Diagnostic Sprint · 2 weeks · From $5,000

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.
Technical 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
Before you sign with anyone, including us, get a second opinion.
The 14 days.
Days 1 to 2: kickoff and access
90-min kickoff call. Read access to repo, infrastructure, and monitoring. We sign your NDA.
Days 3 to 9: audit
Architect plus senior engineer working through codebase, infra, deployment, monitoring, and team interviews.
Days 10 to 12: synthesis
Findings ranked, recommendations written, roadmap drafted.
Days 13 to 14: report and 1h debrief
Written report delivered. 1-hour live walkthrough with your team.
A range, scoped before kickoff.
$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.
