Read the transcript

Across the companies you own, where are the biggest opportunities to grow? Ontevo starts with a fifty-point diagnostic, using over five thousand customer and market signals to compare each business with its competitors. For this local service business, social comments keep asking the same thing: can I come after work? That recurring demand becomes a growth idea: test evening appointments. A Truth Card brings the evidence, estimated revenue opportunity and assumptions together. Alongside growth, we examine the cost structure for efficiencies, like reducing repeated administration while protecting time with customers. Compare the growth and cost ideas by financial impact, customer value and effort, so the most useful opportunities rise to the top. Now you can see where each company could grow, where costs could fall, and what deserves your attention first.

Diagnostic engine

Give operators a recommendation they can work with.

A 50-point diagnostic explains where each business differs from direct competitors and what its team should investigate or change.

Sample Ontevo Truth Card: a return-rate finding priced at $14,200 a month, annotated with the model, the rival, the evidence and the drafted fix.

Pre-acquisition diligence

Scan a target during your diligence window and get a dollar-priced Truth Card in days: the revenue leak that becomes your 100-day playbook. Waived if you don't close.

Portfolio triage

Every portco through one engine, in a single weekly view, so you see which of your businesses is leaking what, ranked by dollar impact.

Post-close value creation

Turn diligence findings into a standing per-portco fix list your operators actually execute, not a deck that goes stale in six months.

New-vertical entry

Buy into a new vertical and get a vertical-specific diagnostic on day one: one engine covers HVAC, dental, e-comm and the rest, no new tool per portco.

The scaling trap

Use your operating time where it can make a difference.

Look across offering gaps, reputation and visibility to decide which issues need the operator, a shared resource or further investigation.

No portfolio-level view

Marketing intelligence at each portco is 'ask the GM to forward their reviews dashboard.' There's no single view of revenue leak across the portfolio.

The playbook is you

5+ portco strategy calls a week, all held in your head. The thesis was: standardize operations, multiply output. But every decision still routes through one person.

Shared resources need clear priorities

Operators need to know which problems they can address locally and where a shared specialist would help. Inconsistent reporting makes that decision harder.

The job to be done

See which opportunities need local action and which deserve support across the portfolio.

HOW IT WORKS

Review different businesses in the same format.

Truth Cards bring the evidence, proposed change and estimated revenue impact into one place for your operating review.

1

Days 1–14
Diagnose the asset
A 50-point diagnostic benchmarks every company across Offering & Demand, Reputation, Search, Website and AI Visibility against 25M+ records and its 10 direct competitors, not abstract industry averages.

2

Every week
Price the leak
Every finding renders in owner vocabulary (Revenue Leakage, Utilization, Inventory Risk) with a confidence score and a dollar figure. One format across every business.

3

For as long as you own it
Draft the fix
13+ Evo Agents draft review responses, fix lists, page rewrites, and concept validation. You're the marketing department for all of them; the software does the labor.
The Differentiator

Use it on the next deal, too.

Run a Pre-Acquisition Diagnostic on your next target during diligence: the Truth Card becomes the 100-day post-close playbook. Pricing waived if you don't close.

Why it wins here

Keep the recommendation specific to the business.

A product brand and a local service company need different work. Compare each one with its own competitors before setting the priority.

Scales past 5 portcos

One engine covers 10–50 portcos: no founder bottleneck, no per-portco tool sprawl.

One weekly rollup

Per-portco Truth Cards in a single cross-portfolio view, in CFO vocabulary. The Truth Card stack spreadsheets can't build.

Drafts the fix

Drafting agents prepare proposed changes for each company. Your operators review the work, add context and approve what moves forward.

Benchmarks you can't build alone

Every company is scored against its 10 direct competitors, a cohort built spec by spec for each business. You see where each one truly stands, not just against its own history.

Agree the scope before starting across the portfolio.

Discuss the companies, review cadence and intended use with our team. We will confirm Portfolio scope, pricing and terms before you proceed.

What HoldCo founders ask first

What a scan reads. Public pages, listings, reviews and competitor pages. No patient records, no client logins, no CRM connection. Nothing you or your client sends us trains a public model. Every external write is draft-only behind your approval queue. SOC 2 Type I and HIPAA readiness are in progress. Details on our Security page.

Do my portcos have to cooperate to start?

The first diagnostic uses public information, so you can begin without internal-system access. Involve the operator to check the context and agree which recommendations to act on.

How much of my time does this take?

Set a regular review with each operator to inspect findings and approve proposed work. The time needed depends on the number of companies, the findings and the actions you choose.

What happens if I sell a portco mid-contract?

Per-portco pricing scales down cleanly; it's not a fixed-fee loss. Add portcos as you acquire, remove them as you exit.

I'm tempted to build this in-house. Why not?

The vertical ontology and 25M-record cohort benchmark are years to replicate, and building it diverts you from what you're actually good at: acquisition. It's priced to make build-vs-buy an easy call.

What's the commitment?

Pricing is based on the companies in scope. Agree the Portfolio plan and billing terms on a call before starting. Use “Discuss your portfolio” to agree the scope. The Rapid Scan form above previews one business.
