Due Diligence
Most due diligence processes outlast the deals they were meant to protect. TechSignal gives you AI-powered analysis across every critical pillar in minutes, or a complete CTO-led engagement delivered in under 2 weeks.
The problem
Traditional tech DD takes 3 to 6 weeks. Competitive rounds close in days. By the time you get results, the deal is gone. Or worse, you've already committed.
Boutique firms charge €5,000 to €15,000 per engagement. Paying €10k to evaluate a €250k pre-seed check doesn't add up, so most investors skip it entirely.
Freelance reviewers have no shared framework. Every report is different in depth, format, and quality. When your IC asks if you checked the tech, you need more than an opinion.
Coverage
Architecture decisions, test coverage, technical debt, and engineering discipline. Is this a team that ships with care?
CI/CD pipelines, error handling, monitoring and deployment practices. Will this hold up after the money wires?
Database design, caching strategy, infrastructure choices, and known bottlenecks. Can this handle 10x the current load?
Exposed secrets, dependency vulnerabilities, auth patterns, and data handling. What are the liability risks in this codebase?
Included with any Monitor subscription. Run it yourself, anytime, on any connected repo.

TechSignal scans the entire codebase across all four pillars. Findings are scored, ranked by severity, and flagged for CTO review.
A senior fractional CTO reviews every finding, adds context, and prioritises what matters most at this stage and deal size.
You receive a structured, defensible report ready to present to your IC. The complete picture: findings, severity, and recommended actions.
We pull the repository into an isolated instance solely for analysis. The source code is never stored, indexed, or retained. Only the report output is saved. Founders' IP stays theirs.
