Rescue and rebuild for failed software projects.
For the project that took the money and didn't ship: a plain-language audit of what you're holding, an honest keep-or-rebuild verdict, and a staged takeover that gets something real in front of your users.
What this covers.
Codebase audit in plain language
What works, what's broken, what was never built — readable by you, not just by engineers.
The keep-or-rebuild verdict
With reasoning you can check. About a third of audits end in "keep most of it."
Staged takeover
Stabilize what's live, then rebuild module by module — no second big-bang bet.
Documentation recovery
The undocumented system gets its first real spec — yours to keep regardless of who builds next.
The Friday demo, restored
The habit the last team never had: working software, shown weekly, in production.
How every engagement runs.
The Blueprint
$1,000 · one week · fixed
Spec, architecture, and a fixed build quote — yours to take anywhere.
The build
from $3,500 · fixed scope
Live from week one. A working demo every Friday, or that week is free.
The partnership
from $1,500/mo · cancel monthly
The system grows; someone senior answers when it matters.
Sound like your situation?
Questions operators ask.
The old developer is gone and left no notes. Is that fatal?
No — it's the normal case. Code, database, and deployment access are enough; recovering undocumented systems is half the craft.
How fast can something be stabilized?
Triage happens inside the Rescue Blueprint week. If the live system is bleeding — errors, data risk — stopping the bleeding is the first slice, usually within days of the verdict.
What if only part of it is salvageable?
That's the most common verdict — keep the data model, rebuild the edges, or the reverse. The spec draws the line precisely so you pay to fix only what's actually broken.
One week. One price.
