How it works
From your numbers to a market reference you can check line by line
No black box and no spreadsheet to reverse-engineer. Every figure traces back to the deals and disclosures behind it.
01
Set up your business
Name, industry, where you operate and how much you own. Two minutes, private to your account.
02
Add your numbers — quickly or fully
Quick entry takes one current snapshot: revenue, EBITDA (adjusted where that applies) and the date it reflects. Full history takes years or quarters, entered or uploaded — the original file is kept and you see exactly what was read from it before anything is accepted.
03
Ownsera compares it against real disclosed transactions
Acquisitions are read from public company filings and their attached press releases, held with the exact sentence behind every figure, and duplicate reports of the same deal merged into one record. Where a figure was never disclosed, it stays undisclosed.
04
Track the range as your business and the market move
Each point in your history uses only the evidence that was public at that date, so the past is never rewritten. Where a period has no defensible basis, you get a gap and an explanation — never an invented number.
Every figure keeps the sentence it came from
A filing, the press release attached to it, and the individual facts read out of both.

Extracted fact
Target EBITDA · undisclosed
No EBITDA figure is stated for the target. Nothing is estimated in its place.
Illustrative record shown in the shape Ownsera stores. Figures that were never disclosed stay undisclosed, and a deal missing what it needs is held out of the comparison set rather than completed by assumption.
Why a deal counted — factor by factor
Each comparable transaction carries a relevance score from 0 to 100, broken out rather than asserted.

Illustrative weights for one fictional comparison. In the product, each factor is shown per deal so you can see what drove the score and set the evidence aside if you disagree with it.
Two ways to start
Start light. Go deeper whenever you want.
Moving from a quick snapshot to full history keeps everything you already entered. You never start again.
Quick entry
One current period, a few minutes. You get today's illustrative market reference with its as-of date and the method behind it.
Full history
Multiple periods, entered or uploaded. You get tracking over time — annual or quarterly where your own figures support it — and a clear read on what moved: your trading performance, or the market.
Illustrative Market Reference
EV / EBITDA range tracked quarter by quarter, with each point using only the deals public at that date.
Illustrative figures for a fictional business. Where the evidence at a given date does not support a defensible range, Ownsera shows a gap and says why — it does not fill it in.
