The agenda is the coverage specification. Every line names the dimension it evidences, so a question the meeting never reached becomes a gap against that dimension rather than a silence nobody notices.
The review for a holding being prepared for sale. The agenda asks, on a monthly cadence, what an acquirer's diligence will ask — early enough that a thin answer is still something the company can go and fix rather than something that gets discovered in the data room.
Also called: Exit review · Buyer update · Readiness assessment · Advisor call · Valuation review
7 lines in the full specification, 2 of them scoped to a stage — so any one holding is measured against 5–7 of them. Run every 30 days. The order is the running order.
2 of these 7 lines are stage-scoped. A flat agenda asks every row the same questions regardless of where it has got to, which manufactures gaps that are not gaps — and false gaps drown the real ones, which is the whole reason an uncovered question is allowed to mean something here.
Lines shown are the stage-scoped ones. The rest are in force at every exit path.
Each carries a weight in the roll-up. A dimension with no evidence behind it is not scored at a middle value — it renders as unknown, and below the coverage floor the row reads never covered rather than green.
Whether the company would survive the diligence a buyer will actually run.
Who would credibly buy this, and which of them have actually engaged.
Where the mark is, what moved it, and what comparable transactions say.
Audit position, revenue quality and whether the numbers survive scrutiny.
Whether the story a buyer needs to hear is true and evidenced.
Whether a process exists with advisors, a timetable and a fallback.
Because each line names a dimension, the gap scanner can say which one went uncovered and for how long. These are the four states it raises, and each one is a different problem with a different fix.
The line has never been reached in this room. The dimension has no evidence at all.
It was raised and the room moved on without landing an answer.
It was covered, but not within the 30-day cadence this room type expects.
There is an answer and an action, and nobody's name is against it.
Exit Rooms is one of eleven configurations of the same engine. The demo runs on fictitious holdings and sample data — every number traces back to something somebody said in the room.
