Make Technical Decisions Based on Data, Not Guesswork
Objective technical assessments from CTOs with 20+ years of experience in software engineering, architecture, and founding successful companies.
Critical Decisions Require Technical Clarity
Considering an Acquisition?
Don't buy technical debt. Know exactly what you're getting before signing.
Fix or Rewrite?
Get data-driven recommendations on whether to refactor or rebuild from scratch.
Scaling Concerns?
Understand your technical bottlenecks and infrastructure limitations before they become critical.
Comprehensive Technical Assessments
We evaluate your software across nine critical dimensions to give you a complete picture
Coding Practices
Architecture patterns, security vulnerabilities, code quality, and maintainability analysis
Testing & Quality
Test coverage, automated testing strategies, and quality assurance processes
Design & Extensibility
Architectural flexibility, design patterns, and ability to scale with new requirements
API Design
RESTful patterns, versioning, documentation, and integration capabilities
Database Architecture
Schema design, query optimization, scalability, and data integrity
Infrastructure & Deployment
CI/CD pipelines, containerization, monitoring, and deployment strategies
Security & Permissions
Authentication, authorization, data protection, and compliance readiness
Multi-Tenant Readiness
Tenant isolation, data segregation, and SaaS scalability assessment
GenAI Integration Potential
Opportunities for AI enhancement and competitive advantages
Our Methodology
Deep Code Analysis
We analyze the complete codebase—backend, frontend, infrastructure, and tests—to understand the true technical state.
Quantitative Metrics
Lines of code, test coverage, cyclomatic complexity, tech debt ratio—we measure what matters.
Clear Recommendations
No vague opinions. You'll get specific, prioritized recommendations with effort estimates and risk assessments.
Business Context
Technical recommendations aligned with your business goals—acquisition, scaling, team growth, or market expansion.
