Costly. Exhausting. Easy to settle.

  • Months-long evaluations that drain budgets and momentum.
  • Scattered feedback across email, Slack, and spreadsheets no one trusts.
  • Vendor rankings based on marketing, not your actual requirements.
  • Stakeholders misaligned until the final hour — then it’s too late.

1M+ Responses

IT decision intelligence from 4,200+ real evaluations.

Over one million real vendor responses across thousands of evaluations — structured, searchable, and growing with every project. This isn’t scraped reviews or marketing copy. It’s decision data.

AI-Native Engine

Like having an AI IT analyst on your team. 24/7.

Olive doesn’t just assist — it researches, compares, and scores vendors against your specific requirements with analyst-grade rigor. Trained on the full evaluation lifecycle.

Unbiased by Design

No vendor money. No pay-to-play. Ever.

Analyst firms charge vendors six figures to influence their rankings. Olive takes zero. The evaluation serves the buyer and only the buyer.

Accurate technology decisions used to cost six figures and a retainer. Now they cost a login.
