An honest read on the system you already have
Two weeks, fixed price. We read the code, instrument what's unknown, talk to your engineers, and hand you a written report: what's actually risky, what's merely ugly, what it costs, and what to do first. Useful even if you never work with us again.
- 01You're inheriting a codebase and need to know what you're buying.
- 02Something is wrong — slow pages, surprise bills, scary deploys — and nobody can isolate it.
- 03An investor or enterprise customer wants technical due diligence.
Code & architecture review
Structure, coupling, test coverage, dependency health, and the specific places where the next feature will hurt.
Security & data flow
Where personal data enters, where it's stored, who can read it, what leaves the network, and which credentials are older than they should be.
Cost & performance
Where the money and the milliseconds go, with measurements rather than opinions.
Team & process
Deploy frequency, on-call load, review practice and bus factor — the human half of why systems rot.
- A written report, typically 20–40 pages, in plain language
- Findings ranked by risk and by cost of delay
- A 90-day plan your own team can execute
- A walkthrough call with your engineers and your management
How much access do you need?
Read access to the repository, observability, and the infrastructure console, plus a few hours of your engineers' time. We sign an NDA before any of it.
What if the report says everything is fine?
Then that's the report, and it's worth having in writing. It has happened — more often we find two or three genuine risks and a lot of cost.
Do you help fix what you find?
If you want us to. Roughly two-thirds of our audits continue as implementation work or fractional CTO support; the rest are executed by the client's own team.
Is this useful for technical due diligence?
Yes — the same audit works for buy-side diligence, and we write the summary section for a non-technical reader.
