We review architecture, code quality, security, scalability and team practices, then hand you a plain-English report: what’s solid, what’s fragile, what the real remediation cost is, and whether it can carry the growth you’re underwriting. Useful to the people writing the cheque and the founders taking it.
No retainers without a measurable outcome attached. Every sprint is anchored to a KPI we agreed on in week one — with weekly Loom updates, a shared dashboard, and a senior strategist on every call.

Our Process
How we ship Technical Due Diligence
A proven 4-step framework that compresses time to results without cutting corners.
01
Assess the real state
An independent, expert review of codebase, architecture and technical debt behind the demo.
02
Evaluate scalability
We assess whether the architecture and team can support the plan, and scope remediation.
03
Surface security & compliance
We identify security and compliance exposure before it becomes the acquirer's liability.
04
Report for the deal
A clear findings report with risks, scalability and remediation to inform valuation.
A working demo tells an investor or acquirer almost nothing about the real state of the technology — the risks live under the hood. We provide independent technical due diligence: an expert, honest assessment of the codebase, architecture, technical debt and engineering practices, so you understand what you're actually buying or funding.
A clear-eyed independent assessment is what turns a technology black box into an informed decision.
Codebase and architecture assessment
Technical-debt and shortcut evaluation
Engineering-practice and quality review
Honest, independent findings

Typical shape of an engagement
Months 4–9 is where money keywords move
Scalability & risk
Can it — and the team — actually grow?
The questions that matter in diligence are forward-looking: will the architecture scale, is the technical debt manageable, can the team deliver, what will it cost to fix. We evaluate scalability, key risks, and team capability, and quantify what remediation would take, so the technical picture informs valuation and post-deal planning.
Assessing scalability and risk is what tells you not just what the tech is, but whether it can support the plan.

Team capability and practice evaluation

Content velocity
Briefed, drafted, edited, shipped
Security & compliance
Surface the exposures before they're yours
Undiscovered security vulnerabilities and compliance gaps become the acquirer's liability the moment the deal closes — so diligence has to surface them. We assess security posture and compliance exposure (data handling, vulnerabilities, regulatory gaps), so risks are known and priced before they become your problem.
Surfacing security and compliance exposure in diligence is what prevents a post-close surprise from becoming a costly liability.

Compliance and data-handling gap review
Vulnerability and exposure identification
Risks known and priced pre-close

FAQs
Questions buyers ask before signing
Quick answers to the things buyers always check first.
What is technical due diligence?
An independent, expert assessment of a company's technology for investors or acquirers — the codebase, architecture, technical debt, scalability, team capability, and security/compliance exposure — so you understand the real state and risks of what you're buying or funding, beyond a working demo.
Why can't a demo tell us what we need?
Because a working demo reveals almost nothing about what's under the hood — technical debt, architectural risk, scalability limits and security gaps hide behind a functioning product. Diligence surfaces the real state so it informs valuation and post-deal planning.
What do you assess?
Codebase quality and technical debt, architecture and scalability, engineering practices, team capability, and security and compliance exposure — with the risks quantified and remediation scoped, so the technical picture is clear and actionable.
How long does technical due diligence take?
Typically 1–3 weeks depending on the size and complexity of the technology and the depth required, delivered as a clear findings report with risks, scalability assessment and remediation scoping.
No account-manager buffer and no juniors learning on your budget — you work directly with the people who do the work.
