Verdict up front: A proper technical due diligence for private equity is not a code review. It is a five-day examination of what would reprice your deal or detonate post-close—architecture that caps growth at the thesis number, security debt the quality-of-earnings never touched, key-person risk locked in the codebase, and infrastructure running on a founder’s

Compare true costs of contractors vs employees—pay, taxes, benefits, ramp time, productivity, and misclassification risk.

You are three weeks from signing an LOI, the quality-of-earnings report is landing next week, and someone on the deal team just asked who is going to tell you whether this business can actually run at the scale your model assumes. That is the operational question, and it is different from the financial one. A
