01 Overview

A rewrite proposal, a first engineering hire or an acquisition all deserve a clear picture of the code underneath. An engineer spends half a day in your repository approaching it as a new joiner would: getting it running locally, looking for tests, untangling dependencies and reading what the commit history reveals about working habits. The result is a brief, candid report with a maintainability rating, the three risks that matter most, and a rough view of the effort needed to fix them.

02 Deliverables

6 items

What you receive at handover

  1. D01 Written report of 3 to 4 pages, without padding
  2. D02 A maintainability rating, with the reasons for it
  3. D03 Top 3 technical risks, each with its likely consequence and rough remediation effort
  4. D04 Observations on test coverage and how current the dependencies are
  5. D05 Notes on documentation, local setup and how hard onboarding would be
  6. D06 Comments on team practice as seen in the commit and review history

03 Outcomes

What should be true once it ships

  • An independent view of the code before money is committed to a decision
  • Arguments about a rewrite rest on evidence rather than on who argues loudest
  • A concise document suitable for a board or an investor

04 Process

How the 4 stages run

  1. Access You grant read access to the repository
  2. Read An engineer works through the code, its history and configuration
  3. Assess Findings are judged by how a new joiner would experience the codebase
  4. Report The report is sent by email, with one round of questions answered

05 Fit & inputs

A good fit for

  • Investors or buyers wanting a quick technical read before due diligence
  • Founders preparing to bring their first engineers in-house
  • Managers being told that everything needs to be rewritten

What we need from you

  • Read access to the main repository, including its history
  • One sentence on what the application does and its approximate user count
  • Any particular concern you want us to look at

These inputs are collected through the technical brief in your dashboard after payment. The duration is counted from when they arrive.

Questions about this engagement

No. We will flag anything alarming we happen to notice, but security testing is covered by the Web Application VAPT engagement.

Around 100,000 lines can be covered meaningfully. Beyond that we sample, and the report says so.

The report arrives by email, and one round of follow-up questions is answered as part of the fee.

This is technology work delivered digitally — nothing is shipped. Work is delivered into systems you control within the duration stated above, and the delivery and refund policies set out what happens if a date is missed.
