Evaluate
Are you ready?
We assess your technology, product, and team before high-stakes decisions so you can move forward with confidence. Independent, Forensic, Actionable.
You can't manage what you can't see
Most companies discover critical technical issues at the worst possible time:
Scenario 1
During Due Diligence
The acquirer found problems we didn’t know existed. Our valuation dropped 20%.
What if you’d known six months earlier?
Scenario 2
After the Close
This acquisition can’t integrate with our platform. The whole investment thesis is broken.
What if you’d known before signing?
Scenario 3
When Scaling Hits a Wall
Our architecture can’t handle the growth. We’re rewriting everything under pressure.
What if you’d known before raising Series B?
By the time problems surface, your options are limited.
We assess technical reality before decisions are made—while you still have time to act, negotiate, or walk away.

How Assessment Works
From Question to Answer in less than 60 Days. These assessments are for decision-makers.
Kickoff
Every project starts with Discovery. We challenge assumptions, identify gaps, and propose solutions based on decades of experience.
Investigation
We work with your designers or ours to create easy-to-use interfaces that delight users.
Analysis
We prototype critical flows early to surface user insights and resolve technical risks before development.
Delivery
We develop iteratively, partnering with your team and gathering regular feedback from users and stakeholders.
Every assessment is conducted by an Olio principal—not delegated to junior staff.
