You won't buy a six-month engagement from a website — and you shouldn't. Start with a bounded, fixed-fee diagnosis by senior engineers. Everything we produce is yours to keep.
What state the system is really in — code quality, architecture, infrastructure, delivery process.
What can hurt you, how badly, and how soon — ranked by impact and likelihood, in business language.
The pragmatic order of modernization or rescue steps — quick wins first, no big-bang rewrite fantasies.
A concrete offer to execute the roadmap. Yours to keep, even if you never hire us.
Larger or multi-system estates: custom quote after a 30-min call.
If we conclude we can't help, you don't pay.
NDA, repo access, docs, and the right people identified. First look at the code the same day.
Codebase, architecture, infrastructure and delivery process. Short interviews with your team.
Findings ranked by risk and effort. Draft roadmap challenged internally by a second senior.
Written report walked through together: risk map, roadmap, and a fixed-scope proposal with budget.
Yes — before we look at anything. We can sign yours or provide our standard mutual NDA on day zero.
Read-only access to the repositories, whatever documentation exists (even outdated), and 2–3 short interviews with the people who know the system. No production access is required.
Yes. The assessment is designed to run fully remote. For DACH clients we can arrange an on-site readout of the results if you prefer.
That's usually why we're called. We've assessed systems held together by cron jobs and prayer — the report focuses on a pragmatic order of fixes, not on blaming whoever wrote it.
You keep everything: the review, the risk map, the roadmap, and a fixed-scope proposal with budget. Hire us to execute it, hand it to another vendor, or run it with your own team — it's yours either way.
Senior engineers only, led by a CTO-level reviewer. No juniors, no analysts reading from a checklist.
We reply within 1 business day.
