Technical due diligence on technologies, suppliers and projects

KyperX provides technical due diligence where a commercial, investment or development decision depends on claims about a technology, supplier or project. The work tests whether those claims are supported by the evidence available and whether the proposed technology can perform inside the larger system in which it would operate.

Availability: Commercial today

  • An evidence position for each claim
  • Interests disclosed first
  • Technical findings only

Who It Is For

Who commissions technical due diligence

KyperX provides technical findings. The decision, and any legal, financial or investment assessment, stays with the client and its other advisers.

Investors and funders

Evaluating the technical basis of a company, technology or project before committing capital.

Acquirers and corporate development

Testing the technology behind an acquisition, licence or strategic investment.

Boards

Seeking a technical view on a program, supplier or project before approval.

Project developers

Testing supplier, equipment or process assumptions before selecting a route.

Strategic partners

Understanding a counterparty’s technical position before a collaboration.

Questions Examined

Questions addressed by a technical review

  1. How mature is the technology, and what evidence supports that maturity?
  2. Are the engineering assumptions consistent with each other and with the system they sit in?
  3. What does the technology depend on: interfaces, infrastructure, energy and resource inputs?
  4. Do the equipment choices and scale-up path hold at the intended capacity?
  5. What are the main technical risks, and how do competing approaches compare?
  6. Which commercial assumptions rest on technical inputs, and are those inputs supported?

Connecting claims to evidence

A technical claim becomes a review question: what evidence supports it, what assumptions does it rely on, and what remains unverified? The review makes those connections explicit before stating a finding.

CLAIMS AND ASSUMPTIONS EVIDENCE
  1. Claims and assumptions
  2. Evidence available for review
Claims and assumptions are connected to the evidence available for review.

How Findings Are Stated

Evidence supporting each material claim

Findings separate what the evidence supports from what it does not yet show. An open item is reported as open, with the evidence that would resolve it.

CLAIM OR ASSUMPTION EVIDENCE PROVIDED SUPPORTED SUPPORTED WITH QUALIFICATIONS OPEN — EVIDENCE NOT AVAILABLE NOT SUPPORTED BY THE EVIDENCE PROVIDED EACH FINDING NAMESITS EVIDENCE
  1. Claim or assumption
  2. Evidence provided

Each finding names its evidence

  • Supported
  • Supported with qualifications
  • Open — evidence not available
  • Not supported by the evidence provided

Evidence positions for a finding. Dashed marks an item the evidence leaves open.

Scope and Deliverables

Review scope, deliverables and exclusions

Scope is agreed against the decision, the timeline and the material the counterparty makes available.

What you provide

  • Access to the material under review: technical documents, data, models and test results.
  • Access to management or technical staff for questions.
  • The decision, its timeline and who will rely on the findings.
  • Any areas of concern already identified.

What KyperX does

  • Reviews technology maturity and development evidence.
  • Tests engineering assumptions and system dependencies.
  • Evaluates equipment choices, scalability, and energy and resource requirements.
  • Compares competing technical approaches.
  • Identifies technical risks and the technical drivers of commercial assumptions.

What you receive

  • A findings report giving each material claim an evidence position.
  • Unsupported assumptions identified.
  • Material technical dependencies, risks and their consequences.
  • Integration and scalability considerations.
  • Evidence gaps and the verification that would close them.
  • Questions to put to the counterparty.
  • A clear technical basis for the relevant decision.

What it does not cover

  • Legal, financial, tax, audit or valuation advice.
  • Investment recommendations or financial product advice.
  • Certification or registered professional engineering sign-off.
  • Verification of data, sites or equipment not made available.
  • Assurance beyond the evidence provided and the scope agreed.

Independence

Independence and related KyperX research

KyperX conducts its own research in intelligent systems and in energy and industry. Before a due diligence engagement is agreed, any interest in a related technology, market or party is disclosed, and the engagement proceeds only if both sides are satisfied.

Review coverage

Technical areas covered in a review

Technology & equipment evaluation

Options judged by how they perform in the complete system.

Energy and industrial systems

Boundaries, capacity matching, operating basis and techno-economic dependencies.

What KyperX evaluates →

Intelligent systems

Architecture from sensing and data to compute, decision and action.

A finding is only as strong as the evidence it names.

Engagement details

Claim assessment and verification priorities

The review can examine technical maturity, performance assumptions, equipment configuration, scalability, integration requirements, operating conditions and dependencies on external infrastructure or suppliers. It also distinguishes evidence from inference and identifies matters that remain unresolved.

The output is designed to help a decision-maker understand not only whether a claim appears credible, but also what would have to remain true for the opportunity to succeed.

Questions

Common questions

Who commissions technology due diligence?

Organisations whose commercial, investment, procurement or development decision depends on claims about a technology, supplier or project, and who need to know which of those claims the evidence supports before relying on them.

Do you need access to the technology provider?

The review works from the material made available. Where access is limited, affected claims are recorded as open rather than assumed, and the findings list the questions to put to the counterparty.

How does it fit with financial and legal due diligence?

It provides technical findings only. Restated performance, degradation, scale-up and integration conditions can then be used by those preparing financial models, legal review or valuation; it is not a substitute for them.

Can the review be kept confidential?

Yes. Confidentiality can be agreed before any material is exchanged, and the scope sets out what will be reviewed and who will rely on the findings.

Enquire

Discuss a due diligence requirement

Describe what is being evaluated and the decision timeline. Please do not send confidential material with an enquiry; it can be shared under a confidentiality agreement once scope is discussed.

No obligation. Scope, deliverables and fees are agreed in writing before any work begins.

What to include

  • The technology, supplier or project under evaluation
  • The decision, its timeline and who will rely on the findings
  • The material likely to be available for review
