Question 1

How fast can you turn around a technical due diligence?

Accepted Answer

These engagements are deadline-driven, so we scope to the deal timeline. A focused pre-fundraise or pre-acquisition review can move quickly because we prioritize the highest-impact risks first; the scope, access, and turnaround are agreed up front against your closing date.

Question 2

What is in the findings report?

Accepted Answer

A stack and architecture map, a severity-rated issue log, a scalability and technical-debt assessment, a security, IP, licensing, and dependency review, a team and key-person risk read, and a remediation roadmap with severity, owner, and effort — written in deal terms a board can read, not raw engineering jargon.

Question 3

How do you protect sensitive code and deal information?

Accepted Answer

All access is scoped and NDA-bound. We start with redacted examples and read-only review, take no production writes or live third-party actions, and never expose target names, repository contents, private stacks, or credentials in our findings shape or marketing. The protect-boundary is part of the engagement.

Question 4

How is this different from a code audit?

Accepted Answer

A code audit scores quality, security, and maintainability of the code itself. Technical due diligence is broader and deal-framed: it adds architecture, scalability, team and key-person risk, IP and licensing, and dependency exposure, and reports in terms a board, investor, or acquirer can act on against a deal decision.

Question 5

Can the diligence team stay on as a fractional CTO?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Because the same engineering team can advise as a fractional CTO or technical advisor for startups, the remediation roadmap does not have to end at a report. We can embed to map decisions, set delivery standards, validate vendor claims, guide hiring, and protect the roadmap from drift after the deal closes.

Question 6

What does a fractional CTO engagement actually cover?

Accepted Answer

Senior technical judgment on architecture, hiring, and vendor calls without a full-time exec: we map the decisions, set delivery and release standards, validate technical and vendor claims in business terms, and protect the roadmap — with an agency bench behind the advisor rather than a single solo operator.
