Questions buyers ask before submitting.

A structured acquisition memo delivered to your inbox. It includes a Stratos Score (0–100), a decisive verdict (Proceed with Confidence, Proceed with Caution, or Walk Away), risk cards with severity ratings and specific questions to ask the seller, valuation context benchmarked against industry ranges, GO IF and DO NOT PROCEED IF decision triggers, and a prioritized list of what to validate before you advance the deal.

The analysis is grounded in a deterministic scoring framework and reviewed before delivery. More complete and accurate submissions produce more precise outputs. Stratos is designed to surface structural risks, validate assumptions, and pressure-test acquisition logic throughout the acquisition process.

Neither. Stratos is acquisition decision support at any stage — structured analytical thinking applied to the deal before you commit to formal diligence. It is not a QoE, not an audit, and not a substitute for professional financial review. Think of it as the first serious pressure-test of your assumptions before you spend real capital.

Most analyses are delivered within 1–3 business days depending on current review volume. Many reports are delivered significantly sooner. Every analysis is reviewed before delivery, so timing may vary based on submission completeness.

Yes. Your submission is used solely to produce your analysis. Stratos has no relationship with the broker, seller, or any party to the transaction. We do not share, sell, or disclose deal information to any third party. Submissions are handled with strict confidentiality.

Every analysis is reviewed by an operator with acquisition experience before delivery. We do not ship unreviewed output.

Stratos works best on SMB acquisitions where you have at least headline financials, an asking price, and some context on the business and ownership structure. Service businesses, home services, healthcare, B2B, retail, and similar. The more complete your submission, the more precise the output. Thin data produces a more cautious, less specific analysis.

Not currently. Submissions are intake-form based and rely on buyer-provided financial and operational context. Document uploads may be added in future versions.

$995 per analysis during our founding cohort period, increasing to $1,250 as capacity fills. Payment is collected before delivery.

Yes. The analysis is still useful for validating assumptions and preparing for diligence. That said, it is especially valuable before LOI — also useful during diligence, negotiation, and before close — when the verdict can actually change your decision about whether to proceed.

That is completely reasonable. The memo is decision support, not a mandate. Stratos surfaces risks, validates structure, and identifies what needs to be true for the deal to work — you make the final call.

No. Stratos helps validate assumptions and contextualize valuation — it does not provide negotiation advice, offer recommendations, or transaction structuring guidance.

No. Stratos output is analytical and informational. It does not constitute legal, financial, tax, or investment advice and should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional advisory services. Any decisions you make are solely your responsibility.
