Still good but hardly fresh for a specialty.

Anyway. There’s a 6x number in here that somebody (or somebodies) completely missed…

Seems like what they thought was a fair-to-good deal was actually a such a terrible deal that, given their incorrect definition of a unit, the numbers in their model lined up.

That might be something the consultant could have spotted, since they’d seen the numbers around previous deals. I’m not sure it’s their duty/obligation to.

Was going to say this, I work at a specialty coffee shop and anything over 2-3 weeks is unusable.
