A detailed guide on conducting technical due diligence (tech DD) during a company acquisition. Covers the full process from creating an Initial Request List (IRL) covering organizational setup, tech stack, processes, operational metrics, cybersecurity, costs, dependencies, and roadmap plans — through the messy middle phase of analyzing Data Room documents and running deep-dive sessions — to producing the final report with a recommendation, detailed analysis, and high-level integration plan. Emphasizes using open-ended questions to gauge team maturity, starting conclusions early, and keeping integration estimates coarse until the deal closes.
