Software Due Diligence

Hi Monkeys, I have an upcoming case study with a tech fund focusing on software.

For those with experience looking at software companies - what are typically the most important diligence considerations if you would / would not invest in the company? 

I appreciate customer cohorts (churn, retention etc.) are one important factor, what else do you normally consider? 

Thanks
