An independent review of a company's technology before an investment or acquisition: the code, architecture, security, team and costs, and the risks they create for the deal. ### What do we get at the end? A written report: an executive summary, findings ranked by risk, a rough cost to fix the serious issues, and questions to put to the founders. ### How long does a review take? It depends on the size of the product and the deal timeline. We agree the scope and timeline before we start. ### Can you check whether a company's AI actually works? Yes. We review how the AI feature is built, how it is evaluated and what data and models it depends on, so you know whether it works as described. ### Do you need access to the source code? Read-only access gives the most reliable answer. If that is not possible, we can review architecture documents and run interviews, and the report says what could not be checked. ## Ready to turn your vision into reality? Tell us about the company and the deal timeline. We'll tell you what a review would cover and how long it would take.
