Technical Due Diligence for M&A
Evaluating technology risk in acquisition context.
Technical due diligence is a structured way to understand technology risk in an acquisition context.
What this field covers
Architecture, technical debt, security posture, engineering capability, continuity and integration readiness.
Why it matters
A deal can inherit technology constraints that are invisible in a short product demonstration. Clear evidence helps decision-makers see what needs attention.
Relevant experience
I have contributed to technical assessments and post-acquisition platform alignment in digital commerce contexts.
Principles and decision framework
Separate evidence from opinion, surface the risks first, test the assumptions that affect continuity and give each finding an owner and next step.
Trade-offs and failure modes
A data-room review is quicker than code-level inspection but less complete. The right depth depends on the decision, access and time available.
Selected outcomes
The related work page records a risk-managed integration outcome without claiming a deal result.
