[Verse 1] When companies merge and deals are brewing Someone needs to peek beneath the hood Check the servers, scan the databases Make sure the tech foundation's good Architecture matters when you're buying Legacy systems might be chains Don't get fooled by shiny interfaces Examine what's beneath the gains [Chorus] Due diligence, technical sight S-C-A-L-E: can systems handle growth tonight? S-E-C-U-R-E: are passwords locked up tight? M-A-I-N-T-A-I-N: will code survive the fight? Due diligence, get it right [Verse 2] Documentation tells the story Are the manuals up to date? If developers jumped ship tomorrow Could new teams pick up the weight? Check dependencies and licensing Third-party tools might cost you more Count the technical debt accumulated Hidden burdens at the core [Chorus] Due diligence, technical sight S-C-A-L-E: can systems handle growth tonight? S-E-C-U-R-E: are passwords locked up tight? M-A-I-N-T-A-I-N: will code survive the fight? Due diligence, get it right [Bridge] Infrastructure costs are climbing Cloud bills tell you what you need Performance metrics under pressure Will it crack at lightning speed? Team retention and their skillsets Knowledge walks out of the door Integration compatibility What surprises lie in store?

S-E-C-U-R-E: are passwords locked up tight? M-A-I-N-T-A-I-N: will code survive the fight? Due diligence, get it right [Outro] Before you sign that acquisition Dig deeper than the surface gleam Technology due diligence Protects your merger dream
