How We Actually Got Started
Back in early 2019, our founder Maya was consulting for a mid-sized manufacturing company in Brisbane. They were considering a major supplier change — potentially millions in commitments — but the financial comparison tools available were either too basic or impossibly complex.
That's when it clicked. Australian businesses needed something in between: sophisticated enough to handle real complexity, but clear enough that you don't need an MBA to understand the results.
We spent the rest of that year building what became lorientexis's core methodology. Not flashy, not revolutionary — just thorough, honest comparative analysis that helps you see the full financial picture before making big decisions.
