Tech due diligence for startups

Clear insight into your product and tech, in one business day.

A read-only scan turns your codebase into a clear, prioritised picture: what’s strong, what to fix, and how you compare to the 300+ companies we’ve X-Rayed.

  1. 20 minutes

    Step 1

    Connect

    Read-only access, under 30 minutes of your team’s time.

  2. Automated

    Step 2

    Protect

    NDA signed the same day, with zero data retained.

  3. Same day

    Step 3

    Verify

    300+ checks, operator-verified and benchmarked to your stage.

  4. 1 Business day

    Step 4

    Act

    Three reports for investors, leadership, and your CT(P)O and team.

The deliverables

Three reports, one for every audience.

From your investors to your engineers, everyone reads it in their own language. Download all three from a secure system.

Executive summary

For investors and non-technical readers

The big picture in plain language: what’s strong, what needs work, and the five things that matter most.


  • No technical background required
  • Five key priorities
  • A clear, concise narrative

Technical leadership

For your CT(P)O

Scored areas, architecture and priorities, and security posture — prioritised by impact.


  • Benchmarked scores
  • Architecture and security posture
  • Impact-led priorities

Full findings & actions

What we assess

Six areas, benchmarked to your stage. Every score is backed by detailed evidence and reviewed by an operator.

Architecture

System design, scalability, data model and infrastructure.

Security & compliance

Vulnerability surface, auth, data privacy and compliance posture.

Code & delivery

Test coverage, CI/CD cadence and tech debt, quantified.

Team & organisation

Key-person risk, engineering culture and hiring gaps.

AI readiness

Real IP versus wrapper, model governance, build versus buy.

Product & strategy

Product-market-fit signals, roadmap quality and commercial alignment.

Beyond the score

  • Beyond the score
  • Contributor and key-person mapping
  • Test coverage across layers
  • Delivery velocity over time
  • Proprietary IP and non-trivial engineering
  • Dependency and CVE exposure
Roadmap acceleration

Align your roadmap with your commercial strategy.

A quarter of the average engineering budget builds features that don’t move the business. We map where capacity goes and rebuild the link between what you ship and what it’s worth.

  1. 01

    Roadmap audit

    Map every current roadmap item against commercial goals. Identify what drives revenue and what doesn’t.

  2. 02

    BON workshop

    Map every current roadmap item against commercial goals. Identify what drives revenue and what doesn’t.

  3. 03

    Stakeholder alignment

    Bring product, engineering, sales, and leadership together around agreed priorities.

  1. 04

    Prioritisation framework

    Install a repeatable model balancing revenue impact, effort, and strategic fit.

  2. 05

    Quarterly planning cadence

    Tie quarterly roadmap reviews to commercial KPIs and board reporting.

  3. 06

    Board-ready reporting

    Connect roadmap progress to the metrics investors care about.

Around two to three months, end to end. Scoped to your team and stage.

Team acceleration

Instead of hiring more developers, reduce your bottlenecks.

When velocity drops, the instinct is to hire. But adding people to a team with structural friction makes it worse. We find the friction that slows your team down and remove it, structurally.

Seven modules to remove friction and build speed:

  • Friction mapping

    Identify the top bottlenecks: review cycles, deployment pain, unclear ownership, knowledge silos.

  • Cadence installation

    Install the layered operating rhythm so every meeting drives a decision.

  • Team topology review

    Evaluate team structure against product architecture. Fix misalignments that create handoff overhead.

  • Key-person mitigation

    Reduce single points of failure. Spread critical knowledge through pairing, documentation, and rotation.

  • Velocity metrics

    Install meaningful delivery metrics, not vanity numbers. Track throughput, cycle time, and quality over time.

  • AI opportunities

    Identify where AI accelerates your team, from code generation to testing to documentation.

  • Hands-on coaching

    Embed operators with team leads to build and sustain better habits.

Around two to three months, with operators embedded. Scoped to your team and stage.

Security & trust

Your code is treated like it is our own.

Read-only, encrypted, and gone when we’re done, with confirmation in writing at every step.

  • Your code stays only briefly

    It lives in a secure, isolated dataroom for the engagement, encrypted and scoped to this engagement alone.

  • Read-only and revocable

    A full system walkthrough rather than a document review.

  • Zero storage, confirmed

    Nothing is kept or shared. When the dataroom is wiped, you receive written confirmation.

  • NDA by design

    Confidential from the first minute. Our template or yours, signed the same day.

  • ISO 27001, certification in progress
  • SOC 2
  • GDPR

ISO 27001 · SOC 2 Type II · Audits in progress

Customer stories

What CTOs and founders say about the X-Ray

“I had never experienced a technical due diligence process that required so little time from our team while still producing such a useful assessment.”
Nick RyabovCo-founder & CTO, Nopan
“Scaleflow went deep on both our hardware supply chain and the software behind it. A thorough process, and the recommendations were practical, exactly what we needed going into the round.”
Michael HummelsCTO, Gardia
“From kick-off to report in two weeks, right when our round needed it. Professional, pragmatic and pleasant to work with.”
Benedikt DreierCo-founder & COO, clockin
“A really helpful outside validation that the direction we’d chosen was the right one. It gave us the confidence to keep building along that path.”
Luc KlaassenDirector of Technology, Maqqie
Common questions

FAQs about technical due diligence for startups

Three ways, from granting temporary access to keeping your code entirely in your own hands. Grant our reviewer read-only access for a short while, the same way you’d onboard an engineer, and revoke it the moment the scan starts. Install a scoped GitHub or GitLab app with read access to only the repositories you choose. Or upload it yourself to a single-use, encrypted bucket. Whichever route you choose, your code runs in a locked-down EU environment, is never executed or read line by line, and nothing is sent to the US.
