Starter · After it’s built
Code Audit: a keep-or-rebuild verdict on your code
It works, mostly. It’s slow, or it breaks, or you don’t trust where it came from.
We tell you whether you’re building on a foundation or a pile, and what it takes to make it right. Two to three weeks.

Is this the right Starter for you?
Check any that fit. If two are true, you’re in the right place, and your answers come with you to the form below.
What’s true now
You’ve got software you didn’t write, or don’t trust anymore. It’s slow, or it breaks, or data goes missing, and you can’t tell whether you’re building on a foundation or a pile.
What’s true after
You stop bracing for the next thing to break, and you can plan a year out without guessing.
Setting a corner right starts with an honest look at the corner.
Where we start from
We lean toward keeping what works. We’ve watched engineers condemn good code just because they didn’t write it. We’ll tell you straight when yours is worth keeping, and straight when it isn’t.
Your timeline, start to finish
- 01We read the code and the architecture.
- 02We profile performance where it hurts.
- 03We rank what’s wrong by cost to fix.
- 04We give the verdict.

How long does it take?
Two to three weeks.
Will you just tell me to rebuild it?
We lean toward keeping what works. We have watched engineers condemn good code just because they didn’t write it. You get a keep-or-rebuild verdict with the reasoning behind it: straight when yours is worth keeping, and straight when it isn’t.
What do I actually walk away with?
A code-health read, a performance profile, a prioritized issue list with cost-to-fix, and the reasoning behind the verdict, written so you can hand it to anyone.

Most Code Audits lead here
Custom BuildWe build it with you.
From $20,000
Rebuild: the read becomes the scope, so a Custom Build starts from what we already found rather than a second discovery. Nothing you learned is wasted.
