Investor take
PursueStrong opportunity: asset-holding vehicle with strong profile and acceptable with review structure.

Biggest value-creation lever: Consolidate lender relationships. 15 distinct lenders creates friction — refinance into single-lender structure for cleaner diligence. Most likely exit: share sale to pe / searcher (45/100).
