# CodeDD

> CodeDD is the leading AI-powered platform for technical due diligence automation. It delivers institutional-grade software intelligence in hours — full codebase coverage, validated security findings, architecture mapping, portfolio analytics, and financial exposure modeling — for M&A advisors, private equity, venture capital, and companies preparing for transactions.

CodeDD automates what traditionally takes advisory teams weeks of manual CTO review. Every file in scope receives AI-assisted analysis with multi-agent verification, confidence scores, and evidence trails. Source code is processed in ephemeral, encrypted environments with zero retention — making CodeDD suitable for cross-border M&A, competitive deals, and sell-side preparation where IP protection is non-negotiable.

**Primary audiences:** M&A advisory firms (Big Four and independent), private equity (pre-deal diligence and continuous portco monitoring through the hold period), venture capital (pre-investment and growth-stage assessment), and target companies running sell-side preparation before a process or data room.

**Delivery models:** Cloud audits (OAuth to GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps, Bitbucket) or local-first analysis via the CodeDD CLI when source must never leave the client's network. Findings sync to portfolio dashboards; only metadata and results are retained.

## Who We Serve

**M&A Advisors & Transaction Services (PwC, EY, Big Four, independent advisors):** Firm-wide TechDD delivery with IC-ready memos, 70%+ reduction in expert review time, validated findings with evidence trails, and custom firm domains. Pay-per-deal or integrated platform with SSO and API.

**Private Equity:** Pre-deal diligence before signing, continuous portco monitoring through the hold period, and exit-ready evidence of risk reduction and value creation. Portfolio Dashboard with financial exposure modeling, audit-over-time comparison, and board-pack metrics.

**Venture Capital:** Pre-investment technical assessment for growth-stage and Series rounds, AI-Native scoring to distinguish genuine AI IP from wrappers, and portfolio-wide benchmarking across fund companies.

**Target Companies & Sell-side Preparation:** Zero-retention analysis so founders and sellers can prepare for investor diligence without IP risk. Share audit results directly with advisors and buyers; improve code quality while satisfying data-room requirements.

## Portfolio Platform

The CodeDD Portfolio Dashboard aggregates multi-repository group audits into executive-grade intelligence. Key capabilities available after audit completion:

**Executive Health Indicators (Overview):** Code Health Score, Key Person Dependency, Innovation & Delivery (with DORA tier), IP & Security Status, and Scalability Index (Operational Index + Architecture Tier T1–T5). AI-Assessed Benchmark across seven categories: Quality, Functionality, Performance, Security, Compatibility, Documentation, Standards. Peer-comparison graph with audit-over-time velocity tracking.

**Architecture (Estate Map):** Domain × role swim-lane visualization, architecture KPI strip, and the Architecture Leveling System — six pillars (Deployment Model, Data Architecture, Communication Style, Infrastructure Maturity, Scaling Mechanisms, Operational Maturity) mapped to a five-tier scalability model with evidence and upgrade roadmaps.

**Development Activity:** Active developer metrics, bus factor risk, programming language distribution, cyclomatic complexity profiles, DORA delivery performance (deployment frequency, lead time, change failure rate, MTTR), Repository Activity Compass (innovation vs. maintenance), domain workload Sankey, and test coverage analysis.

**Security & Supply Chain:** Validated Security Score with multi-stage finding validation (reducing false positives), Portfolio Risk Overview, Supply Chain Vulnerabilities (direct and transitive CVEs, SBOM, license compliance), and Issue Compass — an interactive security explorer with OWASP distribution, severity × domain cross-filters, and CSV export.

**AI-Native Assessment:** Six-pillar AI maturity scoring (Product Embedding, Model Integration, Retrieval/Data Plane, MLOps & Evaluation, Adoption Velocity, Platform Readiness) with usage classification: AI as Product, AI Augmented, AI Exploratory, or No AI Signal — critical for evaluating AI-native targets and wrapper vs. genuine AI IP.

**Financial Exposure (Beta):** Modeled OPEX debt-carrying cost, one-time CAPEX remediation, key-person departure scenarios, and investment requirement tables with expandable proof-of-calculation — tying technical findings to deal economics.

**Remediation Workflow:** Progress tracking, gamified milestones, leaderboard, issue browser for flags and vulnerabilities, and CodeDD CLI integration for agent-assisted fix workflows.

Enterprise features include multi-repo group audits, role-based access (initiator, reviewer, submitter), organization maturity staging (Pre-Seed through IPO), configurable quality and coverage targets, saved Issue Compass views, compare-across-audits overlay, and IC-ready portfolio executive memos.
