Technical Due Diligence

Also known as Tech Diligence, Technology Due Diligence, TDD

Definition

Technical due diligence evaluates whether a technology company's product, architecture, infrastructure, engineering organization, security posture, data model, and delivery process can support the transaction thesis. It turns technical risk into commercial, financial, and integration implications.

Technical diligence should not be a code review in isolation. The real question is how the technology affects EBITDA, customer retention, roadmap confidence, security exposure, and integration timing.

In middle-market deals, the winning diligence memo translates engineering findings into buyer decisions.
