For Private Equity

Audit an LBO before it goes to IC — in ten seconds.

The associate on the model has already been up 30 hours. The MD is about to open the deck. Somewhere in row 47 of the debt schedule, a hardcoded IRR override is quietly breaking your sensitivity table. BaselineSnap finds it before Monday morning.

What we catch that you'd otherwise miss

The specific bugs that lose deals.

IRR overrides hidden in the sponsor waterfall

One hardcoded IRR in a return calc turns your sensitivity table into fiction. BaselineSnap flags every literal embedded in a formula.

Debt schedule referencing stale exit assumptions

Dangling named ranges and formula drift across the debt schedule caught in one pass — before your MD spots it.

"Old model, new tab" — hidden sheets left over

Sheets you meant to delete last diligence still calculating quietly? Flagged as xlSheetHidden / xlSheetVeryHidden with distinct severities.

Volatile OFFSET / INDIRECT in returns tabs

The functions that make your model recalc for 12 seconds every time you press F9. Every use surfaced.

“We ran it on our latest sponsor waterfall the morning of IC. Caught a hardcoded IRR override that would have broken the sensitivity table on the return summary. Ten seconds. That's the whole product.”
