FOR INVESTORS & DUE DILIGENCE

Understand the technology before the decision.

Examine supportability, technical debt and likely remediation exposure before a material investment or transaction.

Discuss technical due diligence →

The technical question behind the decision.

Commercial performance can obscure technical liabilities that affect scalability, security, integration, valuation and the cost of future change.

WHAT COMPASS ADDS

Move from public signals to the material that explains them.

Begin with the deployed application, examine the repository when necessary, and involve a specialist where the software cannot be assessed in isolation.

01
OUTSIDE-IN

Compass Scan

Automated external assessment

Compass Scan examines what can be observed from a deployed application, including security basics, privacy signals, runtime behaviour, performance, production readiness and public search visibility.

02
INSIDE THE CODE

Compass Code

Customer-controlled repository assessment

Analyse repository and engineering evidence inside your controlled environment without requiring source code to be transferred to Blue Top.

03
SPECIALIST REVIEW

Compass Assessment

Specialist independent assessment

Examine the software alongside its architecture, delivery history, vendor model, operating environment and business constraints.

Questions the assessment can address.

  • Is the platform supportable?
  • Can the architecture scale?
  • What dependency risks exist?
  • How much technical debt is accumulating?
  • What future remediation cost should be expected?

Material examined.

  • Architecture and scalability indicators
  • Dependency and lifecycle risk
  • Technical debt patterns
  • Security and operational maturity
  • Executive remediation priorities
