You're ready to sell. Make sure your digital product is ready, too.
Find hidden product weaknesses yourself, rather than have a buyer uncover them during due diligence.

Needs work
What to improve
Simplify onboarding
Cut first-session drop-off by trimming setup down to three steps.
Ship an AI differentiator

Pay down feature debt
Retire the modules nobody touches before they become a diligence red flag.
What we offer
A full picture of what's ready for a successful exit, and what isn't.
We look at your product the way a buyer will, before they do. How it's really used, whether it holds up against your roadmap and growth story, whether you're exposed to AI-native competitors entering your category, where the risk sits, and where you're stronger than you're giving yourself credit for. Fifteen working days gets you a clear picture of what's ready, what needs fixing, and the story you can tell with confidence.

AI differentiation
"Your product, your product-market fit, and how you land your proposition sit at the heart of any business's value. We brought in Lean Otter to look at our product the way a buyer would, and they found opportunities for growth we'd missed from the inside."
Anna Rasmussen
CEO & Founder at OpenBlend & Vokser
How it works
From first conversation to final report in 15 working days
Step 1
Talk and scope
A working session on where the product's been, what a buyer will actually scrutinise, and what to focus on, then we agree access to your data, roadmap, and customers.
Step 2
Assess
We use the product ourselves, dig into the usage data, and talk directly to real customers, not just the ones who will say nice things. Every assessment also checks how exposed you are to AI-native competitors entering your category.
Step 3
Report & debrief
Findings, risks and strengths alike, go into a draft you see first, then your full set of reports, walked through with you once you've read them.
Behind the work
The product read is always shallow.
Across our team, we've worked inside PE-backed companies and helped businesses get ready to sell. We've seen financial, legal, and technical diligence be rigorous, every time. The product read almost never is. That's the gap we built Lean Otter to close.
