One named CTO reads the code, who can change it, how customer data is handled, how releases ship, and which vendor and license obligations travel with the company. You get a plain list of risks and the engineering time to fix each one.
"The data room has an architecture diagram. I need someone who has opened the repository."
Partner, growth equity fund"Two people can explain the billing service. One of them is a contractor."
Operating partner, private equity"Security is a paragraph in the deck. I need to know who can open customer data."
Director, corporate development"I want to raise this quarter. I would rather find the license issue before they do."
Founder, raising a roundCTO 2.0 puts one named person on that read. You get the risks in writing, and the engineering time each fix takes.
The review ends when the readout is in your hands. A standing CTO seat is a separate conversation.
NDA first, then read-only access to the repository, the cloud, the vendor list, and the data room.
We talk with the people who ship the product, so the readout names who can change the system.
You get one document. Each risk says what we saw, why it matters for this decision, and the engineering time to fix it.
FiscalNote helps organizations track legislation, regulation, and policy. From January 2021 through March 2022, Maxiom staffed five to six full-stack engineers and an engineering manager on a rewrite of large portions of the flagship product. The work started in Ruby on Rails and expanded to PHP, WordPress, and Python. About 20 to 25 other engineers were committing to the same codebase, on four to five teams that sometimes changed the same parts of the product. Releases went to production often, behind feature flags, in a DevOps-enabled codebase. A later request was WordPress together with React.js, and Maxiom placed an engineer for that skill set. This page is a written read before a deal or a raise. The FiscalNote work was staff augmentation on a rewrite, inside the process FiscalNote already used.
When a review needs more hands, Maxiom engineers in Ashburn, VA do the work under your CTO's direction. Same standards, same owner.
Meet MaxiomNo. You get a written list of risks and the engineering time to fix each one.
No. We are not auditors. We do not certify HIPAA, SOC 2, or any other standard. The readout says what we saw in the code, the access, the releases, and the licenses, and what we could not see.
No. We read the repository and the vendor list you share, and we write down the license and vendor obligations we can see there. Your counsel handles the contracts.
A healthcare CTO stays on the product and owns PHI, BAAs, and EHR calls. HIPAA readiness is a gap list before a questionnaire. Oversight stays with an outsourced team and sets release gates. Launch readiness is a checklist before the first users. This review is a one-time read before a deal, an acquisition, a board discussion, or a raise, and it ends with the written risks and the engineering time to fix them.
The readout, including the risks you choose to leave open until after the decision. It is yours whether or not you keep us.
Book a time. It is a 30-minute call about the company, the decision in front of you, and when you need the readout. You get a clear yes or no on fit.
The company, the deal or the raise, and when you need the readout. You leave with a clear yes or no.
