📊 AlphaY.io Development Update

You're right! Let me add back the detail:

Week of September 26 - October 3, 2025

Hey Searchers! 👋

Got something new we're pretty excited about and would love your feedback on.

🎯 NEW: Cash Flow Analysis Tool (Beta)

We just launched our Cash Flow Analysis system - think of it as the financial modeling tool that actually speaks bank language. 💼

Why this matters:

Major banks need specific information formatted in specific ways. Our new tool gives you exactly that - multi-year financial reviews with proper DSCR calculations, trend analysis, and all the metrics banks actually look at when evaluating deals.

What you can do:

• 📊 Input Sources: Streamlined data entry with intelligent validation

• 💰 Cash Flow Review: Real-time analysis with accurate DSCR calculations

• 💡 Annual Insights: Instant business health assessment and trends with interactive vertical bar charts

• 🎯 Quick Assessment: Executive summary cards for rapid decision-making

• 🔍 Year-over-Year Growth Analysis: True YoY growth tracking for consecutive years with volatility indicators

• 💼 Debt Capacity Analysis: Banking-standard DSCR calculations with color-coded health status (Green 1.25+, Yellow 1-1.25, Red <1)

• 🎨 Dark Mode Support: Enhanced user experience across all components

💵 NEW: Offer Price Field

Added a dedicated Offer Price field so you can keep track of the original asking price while modeling your actual offer.

Here's how it works:

Once you enter your offer price, all the financial calculations automatically recalculate using your new number - DSCR, cash-on-cash return, all of it. Makes it super easy to model different offer scenarios without losing the original listing price.

🗺️ Workflow Guide

Here's how most folks are using the platform:

1. Import listings 📥
Use bulk import or our Chrome extension to pull in deals you're tracking.

2. Quick assessment ⚡
Jump to the Financial tab for a fast look at the key metrics - SDE, revenue, asking price. This helps you figure out if it's worth diving deeper and what your initial offer price might be.

3. Add detailed financials 📊
Once you get the CIM (Confidential Information Memorandum), add either summary data or full granular detail from tax returns and P&Ls. You can do full years or partial years - whatever you've got.

4. Review year-over-year insights 🔍
Head to the Cash Flow Analysis tool to see detailed YoY business trends, DSCR calculations, and all those banking metrics we just added.

Quick note: The AI Analysis tab still previews only the last year's financials from the main listing page. The multi-year deep dive happens in Cash Flow Analysis.
