What is Technical Due Diligence?

Due diligence is a process that critically reviews and analyzes the financial, management and operational conditions of a company, agency or project. This conventional due diligence process usually focuses on the financial and business aspects of a company or project and is most often applied in the evaluation of a potential investment, merger or acquisition. In the conventional due diligence process, very little effort is devoted to a critical assessment of the science and technology associated with the enterprise.

A critical assessment of the underlying science and technology is an essential first ingredient for informed decision making by those involved with science and technology-based enterprises and projects. Questions to be addressed include: Will this technology work? Is it practical and effective? Is the technology grounded in sound science? Is the process scaleable and commercializable? What are its strengths and weaknesses? Is this really a unique and proprietary technology?

Technical due diligence provides an independent, third party assessment of the underlying science and technology associated with new and emerging enterprises and projects.
