Software quality is a value creation lever.
CodeDD helps you improve it.
Automated, continuous monitoring of software risk across your portfolio – so you can drive technical improvement, reduce risk, and build a stronger valuation story from acquisition to exit.
The challenge
You manage financial, operational, and commercial performance.
The technology layer is harder to see.
Software quality is rarely tracked with the same rigour as financial or sales performance. That gap creates risk across the holding period and at exit.
Technical debt accumulates silently
Debt compounds unchecked without visibility, consuming engineering capacity and slowing development.
Capital allocation is hard to verify
Is engineering investment driving growth or maintaining legacy code? Without data, you cannot know.
Key person risk goes unquantified
Core IP in the hands of one or two developers won't show up on a financial report – until it's too late.
Exit surprises erode valuation
Debt and security gaps found during buyer diligence leave no time to fix what should have been caught earlier.
How CodeDD helps
A continuous view of technical quality – across every portco, across the full holding period.
CodeDD automates the analysis of software quality, security, and technical debt – translating engineering complexity into clear metrics you can track, improve, and report on at board level.
Establish a baseline at acquisition
Full codebase analysis within 24 hours. Understand code quality, security posture, debt load, and key person risk before the improvement programme begins.
Drive improvement through the holding period
Track technical metrics quarter on quarter. Prioritise remediation and hold management accountable with objective data – not management reporting.
Exit with an evidenced improvement story
Documented, quarter-on-quarter evidence of technical improvement. Reduce buyer friction, support valuation, and answer technical DD questions with confidence.
What you can track and improve
Board-ready metrics across the technology layer.
Every CodeDD output is designed for a portfolio manager, not a developer. Add technical performance alongside financial and commercial metrics in your quarterly board pack.
Code quality and technical debt
Remediation cost tracked in real terms – one-time cost, hours, and annual overhead. Reduce it systematically over the holding period.
Innovation rate
New capability vs. maintenance spend, measured objectively. A rising rate shows capital is fuelling growth, not the past.
Key person risk
Contributor concentration mapped across the full codebase. Track risk reduction as the team scales.
Security posture
Vulnerabilities and dependencies tracked continuously. Arrive at exit with a clean, defensible security record.
Remediation prioritisation
Highest-impact fixes surfaced first – so engineering effort goes where it improves valuation most.
Exit-ready documentation
A quarter-on-quarter improvement record that gives buyers confidence and sellers the evidence to defend valuation.
Why it works
Built for investors, not developers.
CodeDD is used by PE teams and advisors across buy-side diligence, portfolio monitoring, and sell-side preparation.
CodeDD transformed our technical due diligence process. By providing a simple way in to software due diligence, we can now focus on the real work of investing.
