Technical Due Diligence
Independent technical assessment for acquisitions, major vendor decisions, or significant technology investments. We tell you what you’re actually buying.
You need to know what’s under the hood.
Whether you’re acquiring a company, evaluating a major vendor, or assessing a significant technology investment, you need an independent technical perspective. Sellers and vendors won’t tell you the whole story.
Acquisition risk
You’re buying a company and need to understand their technology. Is it an asset or a liability? What are the hidden costs?
Vendor claims
A vendor is promising transformational capabilities. Are they telling the truth? Can they deliver? What are you actually getting?
Investment decisions
You’re considering a major technology investment. Is the approach sound? Are the estimates realistic? What’s missing?
Internal disagreement
Technical and business stakeholders have different opinions. You need an objective assessment to break the deadlock.
What you get
A decision-quality report that tells you what you need to know—not what the seller wants you to hear.
