Technical Due Diligence
An independent read on an architecture before money moves.
- Turnaround
- 5–10 business days
- Who it is for
- Investors, acquirers, and founders preparing for a raise.
01 — The problem
Due diligence done by the team being diligenced produces an optimistic answer. An outside read finds the things nobody wanted to raise.
02 — What is included
Exactly what you get, and nothing vague.
- Architecture review against the stated growth plan, not against best practice in the abstract
- Scalability ceilings: what breaks first, and at roughly what load
- Technical debt inventory with remediation cost estimated
- Key-person risk and bus-factor assessment across the infrastructure
- Security and compliance posture relative to the target market
03 — What this usually finds
The recurring ones, named up front.
- A single engineer who is the only one who can deploy
- Scaling limits much closer than the plan assumes
- Licensing or vendor terms that change on acquisition
- No disaster recovery beyond backups nobody has restored
Listed because they recur, not because they are guaranteed. The audit reports what is actually there.

Twenty minutes to find out whether this is worth doing.
Every engagement runs under a signed mutual NDA with a read-only IAM role. If the audit would not pay for itself, I will say so on the call.
