Priority comparison

Six priority cases, side by side

Choice, happyhotel, Reeco, Visitt, Chift and Medida AI, from the public desk screen. No numerical attractiveness score is shown because validated financial data does not exist for these companies.

Phase 3 comparative diligence: Choice, happyhotel, Medida AI

Independent public-source preliminary research, not deal-verified investment advice. As of 2026-11-01. Unaffiliated independent research. No issuer or investor has provided non-public data.

Primary existing financial model: Medida
Leading current comparative diligence: Choice

Research-priority labels, not investment approvals

LEAD DILIGENCE, ALTERNATIVE DILIGENCE and EXISTING WATCH MODEL describe the order of further research. No company has been approved for investment, and none of the three has a verified current deal valuation or confirmed investment availability. No numerical scores are shown. Medida's MOIC and IRR on the Investment Decision page are Medida-only and do not apply to Choice or happyhotel.

Read these figures carefully

Paying-restaurant counts are management-reported. Restaurant GMV is not Choice's revenue. Rooms optimized are not necessarily billable rooms. Hotel revenue under management is not happyhotel's revenue. Medida's 2025 annualized revenue rate is not verified subscription ARR. Public pricing is not realized subscription ARPA.

Revenue triangulation: scenario arithmetic

Live formulas mirroring the Phase 3 Excel workbook. Edit the analyst assumptions; reported counts are fixed source data.

Arithmetic cross-checks, not company ARR

Outputs multiply a management-reported count by an analyst assumption. They are not reported ARR, revenue, guidance, an audit, or a valuation. The assumptions are illustrative and are not company data.

Choice (USD): paying restaurants × effective monthly subscription revenue per restaurant × 12

Choice subscription-only sensitivity in US dollars
Choice, USD subscription-only sensitivity	Conservative	Reference	Optimistic
Paying restaurants (management-reported floor, Oct 2026)	9,000	9,000	9,000
Effective monthly subscription revenue per restaurant ($)	Effective monthly subscription revenue per restaurant, Conservative ($)	Effective monthly subscription revenue per restaurant, Reference ($)	Effective monthly subscription revenue per restaurant, Optimistic ($)
Illustrative annualized subscription	$2.16m	$4.32m	$7.02m
Flashpoint ARR threshold (mandate)	$3.00m	$3.00m	$3.00m
Arithmetic surplus / (deficit)	($0.84m)	$1.32m	$4.02m

Required average monthly revenue per restaurant to reach the threshold: $27.78. Excludes payment and transaction income. Public pricing is not realized subscription ARPA.

happyhotel (EUR): optimized rooms × billable share × monthly € per billable room × 12

happyhotel room-based sensitivity in euros

Euro amounts are not converted to dollars and are not compared with the USD mandate threshold: no dated FX assumption exists. Hotel revenue under management is clients' revenue, not happyhotel's.

An artificial split of a 2025 revenue rate. It is not verified subscription ARR, 2026 ARR, or a forecast, and it is separate from the Medida underwriting model.
