Service · Technical due diligence
Know what the technology can support before the decision becomes expensive.
We provide independent technical assessments for investments, acquisitions, partnerships, leadership transitions, and major delivery commitments. Findings connect architecture and engineering evidence to business risk and practical next steps.
Good fit when
This is likely the work in front of you.
- An investor or acquirer needs an independent view of technical risk
- Leadership needs to validate a roadmap, budget, or modernization decision
- A company is inheriting a product, vendor, or engineering organization
- A failed or stalled build needs an evidence-based recovery decision
- The board needs a clear explanation of architecture, security, delivery, and ownership risk
Evidence, implications, and priorities—not a generic checklist.
The assessment is scoped around the decision being made. We review the evidence available, identify material limitations, distinguish urgent risk from ordinary technical debt, and explain what each finding means for cost, timing, and execution.
What is included
A scoped engagement with concrete outputs.
The exact scope is agreed before paid work begins. These are the building blocks we select from based on the decision and outcome required.
- 01
Decision-focused scope
A written assessment plan covering the systems, repositories, team, operations, security, data, and commercial questions relevant to the transaction or commitment.
- 02
Independent technical review
Evidence gathered through document review, stakeholder interviews, code and architecture inspection, and operational artifacts as agreed.
- 03
Risk-ranked findings
Clear findings organized by materiality, likelihood, business consequence, and the evidence or access limitations behind them.
- 04
Actionable recommendation
Immediate safeguards, post-close or post-decision priorities, cost and sequencing considerations, and open questions requiring validation.
What changes
The outcome the work is designed to produce.
- A clearer view of material technology and delivery risk
- Technical findings translated for executives and investors
- Separation of manageable debt from deal- or roadmap-threatening issues
- Prioritized actions with ownership and timing
- A defensible basis for investment, acquisition, or delivery decisions
