Due diligence is less about code and more about robustness, licensing and operating costs.

Common questions are what would happen if the data storage failed/datacenter went dark and do you have an up do date list of all libraries used, yes including copypasted stuff out of stack overflow.

Due diligence != code audit. Sure if you get in that level detail for the td then it's a waste of time, but otherwise knowing that the tech team is not sitting on a landmine it's kinda important
