Technical Due Diligence for Garland 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 25 minutes from Dallas; most work happens remotely with a tight executive readout at the end.
Established working-class to middle-class manufacturing center.
Garland is one of the largest manufacturing centers in North Texas, with established companies in food production, industrial equipment, and consumer goods. For Garland businesses, the fractional-CTO conversation is rarely about modern web stacks — it's about ERP modernization, factory-floor data integration, and AI applied to maintenance, scheduling, and quality control. A fractional CTO who serves Garland needs to be fluent in industrial-software vocabulary, not just SaaS. In a diligence context, that means the risk profile of a typical target in Garland is structured by its manufacturing concentration — which shapes everything from key-person dependency to which vendor lock-in actually matters at close.

What Garland deal teams ask before signing.
How fast can you turn around technical due diligence for a Garland deal?
Five business days for a rapid letter-of-intent assessment, ten for a deeper post-LOI dive. Garland 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 Garland?
Yes. Sell-side engagements help Garland 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 Garland?
Garland is one of the largest manufacturing centers in North Texas, with established companies in food production, industrial equipment, and consumer goods. For diligence work, that context affects which risks actually matter — what's a deal-breaker for a manufacturing business in Garland may be irrelevant for a software company across the Metroplex, and vice versa. Local context sharpens the red flags.
