01 / Overview

What this service delivers

When the people who built an application have moved on, every deployment becomes a risk. We bring the system back to a maintainable condition: it runs locally, dependency versions are locked, smoke tests exist, secrets are removed from the repository and the path to production is documented. AI-assisted analysis speeds up the inventory, and an engineer verifies every finding before it goes into the report. You also receive an honest assessment of which parts are worth keeping, with cost ranges for each option.

02 / Deliverables

What you receive 7 items

  1. 01A containerised local development setup with a written guide to getting started
  2. 02A review of which framework and dependency versions are in use, with an upgrade path
  3. 03Smoke tests covering authentication and the five most important user journeys
  4. 04Secrets removed from the repository and placed in environment configuration
  5. 05A complete written description of the release process, with rollback steps
  6. 06A risk register rating each item for severity, effort and likely cost
  7. 07A recorded architecture walkthrough for your engineering team

03 / Fit

Who it suits, and what we need from you

Ideal for

  • Businesses that can no longer contact the developer or agency behind their system
  • Applications on framework versions that are no longer supported
  • Founders weighing up whether to keep the current system or rebuild

What we need from you

  • Full access to the repository and to production or staging credentials
  • One hour with anyone who remembers why earlier decisions were made
  • Database access, or an anonymised backup we can restore

You share these through the technical brief in your dashboard after checkout.

04 / Outcomes

What changes for your team

  • 01

    Your team can run and change the application with confidence

  • 02

    Obvious security gaps are found and closed

  • 03

    A rebuild decision grounded in evidence rather than frustration

This is a remote engineering service, so nothing is shipped physically. Work is delivered into systems you control. Read delivery & handover and refunds & cancellation for the full terms.
