Technical Due Diligence for Arlington deals.

Buy-side and sell-side technology assessments — code, architecture, team, security, and roadmap — delivered in five to ten business days with a clear executive summary. About 30 minutes from Dallas; most work happens remotely with a tight executive readout at the end.

02Why Arlington

Mid-cities pivot point with sports, manufacturing, and a university.

Arlington sits in the middle of the Metroplex — a mid-cities pivot point with sports and entertainment anchoring downtown and a working manufacturing base around the GM Assembly Plant. Companies in Arlington tend to have customers on both sides of DFW, so reporting and operations have to span Dallas-side and Fort-Worth-side workflows. A fractional CTO who serves Arlington spends real time on integration: making sure systems work no matter which side of the Metroplex the data started on. In a diligence context, that means the risk profile of a typical target in Arlington is structured by its sports & entertainment concentration — which shapes everything from key-person dependency to which vendor lock-in actually matters at close.

05Frequently asked

What Arlington deal teams ask before signing.

How fast can you turn around technical due diligence for a Arlington deal?

Five business days for a rapid letter-of-intent assessment, ten for a deeper post-LOI dive. Arlington engagements get the same cadence as the rest of DFW — most material comes in remotely, with one or two on-site sessions if the seller's team is local and willing.

What does the final deliverable look like?

A short executive summary (red flags, green flags, deal-breakers, remediation cost ranges) backed by a detailed appendix covering architecture, code quality, infrastructure, security, team, and roadmap. Built for a buyer's deal team to read in 20 minutes or read deeply in two hours.

Do you work sell-side as well as buy-side in Arlington?

Yes. Sell-side engagements help Arlington SMB owners get the technical estate in shape before a sale process — addressing the issues we'd flag if we were on the other side of the table. Engagements are typically eight to twelve weeks ahead of going to market.

What's different about a TDD in Arlington?

Arlington sits in the middle of the Metroplex — a mid-cities pivot point with sports and entertainment anchoring downtown and a working manufacturing base around the GM Assembly Plant. For diligence work, that context affects which risks actually matter — what's a deal-breaker for a sports & entertainment business in Arlington may be irrelevant for a software company across the Metroplex, and vice versa. Local context sharpens the red flags.
