Did you know what you actually bought before you closed?

Quick question for anyone who has been through a close.
The QoE validated your EBITDA. Your attorney reviewed the contracts. Your advisor signed off.
But did anyone show you what the dispatch system actually was? Whether there was a real customer database or just a founder with a good memory and a full contact list? Whether the month-end close took three days or three weeks?
29% of acquired SMBs have zero CRM. Not a bad CRM. Zero.
How many people here discovered the actual operating infrastructure of their business before close versus after? Would love to hear how it played out.
