Codebase audits

Inherited a stalled project?

If you inherited a half-built codebase from another vendor, we can do a paid audit up front and give you an honest verdict — salvageable, not salvageable, or somewhere in between.

Common patterns we see

Signals your last vendor left something behind.

  • Scope and timeline keep moving.
  • No one can tell you what actually ships in the next release.
  • Documentation is thin or missing.
  • The person you talk to is not the person writing the code.
  • You are not sure what is safe to build on.

If any of this sounds familiar, an audit will help.

Why audits are worth their cost

Where agency hours usually go.

An audit tells you which of those hours produced something your team can build on.

How it works

Audit, then decide.

A paid audit first. Then you decide — finish with us, finish with someone else, or do nothing.

01

Audit

Written review of what is in the repo today and what it would take to ship.

02

Decide

Finish with us, finish with someone else, or walk away — your call.

03

Document

If we finish it, you get docs, tests, and a clean handoff.

04

Roadmap

Clear next steps for whoever keeps building after us.

Process

Start to finish.

  1. 01

    Week 0 · Audit

    A paid audit of your codebase with a written verdict. If it is not a fit, you get that answer — no upsell.

  2. 02

    Week 1–N · Execute (optional)

    If we both agree to keep going, we scope the work, quote it, and ship it.

  3. 03

    Handoff

    Working system plus documentation, tests, and a next-steps roadmap so the next team can keep moving.

  4. 04

    Short warranty window

    A short warranty window on anything we touched. Exact terms are in each engagement’s contract.

Guardrails

Why this won’t be the second time you get burned.

Paid audit first

We don’t quote a finish without an audit. If it is not a fit, you get that answer — not a pitch.

Custom quote for the work

Every finish is scoped and quoted individually. Terms are in writing before work starts.

You talk to the builder

No account managers. The person writing the code is the person on the call.
