Technical due diligence before you sign.
For investors, acquirers, and boards. We read the code, the architecture, the security posture, the cloud bill, and how the team ships. You get a written report: what is sound, what will cost money, and what could kill the deal.
Free 30-minute call. Red flags in 48 hours after access. Fixed fee, fixed date.
How it starts
Call → 48h first read → written report
- 1. Free 30-minute call. Deal timeline, what access the target will give, and the questions your investment committee or board is asking.
- 2. 48-hour first read. Red flags you need before the next negotiation call. You keep it even if the deal dies.
- 3. Written report. Severity-ranked findings, remediation effort, and a 100-day plan. Fixed fee, set before we start.
What we review
Code
Maintainability, tests, and key-person risk: who can change what, and what breaks if they leave.
Architecture and scale
Single points of failure, where the system falls over at 10x load, and what a rewrite claim would really cost.
Security
Source review for authorization and injection, secrets, and dependency and supply-chain risk.
Cloud and cost
The bill against real usage, what is oversized, and how locked in the platform is.
Team and process
Release, on-call, incident history, and how AI coding agents are used and gated.
Dependency licenses
An SBOM with the licenses in your dependencies. We flag what looks risky; your counsel decides.
What the report gives you
- An executive summary a board can read in five minutes.
- Findings ranked by severity, with reproduction notes and remediation effort.
- Deal-level red flags at the top, not buried on page 30.
- A 100-day plan if you close.
Proof
Who does the work
Acquisition integration
Sean O'Dea was chief software architect at Kaseya across an IT-management portfolio assembled largely by acquisition: assessing acquired engineering groups and moving them onto shared architecture and rollout practice without stopping revenue.
CTO at 16 million users
CTO at Parlement: rebuilt the platform into a functional API on bare-metal Kubernetes and took production from 80 servers to 11, with an 18-person engineering team across four countries.
Oversight on big contracts
Led independent verification and validation on federal contracts up to $500M. See government IV&V.
Security that finds the bad one
An end-to-end audit of a production financial platform: 50+ OWASP findings, a remote code execution backdoor, and an IDOR account takeover. CISSP, GPEN.
Questions
Who is this for?
Investors before a round, acquirers before close, and boards who need an outside read on their own engineering. Also founders who want to find the problems before a buyer does.
What do you need from the target?
Read access to the repositories, the cloud billing and architecture, the CI pipeline, and an hour with whoever runs engineering. If the deal does not allow access to engineers yet, we say what the report cannot cover.
Do you work under NDA and data-room rules?
Yes. We work under your NDA and follow the data room's rules. Nothing leaves the engagement except the report.
How long does it take?
The 48-hour first read comes after access. The full report date is set on the call against your deal timeline, and the fee is fixed before we start.
Can you stay after close?
Yes. The report doubles as the first 100 days of work. We can run it as a fractional CTO or a codebase takeover, from $2,500/month. That is optional and never a condition of the report.
