Diagnostic Sprint · 2 weeks · From $5,000

The blunt audit your platform never gets from inside the building.

Two weeks. A senior architect plus a senior engineer. One report telling you what's actually broken, what to fix first, and how much it costs to make it work.

Slot booked in 2 business days. Final report in 14 days

What's in the report.

Written, specific, defensible. The kind you can hand to a board or to an investor.

Architecture map

Current-state diagram. What talks to what. Where the bottlenecks are.

Tech debt prioritization

Every piece of debt ranked by impact and cost-to-fix. With a "leave it alone" column for what is not worth touching.

Top 3 risks

Ranked by probability and blast radius. With concrete mitigation options.

Investment roadmap (3 / 6 / 12 months)

What to fix when, with effort estimates and the team shape required.

Hire vs. squad recommendation

Honest answer about whether you need to hire internally or bring a squad in.

This is for you if...

Post-MVP, pre-scale

You shipped. It's working. You don't know if it can take 10x.

Inheriting a codebase

New CTO, new tech lead. The previous people are gone. The documentation is half-true.

Pre-fundraise

Investors will ask technical due diligence questions. You want defensible answers.

Considering a 6-month commitment

$5K$15K

Typically between $5,000 and $15,000. The fee is fixed in writing before we start, based on system size and audit depth. If we recommend bringing a squad in afterward, the sprint fee is credited toward the first month.

Two weeks. One honest answer.

Even if the answer is "you don't need us."
