A WORKING THESIS · NOT A FINAL ANSWER

Make the assumptions
something you can test.

Start with a clear hypothesis about the kind of business you want to own. Separate what you can filter for from what research must establish.

THESIS TO RESEARCH FICTIONAL EXAMPLE

“I’m interested in recurring commercial services within driving distance of Charlotte.”

Queryable criteria: Use geography, industry, employee count, and estimated earnings to narrow the universe.
Research questions: How much work actually recurs? How dependent is the company on its owner? What evidence supports the seller’s story?
Decision record: Save Northstar with the thesis rationale. Update it as evidence strengthens or challenges the initial view.

Recurring revenue and owner dependence are research questions here, not promised database filters.

PREPARED METHODS FOR YOUR OWN AGENT

Spend less time
rebuilding the prompt.

Use the acquisition skills library to structure the next analytical task. You still examine the evidence and judge whether the output is useful.

RESEARCH

Company research

Start with the company identity and known context. The method examines public evidence and operating status, including uncertainty.

BEFORE YOU START

Built for the work
beyond the classroom.

Keep the thesis, company evidence, and next step together as your search becomes more specific.

Do I need to be enrolled in an MBA program?

No. This workflow is for anyone applying an acquisition thesis to a search. You do not need a particular degree or institution to use the free platform.

Is this a course or a coaching program?

SoloSearcher provides a search workspace, target-list access, and prepared skills. It does not promise course instruction, personal coaching, investor introductions, or a funded search.

Can I use it with my existing AI agent?

Prepared skills run through your own supported agent when the workspace integration is available. Your provider’s charges are separate. You can also use the workspace manually.

From a thesis on paper
to companies worth researching.

Start a search, test your assumptions, and keep the evidence with each opportunity.
