- A keep, fix or rebuild recommendation with the cost of each
What is in the review
State, risk, cost, recommendation.
- Architecture and code quality
- How it is built, how consistent it is, and how hard it will be for a new engineer to work in.
- Dependencies and security
- Outdated packages, known vulnerabilities, secrets in the wrong places, and what is one update away from breaking.
- Infrastructure and running cost
- Where it runs, what it costs per month, what happens when it fails, and whether backups actually restore.
- Tests and delivery
- What is tested, how changes reach production, and how long a fix takes from commit to live.
- Keep, fix or rebuild
- The recommendation with a cost against each option, so the decision is a business one.
How the week runs
Read, run, test, report.
Every quick start runs on the same rule: a written scope and a fixed cost before day one, a named lead, and a report you own whether or not you continue with us.
Day 1: access and orientation
Repositories, hosting and documentation collected, the system run locally.
Days 2 and 3: the review
Code, dependencies, security and infrastructure read and scored.
Day 4: risks and costs
Risks ranked, the cost to fix each estimated, the carry cost calculated.
Day 5: the recommendation
Keep, fix or rebuild, walked through on a call with the numbers.
