We don't review documents — we review technology. Every engagement is led by senior engineers with decades of experience in regulated, high-stakes environments.
Not a generic checklist and not a slide exported from an internal SOW. We organize the work around the decisions an investor, acquirer, or board actually needs to make: is the product real, is the stack durable, where are the hidden liabilities, and what will this cost after close?
You leave with a clear technical position: what is solid, what is fragile, what is overpriced, and what needs to be negotiated, remediated, or walked away from.
We verify whether the product story matches the actual system underneath it. That means architecture walkthroughs, data-flow analysis, API and integration review, and a hard look at where complexity is being hidden.
We assess how exposed the target really is across security, compliance, infrastructure, continuity, and day-two operations. This is where expensive surprises often hide.
We look beyond code quality in isolation and assess whether the engineering organization can sustain the business. That includes interviews, codebase review, CI/CD maturity, and key-person risk.
We quantify the technical liabilities that translate directly into future cash burn, slower integration, or management drag after the deal closes.
The output is designed for decisions, not archival comfort. We synthesize the work into a position that can influence price, terms, integration planning, or a no-go call.
Every engagement produces a structured set of deliverables designed to be understood by boards, not just engineers.
Decision-oriented brief covering key findings, risk rating, and a clear go/no-go technical perspective. Designed for boards and investment committees.
Full system topology diagrams with data flows, integration maps, and component dependency chains — documented to a standard that supports post-close integration planning.
Detailed findings across PCI DSS, SOC 2, HSM/encryption posture, and fraud control architecture — with remediation priority ranking.
Visual risk matrix across all 13 TDD domains — from critical deal-breakers to manageable post-close items — with ownership and timeline recommendations.
Structured analysis of whether acquired technology should be preserved, integrated, or replaced — with cost modelling for each path.
Prioritized technical roadmap addressing gaps identified — mapped to business milestones, capex requirements, and near-term risk deadlines.
The difference is what we find — and what we know to be consequential.
Every engagement is led by engineers with 20+ years of real production experience — not analysts with checklists. We've built the systems we're now evaluating.
PCI DSS, SOC 2, HSM infrastructure, and financial-grade compliance aren't foreign territory for us — they're our primary domain.
We have no implementation revenue to protect and no vendor relationships to preserve. Our only incentive is the accuracy of our assessment.
Tell us what you're evaluating. We'll tell you what's actually there.
