Architecture and reliability review
How the system is put together, where it will break under growth, and which coupling will make the next change disproportionately expensive.
Technical audit, code review and technical due diligence.
A technical audit answers one question honestly: what will hurt, in what order, and what will it cost to fix. We review architecture, code, infrastructure and delivery, then hand over a ranked list you can act on — or show an investor.

When teams call us
We are about to commit to a rewrite and we want a second opinion first.
An investor is asking technical questions we cannot answer with confidence.
We inherited a codebase and nobody can tell us how bad it actually is.
What the work covers
Code quality and technical debt mapping
Not a linter report. Where the debt is concentrated, what it costs per feature, and which parts are safe to leave alone — because not all debt is worth repaying.
Security and compliance posture
Authentication, authorisation, secret handling, dependency exposure and data flows, mapped against the obligations you actually carry.
Delivery and developer experience
Build times, test coverage where it matters, environment setup and release process — the operational drag that slows a team without showing up in any ticket.
Technical due diligence for investors
The same review framed for a non-engineering audience: risk, key-person dependency, scalability and remediation cost, in language a fund can act on.
What you get
- A written report with findings ranked by impact and effort
- A risk map covering architecture, security and delivery
- A remediation roadmap you can hand to your team or an investor
- Effort estimates for each recommendation
- A strategy session to walk through the findings and argue with them

Questions we hear
- How long does an audit take?
- Typically one to three weeks depending on codebase size and how many people we need to talk to. Audits can usually start within five to seven business days.
- Do we have to commit to the fixes afterwards?
- No. The audit is scoped as a discrete engagement precisely so you get an independent read. Plenty of clients take the report to their own team — that is a valid outcome.
- Will you sign an NDA?
- Yes, as a matter of course. Access is scoped to what the review requires and nothing beyond it.
- Is this useful before fundraising?
- That is one of the most common reasons teams book it. Knowing your own technical risks before diligence starts is considerably better than discovering them in a data room.
