Technical Due Diligence
An honest read of the technology behind the deal.
Buy-side, sell-side, or pre-investment. We deliver investor-grade diligence that boards, partners, and operators take seriously — covering architecture, code, team, security, IT, and the roadmap that justifies the price.
- Buy-side technical due diligence
- Sell-side readiness and exit prep
- Product due diligence
- IT and operational due diligence
- Security and compliance posture
- Post-close 100-day plans
01
What we evaluate
We adapt the scope to the deal, but a typical engagement covers six dimensions. We score each against a clear rubric and back every finding with evidence — links to code, tickets, runbooks, and quotes from interviews.
Architecture & scalability
System design, data model, performance posture, cloud spend, and the realistic cost of the next 10x.
Code & engineering practice
Code quality, test coverage, CI/CD, change-failure rate, and the maturity of the engineering org.
Team & leadership
Org chart, key-person risk, hiring health, leveling, and the bench under the founders.
Security & compliance
Threat surface, identity, secrets, vendor risk, SOC 2 / HIPAA / PCI posture, and audit readiness.
Product & roadmap
Roadmap credibility, customer signal, technical debt against revenue, and how the next year actually ships.
IT & operations
Endpoint, identity, SaaS sprawl, and the boring infrastructure that breaks deals at the audit.
02
What you receive
A written report your investment committee can rely on, a 30-minute live debrief, a follow-up Q&A window, and — when the deal closes — an optional 100-day plan with named priorities, risks, and owners.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- How fast can you turn around a diligence?
- Standard turnaround is 2–4 weeks. We've delivered focused reads in 5 business days when timing required it.
- Do you work for buyers, sellers, or both?
- Both. We're explicit about which side we represent and never work both sides of the same deal.
- Will founders cooperate with you?
- Almost always. Our process is structured, respectful, and short. Founders consistently tell us our reports are fair — including the critical parts.
- Can you support the deal post-close?
- Yes. Many clients re-engage us for a 100-day plan, fractional leadership, or a project save based on what diligence surfaced.
