Code Audits & Due Diligence Consulting
Tap into our breadth and depth of software development experience to answer critical questions about an existing codebase to save money and reduce risks
Code Audits & Due Diligence Consulting provides a deep, structured assessment of your software systems, or those you're considering acquiring, investing in, or inheriting. We go beyond surface-level code quality to evaluate architecture, maintainability, scalability, and delivery risk. Our goal: reduce technical uncertainty and help business leaders make smarter, faster decisions.
Whether you're acquiring a platform, investing in a startup, or validating internal systems before scaling, we translate engineering complexity into clear, risk-aware insights that drive confident outcomes.
Who We Partner With
- Investors conducting technical diligence on prospective portfolio companies
- CTOs and engineering leaders inheriting legacy systems or vendor-built code
- M&A teams assessing software assets as part of pre- or post-close diligence
- Founders preparing for fundraises who need to validate or improve technical posture
- Product leaders scoping a rebuild, refactor, or modernization and need a true assessment of the starting point
If you need to know what's really under the hood, this is how you find out with an expert outside opinion.
Approach We Take
We audit with empathy, but rigor. Our 22+ years of technical expertise don't just result in reviews that flag problems. They prioritize what matters, explain tradeoffs, and deliver insight that can actually inform action aligned with modern technical best practices.
Our approach includes:
- Codebase & Architecture Review — We evaluate structure, patterns, and modularity to assess flexibility and maintainability
- Operational Maturity Analysis — We assess deployment, CI/CD, monitoring, documentation, and team practices
- Security & Compliance Checks — We scan for vulnerabilities, secrets, permissions, and other risk indicators
- Scalability & Performance Readiness — We look at how systems will behave under load or as usage grows
- Roadmap Feasibility Review — We assess how well the current codebase supports the stated product roadmap
Every audit is tailored to the business context — whether that's funding, acquisition, expansion, or remediation.
How It Works
- Scoping & Access — We clarify your goals, timeline, and risk areas. Then we get access to source code, systems, and stakeholders.
- Audit & Analysis — Our senior engineers review the codebase, run tools, and conduct hands-on reviews and interviews against our structured checklist.
- Risk Modeling & Recommendations — We score and prioritize findings across severity, urgency, and business impact.
- Delivery & Briefing — We present our findings in a format built for both technical and non-technical audiences, including remediation paths and timeline estimates.
- Optional Advisory Support — We can stay engaged to support cleanup, roadmap design, or technical hiring decisions based on what we uncover.
What to Expect Working With Us
You'll get:
- A clear, structured evaluation of code quality, architecture, and technical risk
- An executive-ready summary of what's working, what's fragile, and what's blocking growth
- A risk-weighted action plan for remediation or investment
- Support aligning technical health with product velocity and business goals
- Peace of mind — whether you're buying, investing, rebuilding, or scaling
We don't just audit code. We give you a clear picture of how it supports, or limits, what you're trying to do next.
