    What we assess during diligence

    We focus on the product and technology risks that materially affect valuation, deal certainty, and post-close execution.

    Security

    Application, infrastructure, and data security posture, including vulnerabilities, access controls, incident history, and material exposure buyers need to understand early.

    Architecture & Scalability

    System design, critical dependencies, and whether the current architecture can scale reliably without introducing unacceptable cost or operational risk.

    IP Ownership & Codebase Integrity

    Intellectual property ownership, developer assignments, open-source usage, and codebase health, ensuring there are no gaps that could impair ownership or transferability.

    Operational Resilience

    Disaster recovery, RTO/RPO expectations, observability, and how the system behaves under failure conditions or operational stress.

    Product Strategy & Roadmap

    Whether the product vision, roadmap, and prioritization are grounded in technical reality, and achievable with the current platform and team.

    Engineering Delivery

    How work actually gets shipped, including team structure, development practices, technical leadership, and the gap between plans and execution.

    Key Person Risk

    The extent to which critical knowledge, decision-making, or execution depends on a small number of individuals, and the risk that creates for continuity.

    Technical Moat

    The durability of the technology advantage, including proprietary systems, data, workflows, and the difficulty of replication by competitors.

    How engagements progress

    Our work often begins at one point in the deal lifecycle and continues as needs evolve.

    Preparation

    Sell-Side Pre-Deal

    We help founders and leadership teams prepare for product and technology due diligence before a buyer is involved, identifying gaps early and reducing deal risk.

    Execution

    Buy-Side Diligence

    We support investors and acquirers with independent product and technology due diligence during live deals, focused on material risk, execution reality, and post-close implications.

    Remediation

    Post-Close Execution

    We continue post-close as an operating partner, supporting remediation, execution, and long-term platform strength for owners and portfolio companies.

    How we work

    Product + Engineering

    We look at the whole picture and staff our projects accordingly. Strong decisions come from assessing both product strategy and engineering execution together - as one team. And from having Product + Engineering experts working together.

    Pragmatic > Theoretical

    We prioritise what moves the needle. No jargon or bloated reports - just clear, actionable insights you can use immediately. Our recommendations are grounded in the realities of your business stage, whether you're preparing for investment, planning a sale, or scaling fast.

    Operators > Consultants

    Our team of experts has built and led technology businesses in high-growth, high-pressure environments. We've made the tough calls and delivered under scrutiny. That experience means we understand your realities in practice, not just in theory - and we use it to help you make better decisions.
