Technology & Business Impact Assessment

You're evaluating a SaaS acquisition or preparing a portfolio company for exit. You need a clear picture of the technology asset. But the typical approach, two weeks of interviews, a report full of RAG statuses, and a consultant who's gone before anything changes, gives you a technology inventory, not a business assessment.

Your commercial, financial, and technology diligence streams are running in parallel but never connecting their findings. The margin assumptions depend on a cost structure no one has pressure-tested. The growth plan depends on a product organization whose capacity hasn't been validated. The exit story depends on a technology narrative no one has examined from the buyer's perspective.

I assess a technology asset the way I would if I were about to inherit the entire business. Yes, the architecture and the technical debt. But also the cost structure and whether the margins can survive the next phase of growth. The customer experience and whether the product is building loyalty or eroding it. The go-to-market motion and whether the technology can support what sales is promising. The organizational dynamics and whether the leadership team can execute. And the AI readiness, whether the company is positioned for the shift or falling behind it.

The result isn't a technology report. It's a business impact assessment that connects every finding to the deal thesis, the integration plan, and the exit story.
