Our Process
Working with an outside engineer should feel predictable. Here’s exactly how an engagement runs.
1. A real conversation
You tell us what’s going on — the system, the symptoms, what’s at stake. No sales script and no discovery fee. We’ll tell you honestly whether this is something we can help with, and if it isn’t, we’ll say so.
2. The Assessment
For most legacy work, we start with a fixed-price Legacy Code Assessment: two weeks, and you get a full picture of what modernizing your system would actually take — roadmap, costs, risks, and a recommendation. It’s a small, bounded commitment that gives you a real answer before anyone talks about a bigger project.
3. A plan you can actually decide on
You get the findings in writing and we walk through them together. Phases, costs, and trade-offs, in plain language. If the right answer is “do nothing for now,” we’ll tell you that too.
4. The work
If you move forward, the same engineer who scoped the project builds it. No handoffs, no rotating contractors, no offshore team you never meet. Work is delivered in phases so you see progress and can adjust — not one long silence followed by a big reveal.
5. After launch
Software isn’t finished when it ships. We stay available for updates, fixes, and the questions that come up once real users are on it — with someone who already knows your codebase, not a support queue.
One point of contact, start to finish. The person who scopes your project is the person who builds it and stands behind it.
