Technology Health Check
A structured, confidential assessment of a portfolio company's technology platform. Designed to give PE funds, boards, and management teams an accurate, actionable picture of technical maturity and risk.
What Is a Health Check?
A Proof Edge Technology Health Check is a point-in-time analysis of a company's technology landscape. It provides a comprehensive view across platform architecture, security, engineering practices, data capability, and product management.
The engagement is typically commissioned by a PE fund or portfolio company board to identify improvement opportunities and track technology risk over a defined horizon (typically 6–12 months), or ahead of a potential transaction.
The output is a clear, confidential report: written for executives, not just engineers. Findings are rated by risk, prioritized by impact, and accompanied by actionable recommendations.
