Decision support
Technical Due Diligence
An independent technical read for investors, acquirers, and boards. Written for a non-technical reader who has to make a decision.
When businesses engage Blobb for this
- A transaction depends on a roadmap that has not been independently costed
- Scalability claims need to be read against the current architecture
- Key-person, security, or compliance exposure is unclear
- Technical debt is described with adjectives instead of effort
What the work involves
Blobb reviews architecture quality, scaling headroom, delivery practice, security posture, and key-person exposure. Technical debt is translated into effort and business consequence. The presented roadmap is costed against the current system and team. Material uncertainty is named rather than hidden behind a score.
What you get
- An executive decision brief
- A risk and evidence register
- Technical debt quantified in effort
- A costed read of the presented roadmap
- Questions and conditions for the decision
How it is engaged
Due diligence is bounded by the decision and its timeline. It can be billed hourly against an agreed volume or offered as a fixed commitment based on the estimated time. Its method draws from the architecture audit, but the output is written for the transaction or board decision.
