Engineering Due Diligence.

You're about to put money into a tech company. I spend 1–2 weeks inside the team and put the risks in writing before it moves.

I TO NIJE SVE!

01assessment_scope

What engineering due diligence covers.

architecture: Can it scale to 2×, 5×, 10× current users?
team_capability: Key people, bus factor, hiring maturity.
process_maturity: Is delivery predictable, or chaotic?
security_compliance: Auth, PII, GDPR posture, incident response.
operations: Monitoring, backups, what breaks first.
leadership: Gaps the investment will expose.

02whats_in_the_report

What you get. The written report.

I look for the risks that bite 18 months after the investment, not the obvious ones.

executive_summary: One page with the flags and an overall risk rating.
architecture_review: Scaling constraints, technical debt quantified.
team_assessment: Key people, dependencies, leadership strength.
process_maturity: How they actually ship.
security_ops: Where the real exposure is.
risk_assessment: What could derail growth.
90_day_roadmap: What to fix first.
recommendation: Go / No-Go / Go with conditions.

20–30 pages, plain English. For angels, VCs, acquirers, and founders assessing their own team.

A roadmap, not a gotcha.

Kick-off to finished report: 3–4 weeks.

04why_im_qualified

Why I can do this assessment.

business_and_tech: EMBA + MSc Computer Science.
16_years_leadership: Head of Engineering, Managing Director, board member.
scaled_it_myself: Teams 3→20+, €1M budgets.
regulated_environments: Swiss investment bank depth.
product_at_scale: 500K users: real operations, real incidents.

If there's a real problem, the report says so. If the team is solid, it says that too.

Engagement & process.
