What we sell

Three digital products. No physical goods, no managed accounts, no courses with upsells — you pay the listed price, the publication arrives in your inbox, and a 14-day refund policy stands behind every purchase.

01

Subscription publicationThe Honest Multiple Brief

A short intelligence brief for self-directed investors, published three times a week. Each issue covers upcoming catalysts and earnings dates, notable moves and what actually explains them, and one company run through our full dual-protocol evaluation with the arithmetic shown.

  • Free edition: one issue per week, no card required
  • Paid edition: all three weekly issues, plus the full scored company evaluation
  • Cancel any time in two clicks; access runs to the end of the paid period
US$19 per month, paid subscription

Billed monthly through Stripe. The free edition stays free — it is how we earn the upgrade.

02

Commissioned researchDeep-Dive Research Report

A fixed-price, fixed-scope report on a public company you choose, delivered within 48 hours of order. Financials, growth quality, catalysts, risks, and a full dual-protocol valuation — written to be checked, not just read.

  • Relative-value scoring (EV/GP/RG, cash-flow proxy, Rule of 40)
  • Two-stage discounted-cash-flow valuation and margin of safety
  • Sources cited throughout, drawn from SEC filings and published financial data
  • One round of follow-up questions included
US$49–149 per report, one-time payment

The exact price is quoted before you pay and depends only on the company's size and data availability — never on the conclusion.

03

Digital downloadPortfolio Evaluation Toolkit

The dual-protocol framework as a ready-to-use spreadsheet and written guide, so you can run the same evaluation on your own holdings: enter a company's figures once and get its relative-value score, tier, DCF inputs, and margin of safety laid out the way our reports present them.

  • Spreadsheet with all formulas open and inspectable — nothing black-boxed
  • Guide covering inputs, sector adjustments, and the protocol's hard rules
  • Lifetime updates to the toolkit as the framework is revised
US$39 one-time payment, instant download

Delivered as a spreadsheet file plus PDF guide immediately after checkout.

The method, in brief

Every company we publish on is run through the same two complementary methods. Method 1 asks how cheaply the market prices a company's growth engine. Method 2 asks what the company's cash flows are actually worth. Neither is allowed to carry a conclusion on its own.

Method 1 — Relative value

EV/GP/RG = EV ÷ (Gross Profit × Fwd Revenue Growth %)

Three weighted metrics produce a score and a tier (A, B, or C):

  • EV/GP/RG — enterprise value against gross profit scaled by forward growth. Below 0.20 is the compounding zone.
  • Adjusted OCF proxy — how the market values the gross-profit stream relative to its cash earnings power.
  • Rule of 40 — forward revenue growth plus EBITDA margin; 40 or above passes the quality gate.

Hard rules: negative EBITDA, no gross profit, or negative forward growth caps a company at Tier C, whatever the other numbers say.

Method 2 — Cash-flow value & margin of safety

MoS% = [(Average Intrinsic Value − Price) ÷ Price] × 100

Two parallel two-stage discounted-cash-flow models — one on operating cash flow, one on free cash flow — are averaged into a single intrinsic value per share, then compared with the market price:

  • +40% or more — strong undervaluation
  • +20% to +40% — meaningful undervaluation
  • +5% to +20% — modest undervaluation; selective, quality businesses only
  • 0% to −5% — fairly valued
  • Below −5% — overvalued on this method

If a company produces no cash flow, the model honestly returns roughly zero — which means the framework cannot value it, not that it is worthless.

The golden rule: a company must score well on both methods to earn a high-conviction ranking. A strong Method 1 with a negative margin of safety is a warning; a positive margin of safety with a weak Method 1 is a reason to pause. We publish the disagreements, not just the agreements.

Try the arithmetic yourself

The same formulas, live. Enter a company's figures — from its filings or our reports — and see the three headline numbers our publications lead with.

EV / GP / RG — Lower is cheaper growth.
Rule of 40 — Growth + EBITDA margin.
Margin of safety — Intrinsic value vs. price.

Illustrative tool only. Outputs follow the interpretation bands published in our framework; they are not a recommendation to buy or sell any security.

The standard every product is held to

The name is the business model. A publication earns its price only if a careful reader finishes it feeling they received a bargain — and can verify that feeling against the sources.

01Original analysis, not aggregation

Every score and valuation is computed by us from primary inputs. Where we rely on analyst consensus figures, they are labelled as such and cross-checked.

02Assumptions shown, always

Growth rates, discount rates, and share counts appear next to every conclusion. A reader who disagrees with an assumption can re-run the number their way.

03Sources cited

Figures trace to SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q, Form 4) and published financial data. If a number cannot be sourced, it does not ship.

04No personalised advice

Publications are educational and general in nature. They are not tailored to any reader's situation, and nothing in them is a recommendation to buy or sell a security.

05No return promises

We never promise, project, or imply investment returns. DCF models are sensitive to assumptions — a two-point change in growth can move intrinsic value by 20–40% — and we say so in the work itself.

06Corrections in the open

When we get a number wrong, the correction is published in the next issue and the original is annotated, not quietly edited.

Important disclaimer

Everything Honest Multiple publishes is for educational and informational purposes only. Nothing we sell or publish constitutes financial advice, investment advice, or a recommendation or solicitation to buy, sell, or hold any security, and nothing is tailored to any individual reader's financial situation, objectives, or risk tolerance. Stock markets are volatile, past performance does not predict future results, and valuation models are sensitive to their assumptions. Always verify figures against the latest SEC filings, do your own research, and consider consulting a registered financial advisor before making investment decisions.
