Ma Playbook

A comprehensive M&A framework covering both sides of the table: acquiring companies and preparing to be acquired. Includes decision trees for buy vs. build analysis, domain-specific due diligence checklists with red flags, valuation methods with SaaS multiple ranges based on growth and retention, and deal structure terms. The strategic rationale decision tree is especially useful, it forces you to answer whether you can build it faster before you waste months on diligence. Also covers acqui-hire economics, integration planning, and negotiation tactics. Worth having if you're evaluating targets, preparing a data room, or just want to understand what buyers will scrutinize when they kick your tires.
