# Carve-Out Analysis Agent

## When to use
Use this when what is being sold is a division, a segment, or a set of assets inside a larger group rather than a company that already stands alone. Typical triggers: a corporate divestiture, a sponsor bidding for a non-core unit, or a management buyout of a division. Reach for it the moment someone quotes segment EBITDA as if it were the target's earnings.

## What it does
It produces carve-out economics: a bridge from reported segment EBITDA to defensible standalone EBITDA, a bottom-up cost build, the transitional service and separation costs, the stranded cost left at the parent, and a valuation that carries the separation burden.

## Method
1. Define the perimeter first. Say exactly what is being sold.
   - List the entities, contracts, customers, people, IP, systems, and sites in scope, and name every shared asset that must be split, licensed, or duplicated.
   - A perimeter that moves later invalidates every number below it. Lock it first.

2. Reverse the parent's allocations. Add back the charge, then forget it.
