$4M EBITDA is a beast of a target. Nice work getting this under exclusivity. One note from the trenches: At $20M revenue, the 'Digital Factory Floor' (ERP/MRP systems) is usually the invisible choke point. If the steel fabrication is solid but the SQL database is running on a 2003 server, you have a hidden Capex liability on Day 1. Hope the diligence phase stays boring.
