Technical due diligence that’s actually useful

Technical due diligence is the assessment of a target's product, code, architecture, team, and processes before an investment closes. For VCs, it answers three things: whether the tech is fit for purpose, whether the founders' claims hold up under the hood, and whether the company can hit the milestones the deal is priced on. Traditionally it takes 3–6 weeks and is often outsourced to analysts who've never shipped a product. The X-Ray does the same job in 1 business day, operator-verified.

Traditional technical DD takes 3–6 weeks, so the claim deserves scrutiny. Two things make it possible: one is 250+ AI-powered checks run in parallel across architecture, security, code quality, team & delivery, and AI readiness. The second is senior operators: founders, CTOs, CPOs, who then verify every finding before it reaches your inbox. The target commits 30 minutes of setup time; the rest happens on our side. It's a different architecture that doesn’t sacrifice depth: AI covers the surface area, operators bring the judgment.

Read-only, and under 30 minutes of the target team's time. The NDA is signed same day (our template or yours), the target grants scoped access to their repositories, and that access is revocable at any point. Source code is analysed in-context, and nothing is stored or shared after the engagement ends. Every scan is covered by NDA, and we're working toward ISO 27001, SOC II, and full GDPR compliance. It’s non-intrusive by design, which is part of why 100% of the funds who've run an X-Ray have run another.

Operators, including founders, CTOs, and lead engineers who've built and scaled the kind of companies you're evaluating. Every finding is signed off by someone who knows what good looks like under the hood, not by a junior analyst working off a checklist. It's the difference between a report that lists issues and a report that tells you which ones matter for the deal.

Traditional technical DD firms take 3–6 weeks and lean heavily on self-reported information gathered through vendor interviews. By the time the report lands, the deal has often moved. The X-Ray inverts that: 1 business day, based on actual code and architecture, delivered before you commit. The work is done by senior operators who've shipped what they're evaluating. And every finding is written for both audiences: the deal team who need to underwrite the risk, and the CTO who needs to act on it.
