The deck says it scales, it's secure and the AI is proprietary. You have weeks, not months, to find out whether that's true.
Architecture diagrams that describe the plan, not the product running today.
A model "built in-house" that turns out to be a thin layer over someone else's API, with no rights to the data.
Cloud bills that grow faster than revenue, hidden until the next funding round.
Six areas, one reportRated by deal risk
The full
picture
Does it scale to the plan in the model? Where does it break first, and what does fixing it cost?
Code quality, test coverage, release cadence and technical debt, measured, not described.
Identity, data protection, open vulnerabilities and incident history. Compliance claims checked against evidence.
Unit economics of the platform: cost per customer today, at 3× and at 10×. Savings available after close.
What the AI really is, who owns the models and data, and whether the moat survives a competitor with the same API.
Key-person risk, hiring gaps and whether the roadmap is deliverable by the team that's there.

Discreet by defaultYour deal · Your rules
NDA first
Signed before we see a single document.
Your access only
We work from the data room and the access you arrange. No contact with the target without your say-so.
Independent
We don't pitch the target for work while the deal is live.
Plain English
Written for a deal team, not a dev team. Every finding says what it means for the deal.
What deal teams ask firstShort answers · No spin
Do you only review Microsoft-based companies?
Our deepest expertise is Azure and the Microsoft stack, and that's where our cost and security benchmarks come from. Talk to us about the target and we'll be straight about fit.
How fast can you start?
Usually within a few working days of the NDA. Tell us the deal timeline on the first call and we'll say whether we can meet it.
Can you help after the deal closes?
Yes. The 100-day plan turns findings into work, and as a Microsoft partner we can often find funding to cover part of it.
