For PE Firms, M&A Teams & Technical DD Consultants
Know what you're buying before the deal closes.
The codebase is a black box. The CTO says it's “solid.” You need proof. Axiom Refract produces a complete structural analysis — risk scores, SPOF identification, compliance mapping, dead code quantification — from the code itself. Evidence, not interviews.

The black box problem.
You're evaluating a target. The financials check out. The product has traction. But the codebase — the thing you're actually acquiring — is opaque. You get a self-assessment from the CTO, a sample code review from a consultant, and a gut feeling from your technical advisor.
That's not due diligence. That's trust. And trust doesn't belong in a term sheet.
Axiom Refract replaces opinions with evidence. A complete structural analysis generated from the code itself, delivered in hours, covering every file in the repository.
What you hear vs. what you need.
“The CTO says the code is solid.”
Every CTO says that. Axiom gives you evidence from the code itself — centrality metrics, SPOF counts, dead code percentages, compliance gaps. You verify the claim instead of trusting it.
“We already did a manual code review.”
Manual reviews are selective. Axiom covers 100% of files. It finds the structural risks a sample-based review misses — the file with 47 transitive dependents, the module with zero test coverage, the dependency that hasn't been updated in three years.
“The technical DD will take 4-6 weeks.”
Axiom produces a complete structural analysis in hours. Your consultants can focus their weeks on the nuanced, human-judgment questions instead of manually mapping dependencies.
What the report includes.
Full Architectural Record
Every file, every dependency, every structural relationship — mapped, scored, and documented. You get a complete view of what the codebase looks like, not what someone says it looks like.
Risk Scoring
Composite risk scores based on centrality analysis, SPOF count, dead code volume, and dependency complexity. Quantified risk you can factor into valuation models and negotiate against.
Compliance Mapping
Automated evidence-backed mapping against SOC2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, NIST, and 5 additional frameworks. Every finding includes file paths and code references. Hand it to your compliance team directly.
Dead Code Quantification
Know exactly how much of the codebase is unused. Dead files, dead functions, orphaned database tables — Axiom quantifies the technical debt the target hasn't cleaned up.
SPOF Identification
Single points of failure with blast radius calculations. If one file or one engineer represents a structural risk, you see it before the deal closes — not six months after.
Triple-Format Delivery
JSON for your technical team. DOCX reports for the deal room. Architecture diagrams for the presentation. Every stakeholder gets the format they need from a single analysis run.
Get the technical due diligence report your deal team needs.
Complete structural analysis. Evidence-backed findings. Hours, not weeks. One codebase at a time or across your entire portfolio.
