# Company Teardown
## Purpose
Build a fact-based working view of a company — how it makes money, what it actually costs to run, what its capital intensity looks like, who its customers and suppliers are, and where its risks concentrate — before any valuation or model is built.
The teardown is the foundation. A model built on a misread of the business will be precise and wrong.
## Governing Principle
**Read the business before you read the multiple.**
The model is downstream of the teardown. The valuation is downstream of the model. The recommendation is downstream of the valuation. Skip the teardown and every downstream layer is contaminated.
