Full Technical Stack Assessment
Not just a code review. A complete read on the technical risk of the business you're buying.
Codebase & Architecture
Code quality, maintainability, architectural decisions, technical debt load, and how much of the roadmap is achievable on the current foundation vs. requiring a rebuild.
Infrastructure
Hosting and cloud cost structure, scalability ceiling under real growth assumptions, deployment practices, backup and disaster recovery posture, and single points of failure.
Security & Compliance
Access controls, data handling practices, known vulnerability exposure, and gaps against relevant compliance frameworks (SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI, as applicable to the target).
Team & Process
Key-person risk (what happens if the founder or lead engineer leaves), engineering velocity, support/on-call sustainability, and hiring pipeline health.
Vendor & Dependency Risk
Third-party API dependencies, open-source license compliance, contractor IP assignment gaps, and any single vendor the business can't survive losing.
AI-Generated Code Risk
Unreviewed AI-generated code with no clear owner, inconsistent patterns from tool-assisted changes, and commits nobody on the team can fully explain. A growing blind spot in smaller and earlier-stage software companies, assessed explicitly rather than assumed away.
