Technical Due Diligence — Pre-Acquisition Code Audits
Back to Capabilities TECHNICAL DUE DILIGENCE

What you're buying. Not what you were shown.

What you're acquiring rarely matches what you were shown. Our technical due diligence audits architecture, code quality, AI-code origin, security, and team capability before you sign — so the price matches the asset, and surprises don't arrive in month two. Decision-grade report, delivered in the window your deal team actually needs it.

What we deliver

An honest read on what you're actually buying
Architecture assessed against the business plan, not a generic checklist
AI-generated code provenance traced where it matters for IP and compliance
Security and compliance gaps priced into your negotiation
Team capability mapped to the roadmap you plan to ship
A remediation plan you can point at in the term sheet

Our approach

Most due diligence reports are written for the file, not for the decision. Two hundred pages, hedged language, every risk flagged equally, no position on what actually matters. You sign anyway, and the issues show up in month two — after the valuation is locked and the team is halfway out the door. The cost of a soft report isn't the invoice. It's the purchase price you couldn't renegotiate.

We write reports that close deals or protect against them. Red flags, yellow flags, green lights — with a ranking, a dollar estimate on remediation, and a clear position on what breaks the deal versus what's a price-negotiation lever. Senior engineers who've built what they're evaluating, not just read about it. Delivered in the window your deal team needs it, not on vendor time.

Frequently asked questions

Fixed quote per scope. What we scope is what we quote, and what we quote is what you're invoiced. New work or scope changes are scoped and quoted separately, before we build. Minimum engagement is $5K.
PE firms, VCs, and corporate acquirers evaluating targets before closing. We also work with companies preparing for acquisition — fixing issues before they show up in a buyer's audit.
Typical engagement runs a few weeks to a few months — fixed scope and fixed quote, set during scoping. Timeline is committed against that scope. If priorities shift mid-engagement, we reprice and replan transparently. Codebase access and automated analysis come first, followed by manual deep-dive and team interviews, with the final report delivered in the window your deal team needs it.
A decision-grade report — not a 200-page document nobody reads. Red flags, yellow flags, green lights. Estimated remediation costs. Timeline to production-ready. Architecture diagrams. Everything your deal team needs to negotiate with confidence.
