You inherited software nobody owns.
In 30 days, we take custody, document it, and tell you exactly where you stand.
Somebody built it. Then they left.
Maybe a contractor built it and moved on. Maybe someone internal built it and took the knowledge with them. Maybe it was assembled quickly with AI tools and worked fine until it didn't.
Either way, it's running part of your business and nobody can safely change it.
The first 30 days.
We take custody.
We map what the system does, what it connects to, what data it holds, and where the risk is.
We make it safe to change.
We stand up proper environments so changes can be tested before they touch your live data. Right now, there’s a good chance every change goes straight to production.
We put it under your ownership.
Code in your repositories. Infrastructure in your accounts. Access you control. Documented as we go.
We tell you the truth about it.
You get a written assessment: what’s stable, what’s fragile, what will fail and roughly when, and what each fix costs.
At the end of 30 days you own a system somebody understands, and you have a real decision to make with real numbers in front of you.
What happens after
Most clients keep us on to run it. Some take the assessment and handle it internally. Both are fine.
The assessment is yours either way.
One person can read the code. That's not the same as owning the outcome.
Understanding an inherited system means understanding what the business needed it to do, not just what it does. That's design, business analysis, infrastructure, and testing, not just development.
It's also the reason we can take responsibility for the result instead of billing you for hours spent looking.
What it costs
Technical Assessment, from $7,500. We take custody, document what the system does, map where the risk is, and give you a written assessment of what's stable, what's fragile, and what each fix costs.
If you continue with us, the first month is onboarding, priced at the standard monthly rate for whichever configuration fits. The assessment fee credits against it.
If you'd rather take the assessment and handle the work internally, that's yours to do.
One call tells us both whether this fits.
If you're running software you can't afford to have go wrong, thirty minutes is enough to know whether we're the right team for it. If we're not, we'll say so.
