Technology Assessments

Comprehensive evaluation of your technology stack, team capabilities, and delivery processes

Overview

A Tek42 technology assessment provides an objective, thorough evaluation of your technology landscape. We assess your stack, architecture, team, processes, and infrastructure, then deliver actionable recommendations prioritised by business impact.

Whether you’re preparing for a funding round, considering an acquisition, or want to understand your technical health, our assessments provide clarity for informed decisions.

What We Assess

Architecture & Technology Stack: System design, technology choices, API patterns, data architecture, scalability, and security posture. You receive architecture diagrams, stack evaluation, and modernisation recommendations.

Code Quality & Technical Debt: Code maintainability, test coverage, documentation quality, and debt accumulation. You receive quality metrics, debt quantification, and prioritised refactoring recommendations.

Team Structure & Capabilities: Organisational structure, skill gaps, team efficiency, and engineering culture. You receive hiring priorities, training plans, and retention risk assessment.

Development Processes: SDLC effectiveness, CI/CD maturity, code review processes, and incident management. You receive process improvements and delivery velocity opportunities.

Infrastructure & Operations: Cloud configuration, cost optimisation, monitoring, disaster recovery, and DevOps maturity. You typically find 20-40% cost reduction opportunities.

How It Works

Week 1 - Discovery: Kickoff meeting, document review, codebase access, and team interviews (5-10 key people).

Week 2 - Analysis: Deep-dive code review, architecture analysis, infrastructure audit, and industry benchmarking.

Week 3 - Synthesis: Findings compilation, impact analysis, recommendations development, and roadmap creation.

Week 4 - Delivery: Executive presentation, detailed report, technical walkthrough, and Q&A sessions. Includes 90-day follow-up check-in.

What You Receive

• Executive Summary (5-10 pages): Key findings, risk assessment, high-priority recommendations, ROI projections
• Technical Deep-Dive (30-50 pages): Detailed analysis with architecture diagrams and metrics
• Prioritised Roadmap: Quick wins (0-3 months), medium-term (3-6 months), strategic initiatives (6-12 months)
• Presentations & Workshops: 2-hour executive presentation and 3-hour technical team workshop

Who It’s For

Due Diligence: Investors evaluating technical risk, acquirers assessing M&A targets, companies preparing for funding rounds.

Strategic Planning: CEOs needing objective evaluation, boards seeking independent assessment, new CTOs establishing baseline.

Course Correction: Organisations struggling with delivery velocity, facing scalability challenges, or dealing with quality issues.

Risk Management: Compliance-driven audits, regulated industry validation, proactive technical debt management.

Assessment Options

• Standard Assessment (3-4 weeks): Comprehensive evaluation across all areas
• Focused Assessment (1-2 weeks): Deep-dive in specific areas like security or architecture
• Rapid Assessment (3-5 days): High-level evaluation for time-sensitive needs
• Quarterly Reviews: Ongoing progress tracking and emerging issue identification

Common Findings

Based on our assessments, organisations typically discover 30-40% cloud cost reduction opportunities, critical technical debt slowing delivery by 30-50%, scalability bottlenecks, process inefficiencies adding 20-30% to delivery time, and security vulnerabilities requiring remediation.
