Before you commit to a $50K QoE : a faster, cheaper first read (building it, looking for design partners)

My partner is an operator : built and sold a roll-up, commissioned 20+ QoEs as a buyer and we're now building a pre-QoE screening tool for lower-middle-market buyers. The problem: a formal QoE is $40–150K and takes weeks. There's no fast, cheap way to decide whether a deal is worth that spend, or what to point it at. Buyers either overspend on diligence for deals that die, or skip the screen and get surprised later. The tool: Feed it the financials (GL, statements, CIM). In minutes, it returns the EBITDA adjustments a QoE would likely flag: owner comp, related-party transactions, non-recurring items, working capital, revenue timing. Each comes with supporting GL evidence, a confidence level, and an adjusted-EBITDA range. If you attach a CIM, it flags where the seller's narrative diverges from the ledger. For now, this is a screening tool, not a QoE replacement and not a lender deliverable. It's internal buyer intelligence to size up a deal before you commission the formal work. Honest status: early-stage and founder-run. We've tested it against real deals using their QoEs as the benchmark. It is not a polished product yet, that's what the design partners are for. The offer: 5 slots. A free screening on a live deal you're working, in exchange for direct, critical feedback. NDA available; buyer-side use only; redacted financials are fine. If you have a past closed deal with a QoE you'd be open to sharing for calibration, that's especially valuable. For a slot, or just to pressure-test the idea, comment or DM me with: (1) a deal you'd run it on, (2) what pre-QoE diligence costs you today, (3) what you'd pay if it worked. Skeptical replies welcome, we would rather hear why it's wrong now than after we've built more of it.
