Why this happens.
Investors and acquirers want to know what they’re buying: code quality, technical debt, scaling limits and key-person risk. They trust the report more when its author isn’t selling the fixes.
What not to do
[YOU]: the most expensive due-diligence mistake you have seen a client make before calling you.
How I’d approach it
I audit the stack, the code, the team dependencies and the scaling risk, and write a plain-language report an investor or acquirer can act on. Some Tech Work joins for the deep code review when needed.
