FLOAT: Возможности утечки капитала и триаж — Игра для CFO и операционных партнеров PE с использованием агентного ИИ: 90-минутная диагностика для нахождения скрытых $5.3+ миллионов EBITDA в компаниях среднего рынка с выручкой $50-500 миллионов

If you run a mid-market company between $50M and $500M in revenue, and you have not run a structured EBITDA leakage diagnostic in the last twelve months, the math is clear. Three percentage points of revenue leakage is the median in mid-market firms that have not addressed it — and roughly $5.3M+ of that leakage is recoverable through structured diagnosis. For a $150M reference company, the leakage is $4.5 million a year — $375,000 a month, $12,500 a day. Scale to your firm: $50M loses $125,000 a month; $500M loses $1.25 million a month. That is not a projection. That is not a consultant's pitch. That is what the trailing-twelve-month P&L of a normally-run mid-market company shows. Each month you spend reading one more McKinsey article, scheduling one more vendor demo, or waiting for the next budget cycle, you are burning unrecovered margin. That money is not coming back. Not through a transformation programme or a six-month consulting engagement, but through a structured diagnostic that uses data your CFO already has on hand, identifies three quantifiable EBITDA pockets by lunch, and produces a named pilot workflow by Friday. FLOAT — Firm Leakage Opportunity And Triage — is the 90-minute methodology used by mid-market CFOs and PE Operating Partners tired of being asked: "Where is the EBITDA from all this AI?" If your company is under $25M in revenue, in active turnaround, or you need a McKinsey logo to defend the decision to your board — buy something else. The Strategic EBITDA Acceleration System (SEAS) is the 309-page implementation playbook that takes you from validated diagnostic through the 18-month deployment, the five go/no-go gates, and the audit-ready governance dossier that justifies multiple expansion at exit. Run FLOAT — the 90-minute diagnostic. If it identifies three actionable EBITDA pockets in your firm, the next step is at smartagenticsystems.com. If it identifies nothing meaningful, you have just confirmed your firm is in the top 10% of mid-market operational efficiency — also useful information. There is no scenario in which 90 minutes of structured diagnosis is wasted.
