How It Works

Upload a CIM. Describe why you're buying. Get a verdict.

CIMCalc doesn't just extract data from a CIM — it evaluates that data against the risk thresholds that matter for your specific type of acquisition.

01
Upload
Your CIM is encrypted in-browser before it leaves your device. AES-256. We never see the plaintext.
02
Describe your thesis
Tell us why you're buying — "stable cash flows for distributions" or "turnaround opportunity." This determines what matters.
03
We compute
33 forensic calculators run against the CIM data. Each one uses thresholds calibrated to your buyer profile.
04
You get a verdict
A screening report: KILL (don't waste time), FLAG (dig deeper), or CLEAR (move to IOI). With every number source-traced.

Same company. Same data.
Different buyer. Different verdict.

This is the core idea. A financial metric like 7× leverage is a deal-killer for one buyer and irrelevant to another. CIMCalc adjusts every threshold based on your stated acquisition thesis.

The company: Alcatel-Lucent · EUR 14.5B revenue · 4.8% EBITDA margin · Gross leverage 6.95× · Three buyers walk in with three different reasons to acquire it:
Yield Acquisition
A dividend fund looking for stable, predictable cash flows to distribute to LPs.
Kill threshold for this buyer: 6.0×
6.95×
Gross Debt / EBITDA
KILL
At 6.95× leverage with sub-5% margins, there's no distributable cash flow. This deal is dead for this buyer.
Strategic IP Acquisition
A tech company acquiring for Bell Labs patents and R&D capabilities.
Kill threshold for this buyer: 10.0×
6.95×
Gross Debt / EBITDA
CONCERN
The IP may justify the price, but leverage needs a carve-out structure. Proceed with caution.
Distressed Turnaround
A restructuring fund that buys struggling companies and fixes them.
Kill threshold for this buyer: 15.0×
6.95×
Gross Debt / EBITDA
CLEAR
The leverage is the opportunity — it's why the price is low. Thin margins are the thesis, not the risk.

Nokia acquired Alcatel-Lucent in 2016 for €15.6B — they wanted Bell Labs patents, not cash flow. Every verdict above is the correct answer for that buyer.
