Independent technology assessment for acquisitions, partnerships, vendor selection, and strategic decisions. We give leadership an honest view of technical risk and opportunity. No conflict of interest.
Discuss a Due Diligence Engagement →Technology due diligence is the independent assessment of a technology asset, team, or business before a significant commitment is made. That commitment might be an acquisition, a partnership, a major vendor contract, or a significant technology investment decision.
The purpose is not to create a report for its own sake. It is to give the decision-makers an honest, clear picture of what they are looking at: what the risks are, what the remediation cost would be, and what it will actually take to make this work if the deal proceeds.
We have no relationship with the target business and no financial stake in the outcome. Our job is to give you an accurate view of technical debt, architecture quality, security posture, scalability limits, and team capability. If the answer is "do not do this deal," we will say so clearly, with evidence.
We work quickly. Most technology due diligence engagements complete within two to four weeks, with an executive summary available within the first week. We understand that deal timelines do not wait.
Due diligence is most valuable when there is a real decision on a timeline. If you are in the early exploration stage, start with a discovery call and we'll tell you whether a formal engagement is warranted.
Before an acquisition or investment in a technology-dependent business, you need an independent view of what the technology is actually worth and what it will cost to maintain and scale it.
Evaluating a technology acquisition or a strategic partnership. You need a clear, technically credible view of the asset that can support your negotiation and inform your integration planning.
Before signing a multi-year contract with a technology vendor, it is worth understanding whether their technology is what they say it is, whether it can scale with you, and what your exit options look like.
Before a significant technology investment or before bringing in a major partner, you want an honest assessment of what you have built: what is solid, what is at risk, and what needs to be addressed.
Assessing the quality, maintainability, and scalability of the codebase. We look at architecture decisions, code organisation, dependency management, test coverage, and the gap between what is documented and what is actually running.
Reviewing authentication, authorisation, data handling, API security, and known vulnerabilities. We identify security issues that would need to be remediated and estimate the effort to do so before they become your problem.
Assessing how the infrastructure is set up, what it can handle, and where the limits are. We identify single points of failure, capacity constraints, and the cost of scaling to the next level of business growth.
Estimating the cost of fixing what is already broken or substandard. Technical debt is often the biggest hidden cost in a technology acquisition. We give you a number, not just a characterisation.
Understanding the technology team: their skills, their processes, their dependencies on key individuals, and their capacity to support the technology after the transaction. The team is often as important as the technology.
Mapping third-party dependencies, licensing risks, vendor concentration, and contract terms that might affect the value of the asset or create unexpected obligations after completion.
We agree on what we are assessing and what access we need: codebase, infrastructure, documentation, and conversations with the technology team. We prepare an NDA-covered scope document before any work begins.
We provide a preliminary view of major risks and deal-breakers within the first week. If there is something that should stop the deal, you will know early, before more time and money is invested in the process.
The complete report covers all areas of assessment with findings, severity ratings, and remediation cost estimates. The risk register is structured so it can feed directly into deal negotiation and post-acquisition planning.
We present the findings to your investment committee, board, or leadership team. We answer questions directly and help you understand the implications of what we found for the deal structure and price.
