FOR PRIVATE EQUITY

The cost that's hidden until post-close

Tech debt doesn't show up on the balance sheet. It shows up in integration delays, missed milestones, and value creation plans that don't survive contact with reality. Only 9% of PE buyouts include dedicated tech DD. The other 91% find out the hard way.

YOUR JOURNEY

From pre-close clarity to portfolio-wide control

01

Pre-deal X-Ray

Run an X-Ray on any target — buyout, add-on, or carve-out. Know what the technology will actually cost over the hold period. Full assessment in 1 business day, directly connected to code repos and infrastructure.

Pre-deal X-Ray
02

Full Due Diligence

Operator-led deep dive. Interviews with CTO, engineering leads, product managers — cross-referenced against what the code actually shows. Financial impact analysis. Risk-mitigant matrix. IC-ready deliverable in 1–2 weeks. Requires 2–3 hours of the target CEO’s time.

Full Due Diligence
03

Post-close acceleration

Close the gap between the value creation plan and technical reality. For buyouts: align the product roadmap with commercial milestones. For add-ons: consolidate tech stacks and eliminate duplication. For carve-outs: separate systems and establish independence. Every initiative gets a BON business case.

Post-close acceleration
04

Operational de-risking

Reduce key-person dependency. Fix velocity blockers. Transform PM from operational to strategic. Build a team that can execute the 100-day plan — and sustain performance through the hold period, not just the first operating partner review.

Portfolio monitoring

Repeat X-Rays at 6-12 month intervals across buyouts, add-ons, and carve-outs. Track remediation, benchmark velocity and risk across the portfolio. Catch drift before it becomes a board conversation.

THE PLATFORM

Portfolio-level patterns emerge after 5+ scans

One X-Ray tells you about a company. Five tell you about your portfolio. Repeat X-Rays at 6-12 month intervals catch drift before it becomes a board conversation. Benchmark velocity, risk, and execution quality across every company you own.

Portfolio-wide drift detection

Repeat X-Ray baseline comparisons

You do financial DD on every deal. Why not tech DD?

At \u20AC5K per X-Ray, the cost is trivial compared to one post-close surprise. Start with the next deal in your pipeline.
