See the whole system working on a real company
Ten demonstration businesses across nine industries — a machining shop weighing a $30.5M offer, an HVAC roll-up short on cash, a nine-asset commercial real estate group facing a refinance wall, an investor running 23 doors and six flips, a SaaS founder choosing between a round and an exit. Each one is run through BK-OS end to end, with the numbers, the findings, and the recommendation fully open.

Sample brief · Regional HVAC roll-up, US Sun Belt
Fragmentation is peaking; two consolidators are moving first.
The Sun Belt residential HVAC market remains 70%+ owner-operator, but two private-equity-backed platforms have closed 14 tuck-ins in the last 9 months. Labor supply — not demand — is the binding constraint through 2027.
Market signals
- Two PE-backed platforms (Redwood Services, Wrench Group) accounted for 14 of 22 announced Sun Belt tuck-ins in the last 9 months.
- EPA 2025 refrigerant phase-down is pulling forward replacement demand into 2026 by an estimated 6-9 months across the region.
- Certified technician supply is contracting ~3%/yr while permits are up ~11%/yr — pricing power sits with whoever controls the labor pool.
Ideation angles
- Own the technician pipeline before the deal — sponsor a regional trade-school cohort with guaranteed placement, not the reverse.
- Package a 'compliance-ready' seller kit (EPA 608 audit, warranty transfer, permit backlog cleanup) — sellers close 40% faster with it in hand.
- Bundle maintenance memberships across acquired books immediately at close; recurring revenue is what re-rates the multiple, not headline EBITDA.
