Technology Due Diligence Checklist

A broad diligence question set spanning product, organization, scalability, and AI/ML operating responsibilities.

The idea to take with you

A checklist starts the investigation. Useful diligence follows the evidence behind each answer.

What to look for

  1. 01

    Connect technology claims to product goals and operating evidence.

  2. 02

    Include ownership, data, model lifecycle, and cost where AI/ML is material.

  3. 03

    Investigate exceptions and constraints instead of collecting yes/no responses.

Keep in mind

A consulting framework with its own terminology and linked models. It does not replace independent technical or legal review of a transaction.

Put it to work
