Before investing or acquiring, the pitch is not enough. Technical due diligence measures the real strength of a product and the hidden cost of its debt.
A product can win over an investment committee and rest on a fragile technical base. Technical due diligence measures that gap before it becomes a risk.
What we actually look at
Architecture and code readability, accumulated debt, security, scalability, key-person dependency. And above all the gap between the sales pitch and the real system: what is promised, what exists, what is left to build.
Key-person dependency is often the most underestimated risk. A product that lives only in a technical founder’s head is a fragile asset.
A risk-ranked deliverable
A good report does not list defects, it ranks them by impact and cost to remediate. What blocks a deal, what is fixed in a quarter, what is acceptable.
The goal is not to judge, but to give the decision-maker a reliable, quantifiable read. A decision made on a clear technical basis beats a surprise after signing.
