Company Performance Metrics
- Chris Constantin: Founder & CEO
Post-PMF SaaS companies hit a point where the platform that got them to product-market fit starts working against them. Aligned embeds inside those businesses to diagnose and remediate the systemic technical problems that erode profitability and suppress valuation. We treat the platform as a financial asset: one that should generate returns, carry
manageable operating costs, and hold its value under scrutiny.
Think of it as structural renovation on an occupied building. The work is not demolition. It is targeted structural upgrades while the business keeps running, tenants stay in place, and rent keeps getting collected.
We work with CEOs, CFOs, COOs, CTOs, and PE operating partners who need a clear picture of what's actually happening inside the platform and the hands-on execution to fix what has fallen behind. We are reinforcements for the technology team: the specialized capacity to finally get the structural work done.
The CTOs we work with already know what's broken. What they don't have is the bandwidth, the bench, or the air cover to get at it. We diagnose systems, not people. Every finding is framed as a structural condition, the kind any capable team produces under real constraints.
A software platform should make the business more profitable over time. Too often it quietly does the opposite. Margins shrink. Cloud costs climb. Engineering works harder and delivers less.
We execute alongside your engineering team: de-risking the platform, aligning the cost structure, and expanding margins. Your team owns everything we touch. Then we exit, and they carry it forward. No long-term dependency.
If your platform is underperforming or you're heading into a transaction and don't know what a diligence team will find, let's talk. If you need more hands on keyboards, there are better options. Call us when the problem is hiding or systemic.
Services:
Exit Readiness & Diligence Preparation: We surface what compresses multiples and remediate it before a buyer's team does. We execute the work, not just the assessment.
Cost Structure Alignment: We diagnose where unit economics drifted at scale and correct them across infrastructure costs and operational overhead.
Platform De-risking: Phased remediation sequenced to keep the business running while the structural work happens underneath it. Your team owns everything we touch when we leave.
Security Exposure Remediation: We diagnose and remediate the vulnerabilities that create regulatory liability, increase breach risk, and erode customer trust.
Platform Foundation Upgrades: We upgrade outdated dependencies and aging components that slow delivery, inflate costs, and compound the longer they stay in place.
Platform Knowledge Recovery: We reverse engineer the platform's behavior, recover critical knowledge buried in legacy systems, and give the organization a clear picture of what it owns and how it runs.
Platform Commercialization: We assess the gap between an internal-use platform and commercial-grade, then remediate it across reliability, security posture, and operational maturity.
Systemic Risk Diagnostics: We diagnose the full delivery operation to surface the fragility and structural blind spots eroding margins and valuation.
