A comparable-company analysis that selects similar public companies, compares their trading measures and operating results, and applies the resulting range to a target company. Trading measures are market-based ratios used to compare company values.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to build a peer comparison table, calculate median and quartile measures, and estimate an implied valuation range for a company.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

comps-analysis scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 228 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Comparable Company Analysis

Builds a trading comps set where the peer selection is defensible, the multiples are calculated consistently, and the implied range carries its assumptions in the open.

When NOT to Use

  • Intrinsic valuation from cash flows — outside this skill's scope.
  • Leveraged buyout returns analysis — outside this skill's scope.
  • Precedent M&A transactions — a different dataset with control premiums
  • Post-results company research with no multiples — use earnings-note instead.
  • Pre-results research or initiating coverage — outside this package; request a verified host research destination or identify the workspace administrator as dependency owner.

Hand off rather than overlap:

  • Cash flow valuation and terminal value — outside this skill's scope.
  • Sponsor returns and capital structure — outside this skill's scope.
  • Investment committee recommendation — use ic-memo instead.
  • Company profile or tear sheet — use company-profile-pack instead.
  • Rendering metrics as a table or card — use render-ui instead.
  • Demand and supply planning review — outside this skill's scope.
  • Contract clause comparison — outside this skill's scope.
  • Budget or target consolidation — outside this skill's scope.

Workflow

1. Define the target and the screening criteria

Establish the target company and the basis for the peer set before naming any peers. State the criteria explicitly — industry and sub-sector, size range, geography, growth profile, margin profile, and business model.

Peer selection is the entire analysis. A comps table whose selection rule is unstated is not reviewable, so write the rule down first and let the names follow from it.

State the question the table has to answer, because it decides which columns earn their place:

Question Lead with Leave out
Which company is undervalued? EV/Revenue, EV/EBITDA, P/E, market cap Operating detail, growth metrics
Which is most efficient? Gross, EBITDA and FCF margin, asset turnover Size metrics, absolute dollars
Which is growing fastest? Revenue growth, EBITDA CAGR, customer growth Margin metrics, leverage
Which generates the most cash? FCF, FCF margin, FCF conversion, capex intensity EBITDA, P/E

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
