Recovering From a Bad Build
A year of invoices. Nothing shipped. Here's how this ends.
In one week, the Rescue Blueprint tells you exactly what you have, what's salvageable, and the fixed price to finish it — from an engineer who has taken over builds like yours and shipped them.
You already know something's wrong. You just can't prove it.
The demos always looked almost done. The invoices kept coming. Now you have a repository you can't read, a developer who's slower to reply every month, and a quiet fear that's worse than the money: you can't tell whether you're six weeks from launch or six months past saving.
And the next agency? They'll say all the right things, quote a rebuild, and ask you to trust them the same way you trusted the last one. Nobody will just tell you what you're actually holding. That's the service. Not a pitch — a verdict.
One week. Three answers.
What do you have?
A full audit of the codebase, database, and infrastructure — in plain language. What works, what's broken, what was never built.
Keep it or rebuild it?
The honest verdict, with reasoning you can check. About a third of audits end in "keep most of it" — a rebuild I don't get paid for is a recommendation you can trust.
What does finishing cost?
A written spec of the system you actually need and a fixed price to get there. Take it to me, or take it to anyone.
The last rescue.
A marketplace founder came to us after twelve months and a full budget spent on a build that never reached her users. The audit verdict: rebuild, module by module. Today the platform is live — hoteliers hold accounts, market their properties, and pay to be there — and she watches it grow in a demo every Friday.
What burned founders ask.
How do I know you're not just quoting a rebuild to win a rebuild?
Because the Blueprint is the product, not the pitch. You pay $1,000 for the verdict, you own it, and you can hire anyone with it. About a third of audits end in "keep most of it."
The last developer also promised demos.
Mine are weekly, live, on the real system in production — and if a Friday comes with nothing to show, that week is free. Put it in the contract.
Can you work with what exists without the old developer's help?
Yes. Code, database, and deployment access are enough; recovering undocumented systems is half the craft. If access itself is the problem, that's the first thing we solve.
One week. One price. A verdict you can take anywhere.
