SOLOMON PARTNERS provides independent technology assessment, technical due diligence, and written expert opinions to investors, boards, lenders, corporates, and government programs. Our reports are built to be relied upon — clear, quantified, and defensible under scrutiny.
A structured, independent evaluation of a technology or technology company — what it is, how mature it is, how it compares, and what it is worth.
Assessments examine architecture and engineering quality, technology readiness (TRL/MRL), intellectual-property position and freedom to operate, competitive benchmarking against the state of the art, team depth, and the credibility of the development roadmap. Where engaged for valuation, we value the technology asset itself — IP, platforms, data, and know-how — using cost, market, and income methods appropriate to deep technology.
Typical uses: investment screening, board and strategy decisions, technology acquisition or licensing, government program applications, and internal portfolio reviews.
Transaction-grade technical diligence for buyers, sellers, investors, and lenders — scoped to the decision at hand and delivered on deal timelines.
We conduct buy-side and sell-side technical DD on companies in our coverage sectors: source-of-truth review of test and flight data, silicon and system architecture review, manufacturing and supply-chain readiness, certification and regulatory pathway analysis, cybersecurity and data posture, and verification of the claims on which the valuation rests. Findings arrive as a risk register with severity, likelihood, and remediation cost — not adjectives.
We work alongside financial and legal advisers as the technical member of the diligence team, and we are equally comfortable engaged by lenders underwriting technology-heavy credit, including data-center and infrastructure financings.
Written, signed opinions on technical questions — prepared for the committees, programs, and counsel who must rely on them.
We prepare independent opinion letters and expert reports for defined reliance: technology opinions supporting investment-committee and board decisions, technical validation for government R&D grants and procurement programs, opinions supporting lending and insurance decisions, and expert reports in disputes involving technology claims, prepared in cooperation with counsel.
Every opinion states its scope, methodology, evidence, and limitations, and is signed by the responsible partner. We do not accept success-based compensation for opinions, and our conclusions are never contingent on any transaction outcome.
Describe the technology and the decision it supports. We will respond with a scope, a team, and a timeline.
