Risk Score Breakdown
Revenue appears less concentrated, pending direct verification.
Traffic risk is present but does not overwhelm the deal by itself.
Listing claims need direct platform access before pricing makes sense.
Extension transfer has account, vendor, or platform handoff risk.
A single platform can materially change revenue after purchase.
Retention concern is moderate relative to the asset type.
Red Flags
- Core claims are not yet backed by direct, read-only source access.
- Transfer path could break value if accounts, rights, or platform assets cannot move cleanly.
- Revenue depends heavily on a platform whose rules the buyer does not control.
- Missing proof: Chrome Web Store transfer steps.
- Missing proof: Extension permission audit.
Missing Evidence
