Expertise
Evaluating software investments holistically – with focus on technology, product and integration.
Whether due diligence before the deal, integration afterwards, or strategic transformation – the perspective of a practitioner, not a consultant.
Common Problems in Software Deals
What 15+ integrations have taught:
“The tech DD says 'green', but after 6 months integration costs explode.”
The focus was on status quo, not on integration capability.
“The code looks clean, but the product has no product-market fit.”
Technical DD without product perspective is blind to strategic risks.
“The team seems competent, but key persons aren't retained.”
Superficial interviews don't identify real dependencies.
Principles
Practitioner Perspective
Evaluation from someone who's been responsible for products and teams. The question is always: "Would I take this on?"
Business Context
Code quality is relative. A 15-year-old ERP with solid cash flow needs different standards than a growth SaaS.
Actionable Insights
Reports don't end with "there is technical debt". Risks are quantified, concrete measures proposed.
Product + Technology
Technical decisions without product context are blind. Both are evaluated together.
