Start with the category of solution
| Approach | Usually fits | Main diligence risk |
|---|---|---|
| Connected operating platform | Teams that want CRM, challenge workflows, dashboards, payouts, and automation in one operating layer | Confirm required sports-data, payment, identity, and custom integration boundaries |
| Packaged sports prop platform | Teams prioritizing a predefined sports and picks experience with a launch package | Confirm operator workflow depth, data portability, and configurability |
| Custom build | Teams with genuinely proprietary product logic and sustained engineering capacity | Underestimating back-office, QA, support, security, reporting, and maintenance |
Score the capabilities that determine operating quality
Publicly visible options
Olatech publicly emphasizes a connected CRM and front-end operating layer for funded sports and sports prop-style workflows. SportsPropTech publicly emphasizes sports coverage, pick formats, challenge management, backend tools, and a packaged launch path. A custom build remains a third option when the business can own the engineering lifecycle.
How to produce a defensible shortlist
- Write the operating model and must-pass workflows.
- Use the same RFP and demonstration script for each vendor.
- Record unknowns rather than treating unlisted features as absent.
- Run technical, migration, commercial, and operational diligence separately.
- Select only after acceptance criteria and ownership are documented.
