For investors, acquirers and technical advisors
Understand the codebase before you sign, not after
Due diligence gives you days, not months. VizRepo reads the target's code and produces a factual description of what the system really does, so your experts spend their time judging it instead of mapping it.
What you learn in the first day
- What the product actually does, endpoint by endpoint, compared with what the pitch deck says.
- The business rules in the code: pricing, permissions, limits, state changes.
- Where the data lives and which parts of the system touch it.
- Every external dependency: payment providers, email, storage, AI services.
- How authentication and authorisation are enforced, and where they are not.
- How big and how tangled it is: number of endpoints, tables, services and the flows between them.
Facts, not impressions
- Each endpoint is documented by reading its handler and everything it calls.
- Every statement cites the file it comes from, and every cited file is verified to exist.
- Nothing is taken from the README or the founders' description.
- The Ask box answers follow-up questions from the verified facts, with sources.
How it fits your process
- The target grants read-only access to the repository, or runs the scan themselves and shares the result.
- A scan of a mid-size backend takes a few hours.
- Your technical advisor reviews the output and goes deep only where it matters.
- The documentation is a useful deliverable for the integration team after closing.
Confidentiality
Source code is cloned for the scan and deleted afterwards; it is never stored. For sensitive deals, VizRepo can run self-hosted inside the target's or the acquirer's own cloud, with their approved AI model, so the code never leaves their network.
Questions
- Does this replace a technical advisor?
- No. It removes the mapping work so the advisor's time goes into judgement: architecture risk, team quality, scalability.
- Does it find security vulnerabilities?
- It is not a security scanner. It documents behaviour, including how authentication is applied per endpoint, which often surfaces gaps worth a closer look.
- Which technologies are covered?
- Backends in TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, Java, C#, Go, PHP and Ruby, with their common frameworks and ORMs. Frontends and mobile apps get lighter coverage.
- Can we run it for a one-off project?
- Yes. Subscribe for a month, or buy credit packs for a large codebase. Nothing is locked in.
