Technical Due Diligence for Fort Worth 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 40 minutes from Dallas; most work happens remotely with a tight executive readout at the end.
Second-largest city in DFW; aerospace, rail, and energy operationally minded.
Fort Worth is structurally different from the rest of DFW — aerospace, rail, and energy still dominate, and the business culture skews more conservative and operationally-minded than the tech-flavored north-Dallas suburbs. For a fractional CTO engagement here, the value isn't usually framing AI strategy or selecting cutting-edge stacks; it's modernizing reporting, securing legacy systems, and helping a team grounded in traditional industry adopt digital tools without disrupting what already works. In a diligence context, that means the risk profile of a typical target in Fort Worth is structured by its aerospace & defense concentration — which shapes everything from key-person dependency to which vendor lock-in actually matters at close.

What Fort Worth deal teams ask before signing.
How fast can you turn around technical due diligence for a Fort Worth deal?
Five business days for a rapid letter-of-intent assessment, ten for a deeper post-LOI dive. Fort Worth 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 Fort Worth?
Yes. Sell-side engagements help Fort Worth 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 Fort Worth?
Fort Worth is structurally different from the rest of DFW — aerospace, rail, and energy still dominate, and the business culture skews more conservative and operationally-minded than the tech-flavored north-Dallas suburbs. For diligence work, that context affects which risks actually matter — what's a deal-breaker for a aerospace & defense business in Fort Worth may be irrelevant for a software company across the Metroplex, and vice versa. Local context sharpens the red flags.
