# What is Technical Diligence?

Checking whether a startup's technology works as claimed and can scale. For an AI company, that means asking what is built in-house, which model it runs on, how it is evaluated and what each task costs.

## In real work

During technical diligence, Arjun asked the contract-review startup for its eval results and its inference cost per document, then compared both with the demo.
