# Technical due diligence preparation

Get the technology, code and security story in order before investors or an acquirer ask, so diligence confirms the plan instead of derailing it.

[Talk through this workflow](https://lidvizion.ai/contact/?need=fractional-cto&from=%2Fuse-cases%2Ftechnical-due-diligence-prep%2F#write) · [Fractional CTO](https://lidvizion.ai/services/fractional-cto/)

Where it starts

## The trigger.

A fundraise, acquisition or large customer contract is coming, and technical questions will follow.

How it runs today

- Nobody has written down how the system is built or who owns what.
- Known risks surface for the first time in front of the other side.
- Answers depend on one engineer’s memory.

The workflow

## Four bounded steps.

Each step has an owner and a stop rule.

1. 01 / Inventory
   List the systems, code ownership, vendors, licences and data flows.
2. 02 / Review
   Check architecture, security basics, costs and delivery process against what diligence asks.
3. 03 / Remediate
   Fix the quick wins and write a dated plan for the rest.
4. 04 / Present
   Prepare a short technical overview and a document room with the evidence.

Where people stay in control

## Approval points.

- Leadership decides what is disclosed and how.
- Every claim in the overview is checked against evidence.

How we would measure it

## Against a baseline.

Measured before and after, on the same work.

### Open diligence questions and time to answer each.

### Risks found internally before the other side found them.

### Remediation items closed before the deadline.
