Curious what the consensus on QoE services would be. I hear of many searchers skipping this process due to its steep cost, I hear of others mandating it in their diligence process and racking up the expense over several LOIs.
Has anyone come across something like this in the market? Is there any demand for something like this?
What do these QoE service providers do that plugging up an ERP + other source systems to an algo cannot do (assuming you're not looking at a business doing napkin + spreadsheet accounting)?
Would you pay for an AI generated QoE?

I tested everything on the market for FP&A and similar tools and they were all mediocre at best, so we're building exactly what you're describing, and we're in Alpha mode right now.
These answers were spot on - it's not an end all be all to match what a high-quality QoE should be. The software will have to rely on the source data, but it will use a combination of automation, AI and other techniques to identify potential issues and transactions. We will be selling a software only version, but focusing on selling our same QoE consulting engagements paired with the software to create the ultimate QoE at a better price by shaving 60% of the time off.
The benefits are:
1) Expedited QoEs done in about###-###-#### weeks
2) lower cost -> really will be helpful for searchers
3) significantly better accuracy and detail (thus finding more issues)
Feel free to DM me if anyone is interested in being part of the testing cohort in exchange for free access to the software
