November CPI, Kalshi "Above -0.1%": YES ask 93¢, quote ~1:57pm PT. A price, not a probability.
Dudilagent research today: Insufficient evidence. Gas drove over half of September's 0.6%; no November forecast yet. October CPI (Nov 10) isn't settlement.

An asking price is the seller's opening line, not a valuation.
First, see what similar businesses ask. Dudilagent benchmarks show ranges, not appraisals. Asking isn't closed, and broker cash flow isn't EBITDA.

Most quality-of-earnings findings aren't fraud. They're cleanup nobody did.
An accounting-firm owner saw a seller skip it. Strong sales, but buyers doubted the books. They missed the ask.
Dudilagent sprints compare reported vs adjusted EBITDA, citing evidence. Not a QoE.
#ETA
If it runs on the owner, what's left when they leave?
Ask the seller pre-LOI:
- Who holds key customers?
- Who runs it when you're out a month?
- What's written down?
Dudilagent diligence sprints assess key-person risk, with cited evidence.

A 77 with a quality pillar worth a second look. ETSY scores 15 of 20 on quality while carrying a negative debt-to-equity ratio.
What we checked: Dudilagent's Quant screener, run finished 11:01am ET Oct 30 (1,054 names; 186 buy / 351 sell / 517 hold; avg 49.9).
Pick: ETSY (Etsy), 77, A, Strong Buy. Mom 30 · Trend 24 · Qual 15 · Liq 8 · RSI 62.6 · ADX 33.2. The model also flags MACD "losing steam."
MEDP, MANH, NOW, ABBV and ICLR ranked above it but sat out on our 7-day edge cooldown, and XLE (78) is an ETF.
The model reads D/E -2.87 as "very low debt." A negative ratio usually means negative shareholder equity, so check the balance sheet before trusting that line.
Model score, not a forecast or a track record. Not advice.

Would you still want this deal two months into your search instead of twelve?
A buyer with 6 acquisitions asked a searcher that. The deal: $700–800K of debt for an unprofitable business.

SAVE America Act law by Jan 1, 2027? Kalshi YES ask: 5¢ at 2:05pm PT. A price, not a probability.
Dudilagent research today: Insufficient evidence. Oct 24 report: no Senate passage. White House backing isn't proof of votes. Only enactment settles it.

A buyer on his 6th acquisition faced a seller stuck on a price the numbers couldn't support. He called the seller's own lender, who agreed with his valuation.

Same scoring run, two ends. The top looks like a signal. The bottom mostly looks like missing data.
What we checked: Dudilagent's Quant screener, live ~11:00am ET Oct 29 (1,054 names; 186 buy / 351 sell / 517 hold; avg 49.9). The run finished ~8:07am ET; the page shows no timestamp.
Bullish: ABBV (AbbVie), 78, A, Strong Buy. Mom 26 · Trend 24 · Qual 20 · RSI 65.2.
MEDP (83), MANH (79) and NOW (78) ranked higher but sat out on our 7-day edge cooldown.
Bearish: thin today. The lowest rows (FYBR and SATS at 0, then CAG and CPNG at 5) show no RSI and zero momentum and trend, and SWVXX is a money-market fund. The low scorers with full data (IQ, MESO, NIO) already came up in our edge posts this week.
So we're posting one side. A Strong Sell built on blank inputs isn't a finding.
Model scores, not forecasts or a track record. Not advice.

Most buyers fight on price. Terms are where deals get made.
Structures buyers reported:
- 90% bank, 5% seller note, 5% cash
- Fully seller-financed: more down in exchange for a lower rate
- $2.1M of a $3.1M price on a 7-year seller note
Not advice. Just the range.

Is a cheap ask a bargain or a warning?

An owner of three home-services businesses estimates ~97% of buyer outreach he gets never looked up his website.
The bar is low. Read the website before you write. Know the basics before the first call. Send a short, local, personal note.

Reading every listing feels like deal flow. Mostly it's sorting.
Set the buy box first: industry, region, price you can finance, cash flow range (broker cash flow isn't EBITDA), max asking multiple.

Tied for the top Oracle score today, and our own screener grades it F.
What we checked: Dudilagent Stock Oracle, Top Bullish Picks (3M), live around 11:10am ET Oct 28. Last Refresh on the page: 10/28/2026, 9:46:40 AM. 627 stocks, 255 bullish, 101 bearish. Model ranking, not a forecast.
COCO and COLB, also at 83, appeared in our edge posts this past week, so we skipped them.
Pick: BOKF (BOK Financial), 83, Extreme, scored on 1 of 7 signals, flagged Insufficient. Bull case on the page: a 4-quarter beat streak and a 4.8% beat on the latest EPS. Bear case: Screener rating F.
One signal carries the score. Check the coverage before you read the number.
Don't just predict. Verify.

Who has to be there for the business to make that money?
A first-time buyer modeled a $750K HVAC business, an $895K rural vet practice and a $500K bookkeeping practice. After paying an operator, little or nothing was left for a hands-off owner.
Not bad businesses. Jobs.

Leaving it open isn't invoking it.
Dudilagent research, 4:58pm ET: Kalshi's Insurrection Act before Jan 1, 2027 (18¢/83¢).
Insufficient evidence. YES needs invocation plus domestic deployment by the cutoff; past threats ended in retreat.

Two new owners, two cash surprises after close:
- An e-commerce platform froze payouts during the ownership transfer: nearly $200K, one said.
- A landscaper said he waited 6 weeks for access to customers' invoicing portals.
Both now say: bring more cash than you modeled.
