Due Diligence Risk Score Calculator

Technical due diligence often happens under time pressure. Investors, founders, and acquirers need an early view of platform risk before committing weeks of interviews, architecture review, code analysis, and operational assessment. This tool provides a structured first-pass assessment across the areas that most often influence software execution and investment outcomes.

The baseline model evaluates seven categories: architecture fitness, technical debt, engineering delivery health, team and key-person risk, security and compliance, cloud and infrastructure efficiency, and product/roadmap realism. Each category contributes a weighted score using a 20/20/15/15/15/10/5 model aligned to practical diligence risk.

The assessment combines signals such as deployment reliability, operational stability, test coverage, release quality, documentation maturity, security controls, infrastructure practices, and roadmap confidence. The goal is not perfect prediction; it is to surface patterns that deserve deeper investigation.

The score is directional and does not replace full technical due diligence. Real diligence includes architecture review, code inspection, infrastructure analysis, interviews, dependency mapping, and business context that cannot be fully captured in a questionnaire.

Use this assessment to identify concerns early, compare multiple companies consistently, estimate remediation effort, and create a clear starting point for a deeper review. Results include a risk band, recommendation, top findings, and estimated remediation range.

Current output is most useful as an early screening layer. In full diligence, cloud efficiency should also be interpreted relative to revenue (for example infrastructure spend as a percentage of revenue), not only absolute monthly spend.
