Our Services

Technical expertise at every stage of the deal.

From first look to post-close execution, we provide the engineering insight that moves transactions forward with confidence, giving your team the clarity to act on it.

Service 01

Pre-Acquisition Technical Due Diligence

See exactly what you're buying before you sign.

We conduct investment-grade technical assessments that go well beyond a surface-level code review. Our analysis surfaces material technical risks, validates architectural claims, and gives your deal team the clarity to negotiate from strength, or walk away from a bad deal before it becomes your problem.

Every engagement is led by engineers with firsthand experience building the systems they're evaluating. We don't delegate. We read the code, interrogate the architecture, assess the team, and model the business impact.

What we assess

  • Software architecture and scalability under load
  • Codebase quality, maintainability, and test coverage
  • Security posture and compliance exposure
  • Engineering team composition, capability, and velocity
  • AI/ML pipeline viability and data infrastructure
  • Infrastructure costs and cloud economics
  • Technical debt, quantified rather than just flagged
  • Integration complexity and cost-to-fix estimates

How we work

  • Structured data room review and code access
  • Architecture and system design walkthroughs
  • Engineering leadership interviews
  • Independent technical validation
  • Written findings with investment committee-ready deliverables
📄 Deliverable: Written report structured for investment committee presentation
Service 02

Post-Acquisition Integration Architecture

A roadmap your engineering teams will actually follow.

We translate the realities of two merged codebases into a structured integration plan grounded in what the systems actually are, not what the sellers said they were. Sellers present roadmaps; we build plans based on what we find when we look under the hood.

Our integration architecture work eliminates the guesswork that turns 6-month timelines into 3-year programs. We sequence work based on system dependencies, business priorities, and team capacity, not optimism.

What we cover

  • System integration architecture and sequencing
  • API and data layer compatibility assessment
  • Product roadmap consolidation and prioritization
  • Engineering org redesign and team alignment
  • Cloud infrastructure and platform migration planning
  • Technical debt remediation roadmap

"The integration plan you build before close is the one you'll defend in the boardroom after close."

Plan Execution & Fractional CTO

Experienced technical leadership through the critical first 100 days.

When you need someone to own the technical execution rather than just advise on it, we step in as fractional CTO or technical program lead for the integration phase. We bring the same practitioner-level judgment we apply in diligence to the execution side of the deal.

This is especially valuable when the acquired company's technical leadership is uncertain, when the acquiring company lacks internal integration expertise, or when investors need a named technical owner through the critical post-close period.

What we deliver

  • Direct technical and program leadership
  • Vendor and technology partner management
  • Platform consolidation oversight
  • OKR and KPI design with engineering teams
  • Investor milestone reporting
  • Escalation management and decision-making authority

Engagement model

  • Flexible scope, from a 90-day sprint to a full integration phase
  • Embedded with the acquiring or target team as needed
  • Weekly reporting cadence for board and investors
  • Transition plan and knowledge transfer included
📄 Deliverable: Program charter, milestone tracker, investor reporting
