Architecture and design
We map how the system is actually structured, where the coupling and single points of failure sit, and whether the architecture can carry your roadmap or will fight it.
002Technical Due Diligence
Technical due diligence: know exactly what you are buying
Technical due diligence is a structured audit of the architecture, code, infrastructure, and delivery practices behind a product, run by senior engineers who have built and operated production systems. Our software due diligence is for investors, acquirers, and founders who need an honest, evidence-based read on a codebase before they buy it, fund it, or commit another year of budget to it.

What we assess
What our technical due diligence covers
We look at the whole system, not just the code. Each area gets concrete findings, a severity rating, and a recommended fix, so the diligence report supports a real decision.
Code quality
We read the code itself: consistency, test coverage, error handling, and the hotspots where most bugs and slowdowns originate. Tooling flags patterns, engineers judge what matters.
Security posture
We check authentication, authorization, secrets handling, dependency vulnerabilities, and data exposure paths, then rank what needs fixing now versus what can wait.
Infrastructure and DevOps
We review your hosting, CI/CD, environments, monitoring, and backup and recovery story. The question is simple: can you deploy safely and recover quickly when something breaks?
Scalability and performance
We identify the bottlenecks that will surface as load grows: slow queries, chatty services, unbounded jobs, and the parts of the stack that will not survive ten times the traffic.
Team and process
We look at how the code gets shipped: review practices, documentation, onboarding time, and key-person risk. Many technical problems are really process problems in disguise.
How it works
How we run a due diligence review
(4)- 1
Scope and access
We agree on the questions you need answered, then get read access to the repositories, infrastructure, and documentation. A kickoff call with your team fills in the history.
- 2
Hands-on audit
Senior engineers read the code, trace the architecture, run static analysis and dependency scans, and interview the people who work in the system daily.
- 3
Findings and roadmap
You get a written report: what is solid, what is at risk, and a prioritized roadmap that sequences fixes by business impact rather than engineering preference.
- 4
Walkthrough and handoff
We present the findings to your leadership and engineering team, answer the hard questions live, and leave you with a plan your own team can execute, with or without us.
