Technical Due Diligence for Plano 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 20 minutes from Dallas; most work happens remotely with a tight executive readout at the end.
Corporate-dense, affluent, family-oriented North Dallas suburb.
Plano is the closest thing North Texas has to a corporate-HQ corridor — Legacy West alone houses dozens of Fortune 500 regional offices. For SMBs and growth-stage startups operating here, that means competing for senior tech talent against deep-pocketed enterprise teams and partnering with vendors whose default reference customer runs an enterprise IT department. A fractional CTO who knows Plano helps you punch above your weight on both fronts. In a diligence context, that means the risk profile of a typical target in Plano is structured by its corporate hqs concentration — which shapes everything from key-person dependency to which vendor lock-in actually matters at close.

What Plano deal teams ask before signing.
How fast can you turn around technical due diligence for a Plano deal?
Five business days for a rapid letter-of-intent assessment, ten for a deeper post-LOI dive. Plano 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 Plano?
Yes. Sell-side engagements help Plano 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 Plano?
Plano is the closest thing North Texas has to a corporate-HQ corridor — Legacy West alone houses dozens of Fortune 500 regional offices. For diligence work, that context affects which risks actually matter — what's a deal-breaker for a corporate hqs business in Plano may be irrelevant for a software company across the Metroplex, and vice versa. Local context sharpens the red flags.
