Who are your customers, the source and quality of the revenue? Have you been through a renewal cycle yet? Is a big question that a lot of investors miss. I'm looking for, have they gone through a renewal cycle? What happened?
Did the ACV grow at that renewal? Did they add more product to it? Or did it shrink or not renew?

I'm looking for something like that. Did they have this second product that came out? Was it welcomed in the market? If you didn't have a great first experience, you're not going to say yes to the second product.

I would honestly say they're probably worth more as cash than they are as independent companies. And some of them have made the choice to refund the cash back to the investors, sell off the assets.
