When this service fits
The original developer has left, releases keep breaking, documentation is missing, or nobody can confidently estimate what remains. We begin by making the current state visible—not by promising an immediate rewrite.
What we review
- Repository structure, build and deployment path
- Authentication, permissions and sensitive data handling
- Database shape, migrations and high-risk queries
- External APIs, payment callbacks and scheduled jobs
- Test coverage, logs, monitoring and rollback options
First delivery
You receive a concise technical brief, a recovery backlog and one bounded implementation milestone. The milestone is selected to reduce the largest immediate business risk while revealing enough evidence to estimate the next phase.
What we will not do
We will not quote a large fixed-price rescue before reviewing the code. We will not recommend a rewrite simply because the existing system uses an older stack. A rewrite is proposed only when the evidence shows that continued repair is less safe or more expensive.
