Software Due Diligence Do you really know the code you are acquiring?
Before an acquisition, investment, or technology partnership, you need to know what is inside the software. We evaluate it with engineering precision.
Why technical due diligence is critical
Acquiring software without a thorough technical evaluation exposes you to risks that surface only after signing: inherited technical debt, security vulnerabilities, non-scalable architectures.
Undisclosed technical debt
70% of engineering teams underestimate the technical debt in their codebase. Without an external analysis, the real cost only emerges after the acquisition.
Security risks
Outdated dependencies, exposed credentials, known vulnerabilities. A systematic pre-acquisition software audit identifies risks before they become legal liability.
Non-scalable architecture
A software architecture that cannot support planned growth can invalidate business projections. An independent software architecture audit is essential.
What our software due diligence includes
A structured process that produces a complete and actionable technical report, suitable for investors, acquirers, and boards.
Codebase Health Check
Static and dynamic code analysis. We measure quality, test coverage, cyclomatic complexity and the presence of problematic patterns.
- Automated static analysis
- Code quality metrics
- Test coverage and quality
- Dependencies and known vulnerabilities
Software Architecture Audit
We evaluate the system architecture against scalability, maintainability, and future adaptability requirements.
- System architecture review
- Coupling and cohesion analysis
- Scalability assessment
- Single point of failure identification
Engineering Due Diligence
Interviews with the technical team, analysis of development processes, evaluation of overall engineering maturity.
- Technical team interviews
- CI/CD process analysis
- Documentation assessment
- Development practices review
Risk Report
Executive and technical report with risks classified by severity, intervention cost estimate, and prioritized recommendations.
- Executive summary for board
- Risks classified by impact
- Remediation cost estimate
- Suggested intervention roadmap
What you receive at the end of the process
The process takes 2-4 weeks depending on the size of the codebase.
