What This Skill Does

The olo-deal-screening skill is an advanced M&A evaluation tool designed for Private Equity (PE) firms and strategic corporate development teams. It automates the initial due diligence phase by applying a standardized, multi-dimensional scoring framework to potential acquisition targets. By assessing five critical pillars—Strategic Fit, Financial Profile, Valuation Attractiveness, Risk Profile, and Execution Feasibility—this skill ensures consistent, data-driven investment decision-making. It includes built-in 'deal-breaker' logic that triggers auto-fails for criteria like revenue thresholds or regulatory exposure, saving analysts significant time in the early stage of a potential transaction.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/aniebyl/olo-deal-screening

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for:

• Private Equity Analysts: Rapidly filtering hundreds of incoming CIMs (Confidential Information Memoranda) to identify high-potential targets that match fund investment theses.
• Corporate Development Teams: Evaluating bolt-on acquisitions to ensure target companies align with long-term portfolio strategy and synergy goals.
• Investment Bankers: Pre-screening a target's viability to provide clients with a reality check on whether an acquisition will meet strict internal investment committees (IC) standards.

Example Prompts

1. "Screen the Acme Corp CIM against our current portfolio criteria: $50M+ revenue, >15% EBITDA margins, and a focus on SaaS platforms in the EMEA region."
2. "Evaluate the deal-breaker risk for the proposed acquisition of TechStream. Focus on their current litigation status and verify if they meet our 3x leverage capacity requirement."
3. "Score the following target based on our recent quarterly strategy update. Focus heavily on valuation attractiveness and explain why the exit path might be limited."

Tips & Limitations

• Data Quality: The quality of the scoring is directly proportional to the accuracy of the input documents. Ensure you have the latest financial statements and market reports accessible.
• Subjective Interpretation: While the tool provides quantitative scores, always interpret results within the context of qualitative market shifts.
• Thresholds: Customize the deal-breaker triggers to match your specific fund mandate; the default settings are standard but may require tuning for niche sectors or distressed debt strategies.
