Rapid Technical Due Diligence

Hours, Not Months

Your company is considering acquiring a technology platform. The seller shows a polished demo. Your board wants a decision. Traditional due diligence takes 4-8 weeks and costs $50-100K+. There's a faster way.

The Problem

Demo day lies. Every time. The seller shows the prettiest module, the smoothest flow. But 50-65% of a platform's value sits in things nobody shows on demo day.

  • User management and account systems
  • Messaging, notifications, email templates
  • UI/UX layout and component library
  • DevOps: staging, CI/CD, deployment pipelines
  • Mobile applications and API integrations

The Method: 4-Dimension Rapid Assessment

We evaluate technology acquisitions across four dimensions in a single structured session. Speed comes from pattern recognition, not shortcuts.

1

Domain Value - What unique business problems does the platform solve? How mature are the solutions compared to building from scratch?

2

Infrastructure Inventory - How much boring but essential work is already done? This is where the hidden value sits.

3

Technical Health - What's the tech stack? Is it modern and maintainable? Are there proper environments? Is the architecture cloud-ready?

4

Risk & Leverage - Every weakness is two things: a risk to manage AND a negotiation lever. Incomplete features lower the price. Niche market means motivated seller.

Case Study: Real Estate Services Platform

A real estate cleaning and scheduling platform offered at $200K. Decision needed quickly. Assessment time: 2 hours.

  • The platform already covered roughly 80% of the functionality the founder needed to launch - the assessment's job was pricing the remaining 20% and the risk
  • 4 high-value domain modules worth $105-165K to build from scratch
  • Infrastructure worth $115-180K to replicate (messaging, accounts, CI/CD, mobile app)
  • Professional DevOps setup with staging and CI/CD
  • Modern stack (React + .NET), Azure-ready
  • Total build-from-scratch cost: $350-450K over 12-18 months
  • Recommendation: Buy. Multiple negotiation leverage points identified.

What You Are Paying For

Three layers, in the order they matter.

1. Accuracy

Every estimate is calibrated against a pattern library from 15+ years of enterprise software delivery - hundreds of real projects. That is what makes a fast valuation trustworthy rather than merely fast.

2. Compression

The answer arrives inside your decision window: a 2-4 hour structured session, not a quarter of diligence. Speed is worth nothing after the seller walks - and a great deal before the board meets.

3. Execution

An external verdict gets acted on. The research boundary, stated honestly: paying for advice makes it more likely to be used - it does not make the advice better (Gino, 2008). You are not buying smarter analysis than your team could produce. You are buying a verdict your board will move on, in time.
