0 Economic Value Created by the Proposed Synergy Provide quantitative estimates for the value that can be unlocked if the proposed synergy is realised and any costs incurred to realise it. Offer a clear unit to unit comparison to explain the economic value generated (or not) by the deal. For example, compare the unit economics before and after the deal by using data from the income statement of the focal business to estimate the cost per unit and profit per unit before and after the deal. Create a crisp, focused answer based on an unambiguous claim supported by relevant empirical evidence and/or logical argumentation. Claims such as "substantial operational synergies from X and Y" may come across as vague and unsubstantiated if not supported by logical arguments and relevant data. Explicitly identify any assumptions behind your claims. Use tables and charts to summarise and present quantitative data. Show, don't tell. Do not include generic claims that do not add value to the analysis [replace the text in this paragraph with your statements]. Figure # - Title INSERT HERE ANY SUPPORTING FIGURE/DIAGRAM/CHART/ETC.
