Codebase Health Check

Find out what’s really in your codebase, in one week.

A fixed-fee review of your product’s code and infrastructure. It ends in a written plan of what to fix first, and how long each fix will take.

Who it’s for

  • Your product was built fast, maybe with AI tools, and now it has real users.
  • You’re about to raise money, launch, or sign a big customer, and want no surprises.
  • You’ve inherited a codebase and don’t know what’s in it.
  • Every change seems to break something else, and you can’t tell why.

What we look at

  • SecurityCan someone get in, take data or abuse a feature?
  • ReliabilityWhat happens when something fails? Can you recover?
  • TestsCan you change the code without fear?
  • ScalabilityWhat breaks first as usage grows?
  • ArchitectureIs the structure helping or slowing you down?

What you get

  • A written report. Each finding says where it is, why it matters, how to fix it, and the effort involved. Each is marked Fix now, Fix this month or Healthy.
  • The things to fix first. If you do nothing else, do these.
  • A readout call to walk through the findings and answer questions.
  • Your call on what’s next. Fix it yourselves with the plan, or have us do it.

How the week runs

  • Day 1A kickoff call and access set up.
  • Days 2 to 4The review.
  • Day 5The report and the readout call.

What we need from you

  • Read-only access to the code.
  • A look at how it runs in production: read-only access, or a walkthrough.
  • An hour with whoever knows the system best.

Access is read-only throughout, and removed when we’re done. We’re happy to sign an NDA first.

The fee

A fixed fee, quoted on the first call. If you book follow-up work with us within 30 days, the fee is credited in full against it.
