# The Quick-Screen Scorecard *System 2 of 4 · PASS BAD DEALS FAST · [The Deal Kit](../../README.md)* Most deals should be a pass. The skill is passing them in minutes, not weeks. Score any opportunity across nine criteria the moment a teaser or CIM lands, and let the total tell you whether it's worth your time. --- ## The system Paste below into Claude with the teaser or CIM. Score this deal using the Quick-Screen Scorecard. Rate each criterion 0-2 (0 = poor / concerning, 1 = acceptable, 2 = strong), with one line of evidence each: - Thesis fit - Size fit - Revenue quality - Margin & cash health - Customer diversification - Owner independence - Growth durability - Price sanity - Red-flag load (2 = few/none) Mark any criterion you can't assess as "unknown" and don't guess. Total the score out of 18, then give a verdict using these bands: 13+ pursue, 8-12 hold and dig, under 8 pass, and name the single fact that would most change the result. --- > The bands are a starting point. Tune the thresholds to your own buy-box over time. > *Analytical tool, not investment, legal, tax or accounting advice.
