Every Missed Detail Is a Future Liability

We examine the design, scalability, and resilience of software systems and cloud environments. This includes evaluating backend and frontend architecture, deployment models, and infrastructure readiness. Our goal is to ensure the technology foundation can support future growth, integration, and operational demands following an acquisition or investment.

We assess the security posture of applications and infrastructure, including data protection, access controls, and vulnerability exposure. We also evaluate how well the organization aligns with global standards such as GDPR, UKCA, CE, and ISO 27001, helping identify gaps that could pose regulatory or operational risks.

We evaluate development workflows, code quality, testing coverage, and deployment pipelines. This provides insight into the maturity, efficiency, and reliability of the engineering organization, which is critical for scaling operations and maintaining velocity post-transaction.

We assess whether the technology can support current and future product goals. This includes performance benchmarking, scalability analysis, and alignment between product strategy and technical execution. Our review helps determine if the platform is ready for market expansion or integration into a larger portfolio.

We conduct a focused review of hardware architecture, component selection, and integration with software systems. This includes evaluating design scalability, manufacturability, and readiness for certification in regulated markets. We also assess hardware lifecycle management and support for future product iterations.

We assess embedded systems with a focus on the use of real-time operating systems (RTOS), modular design, and efficient power management. Our review examines how RTOS platforms are employed for dependable scheduling and scalability, the flexibility provided by modular firmware and hardware integration, and the availability of low-power modes for energy-sensitive applications. Additionally, we evaluate strategies for over-the-air (OTA) updates, ensuring that systems can be securely and efficiently updated in the field to improve maintainability and extend product life.

We evaluate production scalability, supplier reliability, and quality control processes, with a particular emphasis on adherence to manufacturing best practices. This includes examining lean manufacturing principles, traceability protocols, and implementation of robust defect prevention measures. We also assess supply chain risk, manufacturing workflows, and readiness for volume scaling to support growth and global distribution.

We assess uptime, fault tolerance, and recovery capabilities to ensure the technology can reliably support product operations. This evaluation includes a thorough review of monitoring practices, incident response protocols, and architectural resilience under load. Additionally, we apply reliability modeling techniques to estimate product lifetime, helping to predict long-term performance and inform maintenance strategies.

We evaluate the organization’s preparedness for meeting regional and international regulatory requirements. This includes assessing documentation, processes, and product readiness for certifications such as UKCA, CE, FCC, and RCM. Our goal is to identify potential barriers to market entry and ensure alignment with applicable compliance frameworks.
