Acquisition Tech Diligence. @tech-diligence

Acquisition Tech Diligence assesses what you're actually buying: the target's codebase, architecture, security posture, engineering team, and delivery process — combining AI-powered code analysis with review by advisors who have built and operated production systems, not just written decks about them.

The engagement is built for deal timelines and deal confidentiality. It ends in an investor-ready report: scalability bottlenecks, security exposure, technical debt quantified with remediation costs, key-person risk, and a clear view of what the first 12 months of ownership will require.

Codebase & Architecture Review

Automated analysis across the full codebase plus expert architecture review — quality, scalability limits, debt hotspots, and how much of the roadmap the current system can actually carry.

Security & Compliance Screen

Vulnerability assessment, dependency and supply-chain exposure, and a check of compliance posture against the frameworks the deal thesis assumes.

Team & Process Assessment

Engineering maturity benchmarked against industry standards: delivery process, key-person concentration, documentation, and what leaves when founders do.

Investor-Ready Report

A written report with a risk register, remediation cost estimates, and findings your investment committee can act on — plus a walkthrough session.

1. Scope — Confirm deal timeline, access, and focus areas under NDA; align with your diligence workstream.
2. Build — Analysis and assessment: automated code review, architecture and security evaluation, and team interviews.
3. Handover — The report and risk register, presented to your deal team, with follow-up availability through close.

Acquisition Tech Diligence is a menu item on the Scrums.com delivery catalog, available at every plan tier. Add it to your plan backlog and your delivery team schedules it like any other item — scoped, tracked, and reported through the SEOP. See Delivery Plan Tiers.

Can you work inside our deal timeline?

Yes — the engagement is scoped to the window you have. AI-assisted analysis front-loads the codebase work, so expert time goes to interpretation and the areas the deal thesis depends on.

How is confidentiality handled?

Under NDA, with access-controlled review environments and a named, minimal team. Findings go to your deal team only; nothing about the engagement touches the target's normal vendor relationships.

What's actually in the report?

A risk register ranked by severity, technical debt quantified with remediation cost estimates, scalability and security findings, team and key-person risk, and a first-12-months view — written for an investment committee, with the technical appendix behind it.
