Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
Explain how you would approach a paper LBO and what steps you would take.
Walk through the framework you would use, including sources and uses, entry valuation, operating assumptions, debt paydown, exit valuation, and sponsor returns. Explain how you would test the model under different operating, leverage, and exit-multiple assumptions. No company-specific financials or numerical assumptions are provided, so focus on the modeling sequence, formulas, required checks, and decision outputs.
