Your prompt

Screen these acquisition candidates for [your company]: [list 3-5 candidates with one line each on why]. Score each 1-5 on: strategic fit (does it accelerate our thesis?), revenue quality, team quality, integration difficulty, and price reasonableness (based on what I tell you). Rank them, name the single best target and its single biggest risk, and give me the 5 due-diligence questions that would kill the deal fastest if the answers come back bad.

Paste it into Muse or any assistant. Blank fields stay as [brackets].
