Project rescue

Inherited a codebase nobody will answer for?

Share what works, what is unfinished, and the code or documentation you have access to. We can start with a free initial triage and identify the next steps for taking over the project.

John usually replies within one business day. The initial triage is free.

Sound familiar?

Problems we can review

They stopped replying

Emails go unanswered. The Slack channel went quiet. The invoice cleared and the developer vanished.

It's half-built

Eighty percent done, forever. The last 20% never ships, and every new quote to finish it keeps climbing.

You can't get the code

It's on someone else's server, under someone else's account, and nobody will hand you the keys.

Nobody can read it

No documentation, no comments, no handoff. The next developer takes one look and says 'rebuild from scratch.'

The free code triage

A second opinion before you spend a thing

The initial review identifies likely issues and what remains unknown. If a deeper code review is needed, we agree on its scope and cost first.

1

You send us what you have

A repo link, a login, a zip file, or just a description. Whatever exists. No tidying up required.

2

Review the current state

John reviews the available code, setup instructions, and reported issues to identify what needs further investigation.

3

Receive a recommendation

Get a summary of the findings, remaining unknowns, and recommended next steps. Any deeper investigation or implementation is scoped separately.

We read the actual code. Findings refer to the code and documentation available for review.

You own everything. If we take it on, the code is yours, clean and documented.

Plan for maintenance. Agree on who handles updates, monitoring, and fixes after the project is handed over.

Repair or rebuild?

The recommendation depends on the existing code, missing features, and cost of maintaining it. We explain the tradeoffs and any investigation needed before proposing a build.
