Analyze how a private SaaS company's ARR valuation multiple changed across funding rounds, and attribute the compression or expansion to rate cycles and macro selloffs, growth deceleration, narrative shifts (including an AI premium), competition, and investor demand, benchmarked against private-market medians and peers. Use this skill whenever the user asks about valuation compression, ARR multiples, round-to-round valuation or multiple changes, down rounds, or wants to compare a VC-backed software company's funding rounds. Research the rounds rather than answering from memory.
