The primary acquisition value lies in verified recurring revenue of $2,073/mo at 95% margins, existing customer relationships in the security/threat-intel space, and an established API footprint. Building an equivalent threat-intelligence platform with SIEM integration, STIX/TAXII compliance, and OpenCTI interop from scratch would require 14–18 weeks and $8K–$18K in AI-assisted development costs for the core API and dashboard. However, reproducing the customer base, market credibility, and ongoing integrations would be far more difficult and time-consuming than building the software. At a 1.48x multiple of annual profit ($23,640), the acquisition cost is low relative to the revenue stream and customer traction being purchased; the buy case is supported by verified margins and the difficulty of acquiring security/threat-intel customers organically.

Cash estimate includes the AI tools, APIs and infrastructure needed for a solo founder to recreate the software. Build time is informational and lightly weighted. The verdict is driven mainly by customers, users, verified earnings, retention, distribution, brand, data and operating history.
