Why Technology Due Diligence Exists

Understanding Technology Risk Before Capital Is Committed

Technology due diligence exists to answer one fundamental question:
Can the business realistically deliver what it is promising next?

Financial and legal diligence confirm the present. Technology due diligence evaluates readiness for what comes next.

This engagement is designed to clarify:

Whether the product and architecture can scale with the business.
Whether systems will perform under real-world usage and growth.
Whether the team and delivery processes can reliably execute the roadmap.
