Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When money's on the line and investors come to call
They dig beneath the surface, examine every wall
Your startup's getting scrutinized, the magnifying glass
Technical due diligence—will your system pass?

They're checking architecture, how components connect
Code quality and testing, what did you neglect?
Can it handle growth patterns when users multiply?
Time to prove your platform's built to reach the sky

[Chorus]
A-R-C maps the blueprint, C-Q checks the craft
S-C-A means it scales up, can your system last?
Architecture, Code Quality, Scalability's the game
Technical due diligence puts your tech to shame

[Verse 2]
Architecture review starts with drawing diagrams
How data flows through pipelines, avoiding traffic jams
Microservices dancing or monolith so tight?
Database connections working left and right

Security boundaries, APIs that play nice
Load balancers spinning like a pair of dice
Documentation matters, can outsiders read?
Your technical foundation meets investor need

[Chorus]
A-R-C maps the blueprint, C-Q checks the craft
S-C-A means it scales up, can your system last?
Architecture, Code Quality, Scalability's the game
Technical due diligence puts your tech to shame

[Verse 3]
Code quality assessment dives into the guts
Testing coverage numbers, closing all the cuts
Static analysis running, catching every flaw
Code reviews and standards, following the law

Technical debt hiding in forgotten corners
Performance bottlenecks around the corners
Version control history tells a story true
How disciplined's your team and what did they pursue?

[Bridge]
Ten thousand users? Easy sailing
Million requests? Don't want it failing
Horizontal scaling, vertical too
Caching strategies pulling you through

[Chorus]
A-R-C maps the blueprint, C-Q checks the craft
S-C-A means it scales up, can your system last?
Architecture, Code Quality, Scalability's the game
Technical due diligence puts your tech to shame

[Outro]
When investors finish digging through your digital soul
Technical due diligence determines your role
Build it right from day one, or pay the price later
Your CTO knowledge makes you the creator
