Inherited a half-finished platform? Lost the original developer? Watching error rates climb and feature velocity stall? We audit, stabilise, and refactor — so you can keep what's worth keeping and scale what's worth scaling.
If three or more of these sound familiar, the project doesn't need a new feature. It needs a rescue.
Most rescues follow the same arc. We don't promise miracles in week one — we promise honest assessment and stable progress.
One-week deep read of the codebase. Architecture review, security scan, dependency audit, test coverage report, infrastructure walkthrough. You get a written diagnosis with prioritised risks.
Patch the bleeding first: critical security holes, production crashes, data integrity issues. We don't refactor at this stage — we stop the system from getting worse.
Once stable, we refactor the worst-offending modules incrementally. Add tests as we go. Replace deprecated dependencies. Document architecture decisions. The codebase becomes one a new developer could pick up.
You receive: documented codebase, deployment runbooks, architecture diagrams, credentials handover, full IP transfer. Optional: ongoing retainer for support and continued evolution.
The honest answer: only ~10% of rescue audits conclude "rebuild from scratch." Most projects have a workable core and a fixable surface — the trick is knowing the difference before you spend money on the wrong path.
A one-week forensic code audit costs a fraction of a rebuild. You walk away with a written diagnosis and a fact-based decision instead of a guess.
