Why Technical Due Diligence?

Investing in a technology company carries specific risks that only become visible through thorough technical analysis.

Uncover hidden risks

Architectural weaknesses, security vulnerabilities, and technical debt often remain undetected - until they become expensive.

Assess technical debt

Legacy code and deferred modernizations can massively slow down development and drive up costs.

Verify scalability

Can the system keep up with planned growth? We analyze architecture and infrastructure for future viability.

Evaluate team & know-how

How dependent is the product on individual people? We assess team structure, documentation, and knowledge distribution.

What we assess

Our analysis covers all technical dimensions relevant to an informed investment decision.

Code Quality

  • Clean Code & Best Practices
  • Test coverage & test quality
  • Technical debt
  • Code complexity & maintainability

Architecture & Design

  • System architecture & modularity
  • Scalability & performance
  • Technology stack assessment
  • API design & integrations

Team & Processes

  • Development methodology (Agile/Scrum)
  • Code review processes
  • Documentation quality
  • Knowledge distribution & bus factor

Infrastructure & Security

  • CI/CD pipelines & deployment
  • Cloud architecture & costs
  • Security analysis (OWASP)
  • Monitoring & observability

Our approach

A structured process for reliable results - transparent and efficient.

01

Briefing

Kickoff meeting to define scope, objectives, and focus areas. We align expectations and plan the process.

02

Analysis

In-depth review of code, architecture, and processes. We conduct interviews with the development team as needed.

03

Evaluation

Structured assessment of findings. We create a risk matrix and prioritize action recommendations.

04

Report

Presentation of results with executive summary and detailed technical report.

What you receive

Clear, actionable results for informed decisions.

Structured final report

Detailed documentation of all findings with technical depth and management-friendly summary.

Risk matrix

Clear assessment of all identified risks by severity and probability of occurrence.

Action recommendations

Prioritized measures for risk mitigation and improvement - with effort estimates.

Results presentation

Personal presentation to stakeholders with room for questions and discussion.

Frequently asked questions

Depending on the scope and complexity of the system being assessed, a Technical Due Diligence typically takes 1-2 weeks. For smaller products or focused analyses, this can be faster.

Ideally, we need read-only access to the source code, documentation, and CI/CD pipeline. Conversations with the development team are also helpful. All access is deleted after the analysis is complete.

Absolutely. We sign NDAs before project start and treat all information as strictly confidential. Our experience with sensitive M&A processes guarantees the highest discretion.

Costs depend on the scope of the analysis. After a non-binding initial consultation, we provide an individual quote. Contact us for an initial assessment.
