Technical diligence
An investor's engineer will open the repo
Diligence is not a conversation. Someone senior clones the code and forms a view in an afternoon — and what they find speaks before you do.

Funded startupsAudience guide
Once money is attached to an AI-built MVP, it stops being a demo and becomes evidence — investors, enterprise customers and future hires will all read it. We audit it against a published production-readiness framework, fix what actually blocks launch, and hand you a report written to double as your answer to technical diligence and security questionnaires.
For founders whose AI-built product now has a term sheet, a board seat or a public launch date attached to it.
Where you are
Nothing in the repo changed. The readers did.
The moment money attached to your product, other people earned the right to open the code.
Technical diligence, a security questionnaire, an acquirer's review — the codebase is now a document other people read, and today it reads like what it is: a prototype that worked.
What's on the calendar
The scrutiny is scheduled. The readiness isn't.
Each of these arrives on somebody else's timetable — and each one checks the same items our readiness framework scores first.
- Security questionnaire
Your first enterprise customer sends a form
Access control, data handling, backups, incident response. “The AI handled it” is not an answer any procurement team accepts.
- Launch date
The date went public before the product was ready
Announced launches move for nobody. The gap between working-in-a-demo and working-for-strangers has to close inside a calendar you already committed to.
- Runway
Every week of rework is paid in runway
An unplanned rebuild is a finance event, not just an engineering one. Knowing precisely what needs fixing — and what does not — is what keeps the spend proportionate.
What we run differently for you
Same framework. Run in scrutiny order.
The engineering does not bend to who is buying it — the sequencing and the paperwork do. For this reader, both are organised around the people about to look.
The report is written to be forwarded
Findings, severities, evidence and fixes in the language a diligence reviewer uses — you can attach it to an investor request or a security questionnaire as-is.
Sequenced by scrutiny date, not severity alone
If diligence lands before launch, the items a reviewer checks first get fixed first. The remediation plan is ordered around your calendar, not an abstract ideal.
Evidence over assurances
Access rules enforced at the data layer, automated tests, a pipeline with rollback — things a third party can verify independently, because a third party will.
Spend sized to the round, decided by you
The audit prices the gap before you commit to closing it. If the honest answer is that a targeted rescue is enough, we will not sell you a rebuild.
Where funded startups usually enter
Start with the audit. Let the findings decide.
Almost always at the audit, with a date already on the calendar — and the findings decide the rest. The rungs are the same ones published for everyone; there is no special startup package. Every rung, its price band and what it excludes is published on the pricing page, and the way the work is actually run is documented in the methodology.
- Where you startStart here
Diagnostic Audit
Findings within 72 hours of code access. The report doubles as your diligence answer whether or not we do the fixes.
- If the findings say so
Rescue & Ship
2–6 weeks to close what blocks launch when the foundation is sound — with a fixed ship date written into the SOW.
- If the findings say so
Full Rebuild
6–16 weeks when the audit shows the architecture will not carry the roadmap. Your product decisions, users and data carry over.
- If the findings say so
Co-Pilot Retainer
From 3 months: your team keeps building fast with AI tooling while senior engineers review everything that reaches production.
Said out loud
What you're not saying on the intake call, answered anyway.
These are the hesitations that actually decide this purchase. Some answers end in “then we are not the right fit” — that is the point of asking.
- The straight answer
Commissioning an independent audit before diligence is what running the company deliberately looks like — reviewers do the same thing from the other side of the table. What damages a round is not a report you ordered; it is a problem you did not know about.
- The straight answer
That depends on what the audit finds, and you will know within 72 hours. If the critical findings fit a 2–6 weeks rescue, yes — with the ship date in the SOW. If they do not, we say so plainly and show you what can safely go live on the date instead of pretending.
- The straight answer
Mostly, so would we — hardening everything to enterprise standard on day one is its own kind of waste. The framework exists to draw that line: fix what a reviewer or a real user will actually hit, and defer the rest deliberately, in writing.
- The straight answer
The audit judges a stage, not a person. AI tools compress the build; the production layer was never theirs to generate. Many technical founders adopt the report as their own roadmap — and if yours would rather close the findings internally, it is written so they can.
- The straight answer
Then you want a different vendor. We read the code before we sign anything about it, and the report says what we found — including, sometimes, that the app genuinely is in good shape. If what you need is a rubber stamp for the data room, we are not the right fit.
Our honest read
Funding changes the reader, not the code — the same MVP that carried the demo now has to satisfy an engineer paid to distrust it, and closing that gap is a scoped, finite piece of work, not a crisis.
FAQ
Funded startups questions.
QCan the audit report be handed to investors during technical diligence?
Yes — it is written for exactly that. Findings are categorised by severity with evidence and a remediation plan, the same structure a diligence reviewer produces. Sharing it, alongside the fixes you have since closed, answers most of the technical questionnaire before it is asked.
QHow fast can a funded startup get from audit to launch?
The audit reports within 72 hours of full code and environment access. If the findings fit a rescue, that runs 2–6 weeks with a fixed ship date in the SOW. A full rebuild — only when the architecture cannot carry the roadmap — runs 6–16 weeks.
QDo we have to stop building features while the work happens?
No. The audit is read-only. During a rescue we work in the same repository under a branch discipline agreed up front, so your team keeps shipping product while the production layer goes in underneath it.
QWhat happens if the audit finds the app is actually in good shape?
Then you have an independent report saying so, which is worth having in the data room regardless. The audit is fixed-price and designed to stand alone — we do not manufacture findings to justify a second engagement.
QWill you sign an NDA before seeing the code?
Yes. An NDA before code access is standard on every audit, and access is scoped to the engineers doing the review.
