Does the technology support the investment thesis?
Technology due diligence for investors who need to understand where hidden technology risks could affect value, scalability, cost, integration or execution.
A business may look commercially attractive, but hidden technology risk can still undermine the investment case. Non-obvious issues in the platform, codebase, team, integrations or technical ownership can slow execution, create unexpected cost, restrict scalability, or introduce post-deal drag that only becomes visible after completion. LumenStrata helps buyers understand where those risks sit, how material they are, and whether they could affect the thesis before capital is committed.
How We Help.
- 01
Thesis Alignment
We start by understanding the investment thesis, acquisition rationale, growth assumptions and areas of concern, so the diligence focuses on the technology risks that could materially affect the deal.
- 02
Structured Risk Assessment
We review documentation, systems, architecture, codebase indicators and delivery artefacts, supported by stakeholder interviews where appropriate. The assessment covers our core diligence areas, with deeper examination where the thesis or early findings warrant it.
- 03
Commercial Impact
We separate normal technical debt from issues that could affect valuation, scalability, integration, delivery confidence or post-acquisition cost. The focus is on what matters commercially, not theoretical technical perfection.
- 04
Remediation Cost & Effort
We identify what may need fixing, how urgent it is, and the likely cost, effort and sequencing required to address material issues after completion.
- 05
Decision-Ready Reporting
Findings are presented in a clear, pragmatic report that highlights key risks, materiality, mitigations and recommended next steps, helping investors make an informed decision with technical confidence.
- 01
VDR & Information Request Setup
A concise request list for the materials needed to support a credible technology review. Where useful, LumenStrata can also provide a structured VDR setup to make the process easier to manage.
- 02
Structured Evidence Review
A focused review of the available documentation, architecture, codebase indicators, delivery artefacts and supporting evidence across the areas most likely to affect the deal.
- 03
Interim Findings Report
A clear interim view of emerging risks, gaps and diligence themes, giving the deal team early visibility before the final report is completed.
- 04
Target Team Interviews
Constructive interviews with relevant technical, product and operational stakeholders to test the evidence, understand context and identify risks not visible in the documents.
- 05
Final Findings Report
A commercially focused report covering key risks, materiality, mitigations, remediation priorities and post-acquisition considerations, supported by technical detail where required.
- 06
Findings Presentation & Q&A
A walkthrough of the findings with the deal team and relevant stakeholders, focused on implications for the transaction, thesis and next steps.
