← All use casesSoftware acquisition diligence

Measure the software asset and surface maintainer risk before close.

Use a Code Valuation Report to inspect RepoWorth, architecture breadth, Contributor Value, durability, and key-person concentration before acquiring a software business.

Built for strategic acquirers, private equity, and technical diligence teams.
The gap

A source archive can look complete while the operating knowledge sits with one maintainer.

Code Valuator measures the visible asset and its contribution history together. Acquirers can inspect present RepoWorth, recent value movement, verification depth, churned value, and how much durable work depends on key contributors.

What you can see

Move from assumption to evidence.

01

A versioned asset record

Freeze the evaluated commit, formula version, RepoWorth, complexity, and supporting scan evidence for diligence.

02

Maintainer and continuity risk

See concentration, contribution recency, ownership changes, and value tied to contributors who may not remain after close.

03

Post-close monitoring

Track value movement, refactors, removals, retained value, and delivery continuity through integration.

Actual product interface

Move from a headline number to a versioned diligence record.

Review RepoWorth movement, maintainer concentration, coverage, and report evidence after the repository owner grants read-only access.

How it works

Permissioned where it should be. Auditable where it matters.

Each decision starts from a bounded repository scope, an exact commit, and versioned rules. Private evidence stays controlled by its authorized owner.

  1. 01

    Submit the opportunity

    Provide the company, repository scope, deal stage, and the report you need.

  2. 02

    Request controlled access

    The creator approves the repositories and information included in the diligence workspace.

  3. 03

    Review and monitor

    Compare the frozen diligence baseline with integration and delivery changes after close.

Two bounded report products

Choose a current reading or a deeper assessment.

Both reports identify the repository scope, commit, scan cutoff, measured evidence, and a section-by-section guide for interpreting the findings.

Discovery with boundaries

See the signal first. Ask before you see the report.

An organization admin must enable discovery. Until they grant access, you see only the repository name, description, and current overall RepoWorth.

01Payment details at requestStripe securely saves the requester's card. There is no charge yet.02Administrator approvalThe repository owner reviews the fixed package and accepts or declines it as a whole.03Read-only report accessApproval activates the selected Snapshot, Assessment, or Monitoring purchase. No source code or repository credentials are exposed.
Creator-controlled evidence

Request evidence directly from the creator or seller.

An organization admin must enable discovery before the repository appears. Acquirers add payment details when requesting a detailed report, but are charged only if the administrator grants read-only access. The report never includes source code.

Questions

Use the number with the right context.

Does the report value the entire acquisition?

No. It measures code development value and technical evidence. Commercial value, liabilities, intellectual property rights, revenue quality, and strategic fit remain separate parts of diligence.

What is maintainer risk?

It is the concentration of durable development value, review authority, and recent accepted work among a small number of people, combined with recency and continuity signals.

Can the seller control private details?

Yes. Private repository access and report visibility remain controlled by the authorized owner throughout the diligence process.

Does CodeValuation.com recommend whether to acquire a company?

No. It provides reproducible codebase evidence and a modeled development valuation. The acquirer remains responsible for the investment, legal, commercial, and transaction decision.
