Finish it and get it launched.
Software project rescue for founders whose product is close to done and stuck there. We find out what works, what is missing and what stands between you and launch. You get that in writing first, then decide what to do next.
How it works
Start small. Go further only if it makes sense.
You never have to decide everything at once. It starts with the Diagnostic, and each step after it is a separate, fixed-price decision you make with the last step's findings in hand.
The Diagnostic
For $999, usually back in 24 to 48 hours, we go through the code, the product and where the business stands. We test what exists the way a customer would use it. If you go on to build with us, the $999 comes off that work.
You walk away with
A written answer you keep either way: finish it, rebuild part of it, or stop, with the reasons and a fixed quote for what comes next.
Finish it with you
When what you built is worth keeping, we keep it. We fix the things that block a launch, in your repo, alongside you or your developer, and add checks so a fix stays fixed.
You walk away with
The launch blockers closed, a working release you can test, and a clear list of who owns what next.
We take it over
When you would sooner hand it over, we finish the agreed product in accounts you own. If part of it has to be replaced, the plan covers moving your data and switching over without losing customers.
You walk away with
A launched release in your accounts, with instructions for running it.
What the Diagnostic returns
Before access, we agree the systems, questions, price, exclusions and delivery date in writing. Grant named, limited access through accounts you control. Do not send production secrets through the contact form.
The written assessment records what we inspected, what remains unknown, risks and recommended priorities. Assessment does not include implementing every repair. You decide whether to fund the separately scoped next phase.
Sound familiar?
Which of these are you seeing?
Tick the ones that apply and bring the list to the call. A count does not tell you the cause. It tells us where to look first.
What the phases cover
Progress you can see against an agreed plan.
First phase
Diagnose
We agree what the Diagnostic covers and leaves out, the access we need and the delivery date. Then we read the code and test the product, and send you a written verdict with a scoped next step.
Next phase
Stabilize
We get the access you authorize, reproduce the build and fix the release blockers we agreed on. You review the working result against the stabilization plan.
After stabilization
Ship
We work through the agreed launch or relaunch scope. You review it on a schedule we set together, with checks for what counts as done and a named owner for each part. After release, we use the live product to decide what happens next.
The timing and scope depend on the current product, access and operating constraints. Agree them after the assessment rather than treating these phases as a universal schedule.
How we work with you
The terms are simple, and they are in writing.
You own everything
Your repo, your hosting, your keys, from the first day. You can leave at any point and take all of it.
No judgment about how it was built
Built with AI, by a freelancer, or by a team that has since left: how it got here does not matter to us. We look at what exists.
Priced before we start
Every piece of work is scoped and priced in writing before it starts. The price changes only if you change the scope.
A straight answer, even when it is "stop"
The Diagnostic can say stop, or build less. You keep the findings and decide whether more work makes sense.
Before you book
Questions founders ask, answered plainly.
No. We can assess it as long as you can give us the source code and access to the accounts it runs on. The review records what works, what we could not check and what access is missing. We do not start from the idea that whoever built it got it wrong.
No. The Diagnostic is read-only, so it can run while they keep working, within the access you give us. What it finds may point to finishing with them, bringing in help for one part, replacing the team, or stopping.
It depends on how much work is left, what it would cost and whether the business case still holds. Often some of the code or design is worth keeping. Sometimes the right answer is a smaller next step, or none, and the report will say why.
Yes. We test an AI-built app the same way as any other: can a customer sign up, pay and get what they came for, and is their data safe. A screen that looks finished does not mean the whole product is ready. The report says which parts to keep and which need repair.
The first call is free. The Diagnostic has a fixed price and a delivery date agreed before it starts. Any build after that gets its own written scope and quote, so you can compare repair with replacement before you commit.
Not ready for a call? Read the 12 signs your dev team is failing you or take the 2-minute salvageability quiz to prepare your questions. The quiz does not inspect the implementation or provide a technical verdict.
What clients said while we were building.
These are from project calls and emails, used with each person's permission.
“A three-person team doesn't normally ship a working product this fast.”
“It looks really good. I'm actually very impressed with what you came up with.”
“That looks so much better. Thank you. It's coming together. I'm super excited.”
“I appreciate you taking it over ... I like where it's going better.”
Tell us where it's stuck. We'll tell you what we'd do.
The consultation is free and takes 30 minutes. If a Diagnostic makes sense, it is $999, usually back in 24 to 48 hours, and it comes off your build if you go ahead.
