Eliminate theKey Person Discount

Neuralicity builds AI agents as your transfer-ready infrastructure. Modeled from the tribal knowledge that buyers flag as risk.

The knowledge stays. The discount goes.

THE $3M EBITDA BUSINESS SALE

With key
person risk

$10.5M

Without key
person risk

$15.0M

Gap

$4.5M

Based on $3M EBITDA at 5x multiple. Your gap may be higher.

The Problem

Your business is worth less than it should be

15-30%

The discount buyers apply to key person dependent businesses. Your role in daily operations is a liability on their balance sheet.

Invisible

Tribal knowledge doesn't appear on the balance sheet. But it surfaces immediately in due diligence, and buyers price it in.

Every deal

Key person risk is priced into every offer. The discount varies, but it's never in your favor.

The Solution

Agents built to run operations that buyers evaluate during diligence

SOPs describe the work. Backup hires take months to ramp. Agents execute it on day one.

Traditional Exit Prep

You document it

  • ✕SOPs that describe the work but don't execute it
  • ✕Backup hires that take months to ramp
  • ✕Key person risk is reduced on paper, still visible in practice

Neuralicity

We systematize it

  • ✓Agents that execute operations, not describe them
  • ✓Your key people's decision logic, captured and encoded
  • ✓Buyers see systems, not retention risk

How It Works

From Key Personto Transferable Value

Process MRI

Exit Readiness Diagnostic

We scan your operations for key person dependencies, undocumented decision logic, and tribal knowledge a buyer would flag during diligence. Then we architect the agents that run it.

✓Key Person Risk Map showing where your valuation is exposed
✓Agent architecture for your highest-risk processes
✓Implementation roadmap to build and deploy those agents
✓Your valuation gap and the plan to close it
