AUIC evaluates projects based on clear financial metrics rather than assumptions. These indicators show how profitable an investment can be and what the project’s future may look like.
📌 Internal Rate of Return (IRR)
IRR reflects the expected profitability of a project. Simply put, it shows how much return the investment can generate over time, taking all costs into account. For AUIC, projects with an IRR of 12% or higher are considered attractive (depending on risk level and investment horizon).
📌 Capital Multiple
This metric shows how much an investor receives compared to the initial investment. For example: if $5M was invested and $10M was earned at exit, the multiple equals 2x. AUIC typically expects a capital multiple in the 1.5x–2.5x range, depending on the growth model, sector, and other factors.
These metrics help AUIC:
✔️select the most promising projects;
✔️balance risk and expected returns;
✔️make decisions based not only on ideas but also on solid calculations.
