WHAT TO EXPECT

Is your investment smart? Is it secure? Are there vulnerabilities or limitations based on processes, architecture, code, or even internal team coverage? Kickdrum offers a range of diligence programs, from expedited verbal readouts to comprehensive reports that review in-depth supporting evidence, all within a matter of days or weeks.

HOW IT WORKS

To kickoff a project, Kickdrum will gather as much information as possible with a Document Request List, individual or small group interviews, product demos, and more. Timelines and topics will be clearly outlined and mutually reviewed, and early findings will be reported within 24 hours of interviews. Report synthesis and delivery timelines will depend on depth of requested diligence, but can happen within a week if necessary.

WHAT YOU LEARN

Whether evaluating deal risk or looking for maturity, trajectory, or security insights that could impact your business, Kickdrum Technology Diligence includes strategic summaries appropriate for executive and board presentations (Kickdrum can present directly if requested), charts and graphs with easy to understand visuals, and detailed reports that cover either a snapshot view or trends, including:

• Technology strategy

• People, culture, organization, and software development process analyses

• Architecture, scalability, performance, and technical debt insights

• Cost considerations including serviceability, operational burden, security, compliance and IP

• Data room reviews and corresponding research

• Additional detailed assessments as requested, including: product strategy, AI/ML, security penetration tests, source code, and more
