What clients say about our technical due diligence services
"Vikram's technical due diligence was instrumental in our investment decision. His thorough assessment uncovered critical issues that would have cost us millions post-acquisition."

Common questions about technical due diligence engagements
Most engagements take 2-4 weeks depending on the complexity of the technology, size of the codebase, and depth of analysis required. We can also provide expedited assessments for time-sensitive transactions, typically completing them in 1-2 weeks.
We typically need read-only access to code repositories, documentation, cloud infrastructure (view-only), and the opportunity to interview key technical team members. All access is handled under strict NDA and security protocols.
We operate under comprehensive NDAs and maintain strict confidentiality protocols. All findings are shared only with authorized parties, and we can work within virtual data rooms or other secure environments as required.
With 25+ years of experience across diverse technology stacks and industries, I can assess most modern technology platforms. For highly specialized or emerging technologies, I can bring in trusted specialist partners while maintaining overall assessment leadership.
Resistance is often a red flag itself. I work diplomatically to explain the mutual benefits of transparency and can often help facilitate cooperation. I can also conduct meaningful assessments with limited access, though findings will note any access restrictions.
Yes! Many clients engage me for post-acquisition integration support, technical debt remediation planning, or ongoing fractional CTO services to execute on the recommendations from the due diligence process.
Pricing depends on the scope, complexity, and timeline. I offer both fixed-fee engagements for standard assessments and hourly arrangements for more complex or ongoing evaluations. Contact me for a custom quote based on your specific needs.
Unlike consulting firms that send junior analysts, you get my personal attention and 25+ years of hands-on CTO experience. I've been on both sides of M&A transactions and understand both the technical and business implications of findings.
