How we work —

De-risked at every step. You always know what's next.

Hiring anyone to touch a broken project is a leap of faith. We remove as much of the risk as we can: a free first read, fixed scope, transparent pricing, and a promise that you keep every line of code no matter what you decide.

The engagement ladder —

Four steps, each one reversible.

You can step off after any stage. Nothing commits you to the next until you've seen the value of the last.

1
Free 15-minute triage call
Same week · free
Tell us what's broken. We ask the sharp questions, give an honest first read on whether it's a rescue, a refactor or a rebuild, and agree on next steps. No sales theatre.
- Honest first assessment
- Rescue / refactor / rebuild verdict
- Clear next step
You leave knowing where you stand — even if you never hire us.
2
Rescue Assessment
About 5 business days
We get read access and go deep: architecture, security, technical-debt map, test gaps, CI/CD and deployment. You get a scored report with a prioritized fix roadmap and a go/no-go verdict.
- Scored codebase report
- Prioritized remediation roadmap
- Fixed quote for the fix
- Go / no-go recommendation
A clear, evidence-based plan — and a fixed price for the work.
3
Stabilization Sprint
2–4 weeks · fixed scope
We stabilize the highest-risk parts first: stop the bleeding, fix what's broken, harden security, and get you to a state you can ship and build on. Fixed scope, daily visibility.
- The critical fixes, shipped
- Security & deployment hardening
- Documentation of what we changed
- Daily progress you can see
A working, deployable product you understand and control.
4
Delivery & retainer
Ongoing · month to month
Finish the roadmap and, when you're ready, keep a senior team on tap to build the next things — features, mobile, scale. Month to month, cancel anytime. You keep all code and access, always.
- Roadmap delivered
- Optional ongoing engineering team
- You own all code and infrastructure
From rescued to shipping — with a team that already knows your code.

Pricing, honestly —

No public price list — but no games either.

A broken project can't be priced from a menu. What we can promise is how the money works: free to start, scoped before it's priced, and fixed before we begin.

Free to start: The 15-minute triage call and an initial quote cost you nothing.
Scoped before priced: We define exactly what's included before we put a number on it.
Fixed over hourly: Fixed-scope engagements wherever possible — you know the cost up front.
Credited forward: A paid assessment is credited toward the fix if you proceed with us.

Our guarantees —

The promises we'll put in writing.

You keep everything

All code, repositories and infrastructure access stay yours at every step. No lock-in, no hostage-taking.

NDA before anything

We'll sign a mutual NDA before you share a single credential or line of code.

Fixed scope, fixed price

We quote a fixed price against a defined scope. No open-ended hourly meter, no surprise invoices.

IP is unambiguously yours

Every engagement includes a present-tense IP assignment — what we build is legally yours on payment.

Radical visibility

Daily progress you can see and a direct line to the engineers doing the work. No account-manager fog.

Honest verdicts

If it's cheaper to rebuild than rescue, we'll say so — even when it means less work for us.

Questions —

More on how it works.

Because honest pricing depends on what's actually broken, and we won't pretend otherwise. Every rescue is different. What we do promise is a free first read, a fixed scope, and a fixed price before any work begins — so you're never surprised.

You tell us what's wrong, we ask the sharp questions, and you get an honest first read — rescue, refactor or rebuild — plus a clear next step. No obligation, no hard sell.

The Rescue Assessment is a short, fixed-price piece of work that produces a scored report and a fixed quote for the fix. If you proceed with us, we credit the assessment fee toward the engagement.

Most clients do. We roll straight into a month-to-month retainer with the same engineers — no ramp-up, cancel anytime, and you keep owning everything.
