Results
This is where operator results live. Every case study published here is a real operator’s real numbers, verified against their own Keystone history, with at least 8 points of real Business Independence Score movement behind it, and published only with their written consent. That standard is why the page looks the way it does today.
We publish a case study only when a real operator has reached a Thriving health state in Keystone and gained at least 8 points of Business Independence Score, and only with their written consent. The numbers are their actual score movement and their actual value movement, verified against their history. Nothing is rounded up and nothing is projected.
What you will never find here: invented testimonials, composite “representative” operators, stock photos presented as customers, or a “trusted by thousands” counter. If we have not earned the proof, the proof is not on the page.
Peer proof is earned one operator at a time. Market proof already exists, and it is the reason the diagnostic is worth four minutes of your time.
The estimate behind every Keystone result is calibrated against 10 years of BizBuySell Insight Reports: 40 quarterly reports, 2016–2026, covering real closed transactions.
86% of small business owners have no professional valuation or only a rough estimate (BizBuySell 2024 owner survey). Most owners are managing their largest asset without a number.
An owner-dependent service business sells near 1.65× SDE; an owner-independent one near 3.5× (BizBuySell). On a $300,000-SDE business that gap is $555,000 on identical earnings.
