What You're Actually Buying

Technology Due Diligence for M&A

A sales deck doesn't show you the technical debt you're about to inherit. I run technology due diligence for M&A and vendor consolidation — assessing what an organization is actually buying or replacing, including the integration risk and technical debt that don't show up until after the deal closes.

What this covers

Technical debt assessment

A realistic accounting of what's been deferred, patched over, or quietly worked around.

Integration risk analysis

What it actually takes to merge two technology environments, not just the org chart.

Vendor consolidation cost modeling

What a consolidated vendor list actually costs to unwind and rebuild, not just the sticker price of the new contract.

Security & compliance posture review

Whether the target's risk posture is what the data room says it is.

Post-close integration planning

A realistic runway for the technology work that has to happen after the deal, not just before it.

Who this is for

Organizations evaluating an acquisition, being acquired, or consolidating a sprawling vendor list, who need an honest technical read before committing — not after the ink is dry.

Have this problem right now?

I take on a limited number of clients at a time so every engagement gets real attention. Let's talk about scope, cadence, and fit.
