Frequently Asked Questions

How is a Technical Audit different from Technical Due Diligence?

A Technical Audit is typically commissioned by the company itself to identify risks and set direction. Technical Due Diligence is usually commissioned by an investor or acquirer to assess a target company. The methodology overlaps, but the audience and framing differ.

Does the audit require access to our codebase?

Yes, where possible. Code access enables a deeper, more accurate review. Structured interviews with your engineering team and architecture documentation are also key inputs.

What happens after the audit?

Many clients move from a Technical Audit into an ongoing Fractional CTO engagement to execute the roadmap. This is not required — the audit deliverables are complete and standalone.
