Pre-LOI ERI
Deal partner · before LOI
Board-ready scorecard across all 15 dimensions, Tier-1 disqualifier list, repricing-leverage memo, and a hand-off list for the data room.
Code-only enterprise-readiness diligence for Operating Partners at mid-market PE firms — 15 dimensions, scored in 10 business days. Every one a question your largest deal will eventually ask.
Book a 15-min scoping call →01 The problem
Most upmarket theses fail in the codebase before they fail in the market. No tenant isolation. No enterprise single sign-on. No audit trail. A dependency tree full of known, high-severity vulnerabilities. One engineer who owns the entire release pipeline. By the time the largest deal stalls on a security review, it’s a six-month problem. The Enterprise Readiness Index finds these gaps before you commit the 100-day plan.
02 How it works
Read-only mirror, full git history, lockfiles, and infrastructure-as-code. NDA signed before access.
100% of code, the dependency tree, infrastructure-as-code, and CI/CD pipelines. AI-augmented scanners purpose-built for 15 dimensions.
15-dimension scorecard, dollar-tagged Tier-1 findings, repricing memo, hand-off list, 100-day-plan integration brief.
03 The 15 dimensions
Tier 1 decides whether the thesis survives. Tier 2 measures how fast the team can execute. Tier 3 is what a future acquirer will scrutinize. Select any dimension to see what we look for in the code.
