Technical Due Diligence for McKinney 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.
Fast-growing affluent family suburb with a real downtown.
McKinney has been among the fastest-growing cities in the U.S. for over a decade — its tech and operational employer base has filled in steadily behind that growth (SRS Distribution, Encore Wire, the Watters Creek office campuses). For SMBs operating in McKinney, the practical fractional-CTO work tends to be infrastructure that scales with the city: hiring plans, vendor selection, and reporting that won't need a rebuild in 18 months. In a diligence context, that means the risk profile of a typical target in McKinney is structured by its distribution & wholesale concentration — which shapes everything from key-person dependency to which vendor lock-in actually matters at close.

What McKinney deal teams ask before signing.
How fast can you turn around technical due diligence for a McKinney deal?
Five business days for a rapid letter-of-intent assessment, ten for a deeper post-LOI dive. McKinney 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 McKinney?
Yes. Sell-side engagements help McKinney 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 McKinney?
McKinney has been among the fastest-growing cities in the U.S. For diligence work, that context affects which risks actually matter — what's a deal-breaker for a distribution & wholesale business in McKinney may be irrelevant for a software company across the Metroplex, and vice versa. Local context sharpens the red flags.
