Enterprise value has gone from $327.48B at entry to $4017.93B today; $5460.18B of the plan remains to the $9478.11B exit. The prize is multiple expansion — push recurring mix from 25% toward 45% and bank the $954M of open synergy before exit.

Wind Point underwrites a Value Creation Plan from entry to exit. Pavion has gone from ~$100M to $44.05B of revenue; the prize from here is multiple expansion — recurring revenue re-rates the business, and monitoring RMR is valued separately at 30–50×. This is the screen that tracks it.

Why recurring re-rates the business

The multiple ladder

Recurring mix moves the EBITDA multiple. At 25%, Pavion sits in the platform tier — every point toward 45% pulls it up.

The hidden asset

Monitoring RMR · valued at 30–50×

Recurring monitoring revenue trades on its own convention — separate from, and on top of, the EBITDA multiple.

Monitoring ARR (ON-X + Central Station)$4.71B
Monthly recurring revenue (RMR)$392.8M
Implied value @ 30× / 40× / 50×$11.78B / $15.71B / $19.64B

So what: growing the monitoring book (attach ON-X on every install) creates value at 30–50× — far above the 617.26× the whole company trades at. It's the single highest-return dollar in the plan.

Wind Point's playbook in action: put acquired companies on Pavion's insurance, fleet, purchasing and systems. $954M of run-rate is still to capture — the same work that finishes integration and flips the newest brands to office-grain actuals.
