Before you invest millions or acquire a company, you need to know the truth about their technology. Not a sanitised demo — the actual code, architecture, security posture, and AI readiness. That's what we deliver.

What we review

A comprehensive 7-dimension technical assessment — the same framework used by top-tier VC and PE firms.

Code Quality & Technical Debt

We review actual source code — not demos. We assess code quality, test coverage, documentation, dependency health, and the size of the hidden technical debt that doesn't show up in sales decks.

System Architecture

We evaluate the overall architecture — microservices vs. monolith, database design, API design, cloud infrastructure, and whether it's actually built to scale or just works in demos.

Security Assessment

We identify security vulnerabilities, data handling risks, compliance gaps (GDPR, SOC 2, etc.), and authentication/authorisation weaknesses — before they become your liability.

AI Readiness

We assess how AI-ready the company's technology is — data infrastructure, model integration capability, and whether their "AI features" are genuine or just marketing language.

Engineering Team Assessment

We assess the team's skills, bus-factor risk (key-person dependency), turnover risk, and whether the team can execute on the company's stated roadmap with current headcount.

Scalability & Infrastructure

We test and document how the system performs under load — identifying bottlenecks, infrastructure costs at scale, and the investment required to reach the company's growth targets.
