Know Exactly What You're Buying Before You Write the Check.
Technical Due Diligence in Days, Not Weeks.

Technical due diligence is a structured assessment of a software company's technology before you invest or acquire. We evaluate the codebase, architecture, infrastructure, team capabilities, security posture, and technical debt — then deliver a clear Go/No-Go/Conditional recommendation with evidence. Think of it as a home inspection for software: you wouldn't buy a building without one, and you shouldn't buy a software company without one either.

Our Standard Package takes 3-5 business days. Deep Dive takes 7-10 business days. Both include a final presentation to your investment committee. Rush engagements (under 5 business days for Standard) are available at +50% — we understand deal timelines don't always accommodate ideal schedules. Most big consulting firms take 2-3 weeks for what we deliver in under a week.

Pricing scales with the complexity of the target company's technology stack and team size, with options for both standard (3-5 day) and deep dive (7-10 day) assessments. Rush engagements are available for time-sensitive deals. For comparison, large consulting firms typically charge $50,000-$100,000+ for similar assessments — with junior analysts doing most of the work. Contact us for a fixed-price quote tailored to your specific deal.

Every report includes five sections: (1) Executive Summary with a clear Go/No-Go/Conditional recommendation, key findings, and critical action items — designed for partners and investment committee. (2) Technical Assessment covering architecture quality, code quality, tech debt quantification, and security posture. (3) Team Assessment evaluating structure, capabilities, key person dependencies, and retention risks. (4) Financial Impact analysis with current technology costs, required investments, and efficiency opportunities. (5) Recommendations with a 90-day post-investment plan, 12-month technical roadmap, and budget requirements.

Absolutely. We execute NDAs before accessing any proprietary information. We also work through secure, auditable channels — your deal room, private repositories, or encrypted file transfers. Confidentiality is non-negotiable. We've handled sensitive assessments for competitive acquisitions where even the existence of the deal was confidential.

Three differences. Speed: we deliver in 3-5 days, not 2-3 weeks. Cost: a fraction of the $50K-100K+ big firms charge. Expertise: assessments are conducted personally by a senior engineer with 28 years of experience, not delegated to junior analysts who have never built or scaled production systems. You get direct access to the person evaluating the technology — the same person presenting findings to your investment committee.

Yes — every engagement includes a live presentation of findings. We tailor the presentation to your audience: executive summary for partners, technical depth for operating partners and CTOs, financial impact for deal teams. We also make ourselves available for follow-up questions during the decision period. Most clients find the live presentation and Q&A more valuable than the written report alone.

It happens, and we expect it. Every finding in our report is backed by evidence: specific code examples, architecture diagrams, benchmark data, and industry comparisons. We don't make subjective claims — we show you exactly what we found and why it matters. If a CTO disagrees, we welcome the conversation because objective evidence resolves disputes quickly. Our recommendations include remediation costs so you can factor technical issues into deal terms.

Yes. Many clients who start with due diligence engage us afterward for technical integration support through our fractional CTO services or AI integration consulting. Due diligence often reveals opportunities — modernization roadmaps, AI adoption, team restructuring — that we can help execute. But there's no obligation: the DD report stands on its own as a complete deliverable.
