts of 1.0x to 1.5x for businesses in the $1-5M revenue range.
