How We'd Run Technical Due Diligence for an Acquisition
An engagement blueprint for independent technical due diligence on a SaaS acquisition target: a fixed-scope, four-week deep dive that quantifies technical debt and security risk before money changes hands.
Type: Illustrative engagement blueprint — not a client claim
Timeline: 3–4 weeks (fixed scope)

These are example engagements — illustrative blueprints that show how we work, not client claims. Cloudrix launched in 2026 (KVK 97732699); we'd rather show you exactly how we approach real problems than invent testimonials. Your project could be our first named case study — early clients get featured placement and case-study pricing.
The Typical Situation
The typical situation: an investor is evaluating a SaaS company whose management claims a modern, scalable stack. The buyer needs independent verification before committing — because undisclosed technical debt discovered after closing routinely costs seven figures to remediate, and the seller's own materials are not a neutral source.
How We'd Approach It
We'd run a fixed-scope, four-week assessment: architecture review, code quality analysis (SonarQube plus manual review of the riskiest modules), security posture review, load testing against claimed capacity, team and key-person-risk evaluation, and infrastructure cost analysis. The output is a report with per-system risk ratings, a quantified technical-debt estimate with the methodology shown (so you can challenge our numbers), and a prioritized post-acquisition remediation roadmap with cost estimates. We report what we find — including 'the stack is fine,' if it is.
What You'd Get
- Written due-diligence report with per-system risk ratings
- Technical-debt quantification with transparent estimation methodology
- Security findings with severity ratings and remediation costs
- Load-test results validating (or refuting) claimed scalability
- Team capability and key-person-risk assessment
- 90-day post-acquisition remediation roadmap with cost estimates
