Technical Due Diligence

Investment-Grade Technology Assessment

For investors and acquirers, we bridge the gap between technical assessment and investment decision-making. We go beyond architecture and technical debt to answer what matters: where technology creates enterprise value, and where it destroys it.

  • From rapid investment screening to full technical & product diligence
  • Six assessment lenses: product, technology, operations, investment allocation, value creation, and AI
  • Analysis of the pivotal product & technical decisions behind the platform
  • A quantified value creation roadmap, not just a risk list

Timeline: 1-6 weeks per engagement

Technical Due Diligence

Diligence Built for Investment Decisions

Traditional diligence tells you whether the architecture is sound. Investors need to know what creates customer value, where engineering investment is going, and how technology can accelerate growth and EBITDA. Our Product & Technology Value Creation Framework bridges that gap.

T1

Investment Screening

Answer one question: should we continue evaluating this opportunity? A rapid go / no-go signal in 1–2 weeks.

T2

Technical & Product Due Diligence

Validate screening assumptions and deliver a full investment committee report in 2–6 weeks.

T3

Value Creation Blueprint

A technology-driven value creation plan for the investment holding period, delivered in 2–4 weeks.

T4

Portfolio Value Realization

Hands-on support helping portfolio companies execute the value creation plan through the holding period.

Six Assessment Lenses

Every engagement, regardless of tier, applies six structured lenses. Together they produce a complete picture of technology health, operational efficiency, and investment alignment.

Product

Why do customers buy, renew, and leave? What creates pricing power and competitive differentiation?

Technology

Can the platform support current operations and future growth? Is technical debt manageable, and are core decisions still valid?

Operations

What is the true cost and complexity of running the platform? Where are the bottlenecks and key-person dependencies?

Investment Allocation

Is engineering capital deployed against the right capabilities? What percentage of spend creates differentiation versus maintains parity?

Value Creation

Which specific initiatives increase enterprise value, and what are they worth in EBITDA, growth, and productivity terms?

AI & Automation

Where can AI improve EBITDA? Which workflows can be automated, and how much engineering productivity can be unlocked?

Measured by Outcomes, Not Outputs

A long risk list without an action plan is not valuable to an investor. Every engagement ends with a prioritized value creation roadmap and quantified estimates — so success is measured in enterprise value created during the holding period, EBITDA expansion attributable to technology, and strategic clarity for the investment committee.
