Every acquisition is ultimately a bet on what you cannot fully see, and the technology behind a business is where that uncertainty concentrates most. Before capital changes hands, we examine the codebase, the infrastructure, and the contracts that hold it together, forming an independent view of what is actually being acquired rather than what the pitch deck describes.
The result is a clear, evidence-based assessment you can act on with confidence, covering ownership, risk, and the true cost of what comes next, delivered with the discretion a transaction of this nature requires.
Technical Due Diligence Session
A Technical Due Diligence Session is a structured audit of a company's website, codebase, and digital infrastructure — seen through a buyer's or investor's eyes, before capital changes hands.
Pricing is by application, based on the scope of the business.
What we cover
-
01.
What's Actually Being Sold
We look past the pitch deck to what the codebase, infrastructure, and vendor contracts actually contain.
-
02.
Who Really Owns What
We trace domains, repositories, licenses, and credentials back to their true owner, not just who has access today.
-
03.
What Breaks Without the Current Team
We identify the tacit knowledge and single points of failure that don't show up in any document.
-
04.
What It Will Cost to Fix
We estimate the real remediation cost of what we find, in time and dollars, before it becomes your problem.

FAQ
Who is this session for?
Buyers, investors, and acquiring companies evaluating a business with a meaningful website, codebase, or software product before a deal, as well as owners who want an independent technical read before going to market.
What exactly do you review?
Codebase quality and architecture, hosting and infrastructure, security posture, third-party dependencies, domain and account ownership, and licensing. We adapt the scope to the specific business.
How long does the diligence process take?
Most engagements take 5-10 business days from intake to the findings session, depending on the size and complexity of the codebase.
Do you need access to production systems?
We typically work from a read-only copy of the codebase and documentation under NDA. Production access is rarely necessary.
Is this confidential?
Yes. Everything is covered by an NDA, and findings are shared only with you and whoever you authorize.
What do we get at the end?
A written findings report covering technical risk, ownership issues, and estimated remediation costs, plus a live session to walk through it and answer questions.
Can you help negotiate based on the findings?
We don't negotiate on your behalf, but we give you the specific, evidence-based points you need for your own negotiation or advisors.
What if you find something serious?
We flag it immediately, not just in the final report, so you have time to act before the deal timeline forces a decision.
