The situation
You are evaluating an acquisition or investment in a technology business. The financials look right. The market opportunity is clear. But the target's technology — its codebase, infrastructure, architecture, and team — is a black box to you.
Post-transaction, technology risk has a habit of materialising in the worst possible way: unexpected rebuild costs, key-person departure, security vulnerabilities, regulatory exposure, or a system that cannot scale to meet the business plan.
What you need to know before you sign
- Is the codebase maintainable, or is it held together by one person who cannot leave?
- What does the infrastructure actually cost to run, and how does that scale?
- Are there security or compliance vulnerabilities that represent legal or reputational risk?
- Can the system handle 5× the current load without a significant rebuild?
- What is the realistic cost of the technical debt, and what is the remediation timeline?
How gigtech approaches this
We conduct an independent, structured technical assessment of the target business. We request appropriate access to the codebase, infrastructure, and team, and we review it against a consistent framework covering quality, security, scalability, and cost.
We present findings as a written report with risk scoring — structured to be read by investment professionals, not just engineers. The report is honest: we flag what is good as well as what is concerning, and we quantify risk wherever possible rather than leaving it vague.
Available in three tiers based on depth and timeline: Express (2 days), Standard (5 days), and Comprehensive (10 days).
What you should expect
A clear, written technical risk assessment delivered within the agreed timeline. A risk score that maps directly to financial exposure. The confidence to negotiate from an informed position — or to walk away from a deal that looks worse than it did before the assessment.
