01 / Entry Economics / Acquirer
We find the money hiding in the code.
The AI Tech Report turns technical diligence into acquisition leverage. In one week, it produces an evidence-grade verdict on software condition and catalogs the findings that can change price, terms, repair exposure, and post-close investment.
Designed for $10M–$50M software acquisitions.

Proof of instrument
Evidentiary clarity is the product. Repeatability makes it an instrument.
The AI Tech Report compresses a large technical evidence surface into the small number of findings that can change the transaction while preserving the source, confirmation status, and reasoning behind every material conclusion.
deal-relevant findings retained after connection, confirmation, and synthesis.
Nine of nine AI Tech Report runs produced bit-identical output. Repository-analysis tools commonly used by developers to monitor their own code produced identical output in one of six runs.

Examine the sample report The financial case
Technical diligence becomes acquisition leverage.
What we find, we prove. What we prove reaches the economics.
A clean result validates software condition and strengthens conviction. Material repair exposure is cataloged and scoped so the deal team can reflect it in price, terms, risk allocation, and post-close investment.
- Validate the software assumptions supporting the purchase price
- Surface material exposure before it transfers at close
- Scope repair against the team's demonstrated delivery capacity
- Test whether the product can support the value-creation plan
- Give the investment committee and technical reviewer one consistent account of the asset
The asset beneath the revenue
Revenue proves demand. The code shows what the buyer inherits.
Production software can serve a substantial user base faithfully while carrying material technical exposure. AI-assisted development can move code into production faster than review and governance can absorb. Legacy systems can accumulate the same exposure over years.
The transaction inherits the architecture, security, scalability, provenance, dependencies, code history, and team concentration behind the revenue.
- Can the architecture support the growth thesis?
- Do security and governance support the asset's risk profile?
- Where do provenance, licensing, or model dependencies create exposure?
- How much repair and operating burden transfers at close?
- Does the codebase support the product's claimed differentiation?
The AI Tech Report
A clear condition. An inspectable basis.
The AI Tech Report resolves technical condition into Clean & Ready, Price for Repair, or Not Production-Grade. Every verdict retains its transaction relevance, source, and confirmation status.
Clean & Ready
The software's architecture, security, provenance, scalability, and operating condition support the contemplated transaction and growth thesis.
Price for Repair
The product is viable, with repair requirements the deal team can reflect in price, terms, risk allocation, and post-close investment.
Not Production-Grade
The evidence identifies material deficiencies in security, reliability, scalability, provenance, maintainability, or governance that reach the asset's ability to perform as underwritten.
Executive conclusion
Clean & Ready, Price for Repair, or Not Production-Grade—with the reasoning behind the condition.
Transaction relevance
Repair exposure, continuity, purchase assumptions, and future investment burden.
Full evidence record
Architecture, security, history, provenance, licensing, model dependence, and team concentration.
Decision-ready synthesis
A common account for the investment committee, CTO, lender, insurer, and operating team.
A concise committee verdict backed by evidence a CTO can inspect.
Examine the sample reportEvidence discipline
Concise enough for the committee. Inspectable by the CTO.
The executive verdict and the technical record are two levels of the same report. Decision-makers receive a concise account of condition and transaction relevance; technical reviewers can inspect the evidence beneath every material conclusion.
Confirmed means reproduced.
Material findings receive confirmed status through an independent method.
Every material conclusion retains its source.
The report preserves the origin, evidence, and confirmation status of each finding.
Coverage and confidence remain visible.
Measured surfaces, unavailable artifacts, and their effect on confidence are explicit.
Materiality follows the transaction thesis.
Findings are weighted against the purchase assumptions, value-creation plan, and financial exposure.
Target code remains controlled.
Analysis runs in the target environment or a controlled mirror. The engagement returns findings rather than a copy of the target's codebase.
