Pavion grows two ways from the outside in: signals (a customer's expansion or distress) that create demand, and acquisitions that add scale. This view turns both into action — every signal carries an implied move, and the M&A funnel is sized against the $9.99B of borrowing headroom available to fund it.

Priority: the LOI/IOI targets ($55M) fit High and add recurring density (monitoring, AV) where utilization and margin are weakest — and they sit comfortably inside the $9.99B of debt headroom. Each one also flips a region from estimate to actuals as it integrates.
