Tech Due Diligence for a Real Estate Platform in Berlin

Before a decision, the parties involved needed an independent technical picture of the platform.

Situation

A real estate platform based in Berlin faced a decision that needed an independent technical assessment: how viable is the existing architecture, how high is the risk, and what would an expansion cost.

Task

As advisors, we were to independently assess the platform's technology and derive a target software architecture from it, a way forward rather than just a list of risks.

Implementation

  • Tech DD report

    Assessment of architecture, team, and technical risk for the decision-makers.

  • Risk picture

    Concrete classification of which risks are real and which are negligible.

  • Target software architecture

    Proposal for the architecture the platform should move toward.

  • Recommended actions

    Prioritized next steps for implementation.

Approach

The assessment followed the usual DD process: architecture, code, team, and processes were checked systematically, not by spot sampling. Results were presented directly to the decision-makers, with a clear line between what was evidenced and what remained an assessment.

A target architecture was derived directly from the findings, so the report was not just a diagnosis but a foundation for the next decision.

Result

The decision-makers had a documented, independent picture of the technical risk before their decision, and a concrete target architecture as the next step, not just an opinion.

Transferable lessons

  • DD belongs before the decision

    Its value drops the later it comes in the process.

  • A risk report alone is not enough

    Only with a target architecture does the diagnosis become a plan.

  • Separate evidence from assessment

    Decision-makers need both, but kept clearly apart.
