Who is this for?
Technical & AI Due Diligence is designed for private equity investors, venture capital firms, and corporate acquirers who need a clear, independent view of a target company's technology, AI capabilities, and engineering team to inform their investment decisions during M&A.
How long does Technical & AI Due Diligence take?
The assessment is scoped to fit your deal timeline. Our AI-powered analysis and Principal Consultants allow us to move at the pace of a live transaction, with data collection running through metrics analyses and interviews that require minimal demand on the target's teams.
What do we receive at the end?

A comprehensive, clear report covering eight areas: data and AI capabilities, opportunities and risks; architecture and scalability; product and code quality; cybersecurity and compliance; technical debt and maintenance; IP and technology ownership; team and process; and IT infrastructure and operations. It includes findings, insights, and actionable recommendations to support your investment decisions.

Why is this assessment important?
Technology is often the biggest hidden risk, and the biggest untapped value lever, in an acquisition. Technical & AI Due Diligence uncovers risks that could erode value post-acquisition, validates your investment thesis, strengthens your negotiation leverage, and identifies technology-enabled opportunities for growth, margin improvement, and scalability.
What happens after the assessment?
The report gives you a clear set of findings and recommendations, and Codurance can help you act on them. Post-acquisition, we work with you to implement the recommendations and deliver a value creation plan, powered by AI-accelerated software delivery, so you realise investment value faster.
Why Codurance?
Codurance is an ideal partner to deliver Technical & AI Due Diligence as its approach is grounded in software craftsmanship, developed over 13+ years in the software industry. The assessment is delivered by Principal Consultants with decades of experience, and because we don't sell AI tooling or software products, our findings are independent and shaped only by what the evidence tells us about the target's technology.
