In short
A structured review of a software product, codebase, or technical organisation before an investment, acquisition, or major contract.
It examines architecture quality, security posture, team capability, technical debt, and operational risk.
Where it bites
Technical due diligence matters before money, contracts, or launch dates depend on an assumption. It turns vague technical confidence into evidence a buyer or board can inspect.
What to check
- Which evidence would change the decision?
- What is still assumed but not verified?
- Who carries the risk if the assumption is wrong?
