Buying, funding, or partnering with a software product without a technical review.Risk report today.

A technical due diligence review for an acquisition covers: code quality and architecture assessment (is the codebase maintainable and scalable?), security vulnerability scan (known CVEs, authentication weaknesses, data exposure risks), infrastructure and cloud cost analysis (is the current setup over-engineered or under-provisioned?), third-party dependency audit (licences, deprecated packages, vendor lock-in risks), scalability assessment (can it handle 10x current load without a rewrite?), and technical debt quantification (estimated engineering hours to bring the product to a production-quality standard). You receive a written risk report with a severity rating for each finding, enabling your investment decision to be grounded in technical fact.

A standard technical due diligence engagement takes 1-3 days depending on codebase size and complexity. Day one focuses on architecture review, codebase structure, and security scanning. Day two covers infrastructure, integrations, and scalability testing. Day three is report writing and stakeholder presentation. For large enterprise products, the review is scoped into phases. A preliminary technical risk summary is delivered at the end of day one so your deal team has early signals before the full report is complete.

Yes. If you are evaluating a technical proposal, architecture design, or technology recommendation from a vendor, a neutral QuickHire specialist reviews the proposal against industry standards, identifies risks or gaps the vendor has not disclosed, compares the proposed approach to alternatives, and provides an independent written opinion. This is particularly valuable when your internal team lacks the specific technical expertise to evaluate the proposal — for example, assessing a proposed AI infrastructure design, cloud migration plan, or custom software architecture before committing budget.

Common findings from technical due diligence include: security vulnerabilities in authentication or data handling, outdated dependencies with known exploits, database design that will not scale beyond current load, lack of automated tests creating release risk, over-reliance on a single engineer who holds undocumented knowledge, infrastructure costs that will grow non-linearly with user growth, undisclosed technical debt that requires significant re-engineering, and licensing issues with third-party libraries. Each finding is categorised as critical (deal-breaker), high (negotiate remediation), or medium/low (acceptable with monitoring plan).

Yes. The technical due diligence report is written for both technical and non-technical audiences. The executive summary section presents findings and risk ratings in plain language suitable for investors, board members, or acquirers. The technical appendix provides detailed evidence for each finding — specific code examples, infrastructure diagrams, security scan outputs — for engineering review. The report includes a remediation roadmap with effort estimates so the target company or acquisition team understands what engineering investment is required post-deal.
