Feedback on lower middle market evaluation tool

I made a tool specifically for transactions between $1M and $20M to help buyers and sellers figure out a value range and why. It sucks so far and I'd like real buyers to try it and tell me what's good and what's bad. Free at www.valuejig.com
It walks you through the stuff that actually moves value - customer concentration, revenue quality, owner dependence - and explains the impact in plain English. Based on looking at >800 directly sourced deals (PE) in the last 5 years. Built it because I was tired of mismatched price expectations and the lack of guidance out there geared towards these deals. Figured there had to be a cheap and easy way to get what I know from evaluating deals in front of the people who could benefit.
