Rescue a project
Stalled, inherited or built with AI tools: we get your software working, secure and maintainable again.
A stuck project costs more every week
Users wait, investors ask questions and the code drifts further from anyone who understands it. A structured rescue replaces guesswork with a clear plan and a team that owns the outcome.

Projects we rescue
Every rescue starts with the same audit. What changes is where your project got stuck.
Stalled or abandoned projects
Your vendor disappeared or the build stopped halfway. We assess what is there, pick it up and get it to launch.
Get a rescue reviewVendor and team handover
Changing vendors or losing in-house developers? We run a structured handover so no knowledge, access or code is lost.
Get a rescue reviewInherited codebases
No documentation and the original developers are gone. We map the code, document it and make it safe to change.
Get a rescue reviewVibe-coded and AI-built apps
Built with Lovable, Bolt, Replit, Cursor or Claude Code? We make your app secure, production-ready and maintainable as it grows.

Deadlines keep slipping and costs keep rising. We reset scope, fix the delivery process and get releases moving again.

Crashes, slow pages or gaps found in a security review. We trace the root causes and fix them for good.

- 01
Rescue audit
We review the code, infrastructure, security and data, then give you a red, amber, green report with a fixed-price plan.
- 02
Stabilize
We fix what is breaking or exposing data first, and set up backups, monitoring and a safe release process.
- 03
Fix or rebuild
We repair, refactor or rebuild the parts that block you, in short sprints with a demo at the end of each.
- 04
Run and hand over
We keep the product running on a monthly plan, or hand everything to your team with documentation.
- A red, amber, green report on code, security, infrastructure and data
- A prioritized fix list and a fixed-price plan
- A stable product with backups, monitoring and a safe release process
- Code, documentation, access and infrastructure in your hands
- Start with one capabilityA fixed-scope piece of work, such as an assessment, a prototype or a proof of concept.
- Combine capabilities into one projectCapabilities from several services, delivered by one team with one plan and one point of contact.

What is a software project rescue?
A project rescue takes a troubled software product, one that is stalled, abandoned, unstable or hard to change, and returns it to a working, maintainable state. It starts with an audit of the code and infrastructure, then stabilizes the product before fixing or rebuilding the parts that block progress.
Can you take over a project from another vendor or freelancer?
Yes. We run a structured handover: we secure access to code, hosting, domains and third-party accounts, document how the system works, and confirm we can build and release it ourselves. If the previous team is unavailable, we recover what we can from your repositories and infrastructure.
Can you fix an app built with Lovable, Bolt, Replit or Cursor?
Yes. AI-built apps often work in a demo but have gaps in security, data access rules, error handling and scaling. We audit the app, close the risks first, and make the code something a team can safely maintain, whether you keep building with AI tools or not.
Do we need to rewrite the whole application?
Rarely. We keep what works, stabilize it, and rebuild only the parts that create risk or block new features. A full rewrite is recommended only when the audit shows it is cheaper and safer than repair, and we explain why in writing.
How long does a rescue audit take, and what do we get?
About 5 to 10 business days, depending on size. You get a written report rating code, security, infrastructure and data as red, amber or green, a prioritized fix list, and a fixed-price plan for the next steps.
What access do you need, and is our code safe with you?
Read-only access to your repository and hosting is enough for the audit. We sign an NDA from the first conversation, and you keep full ownership of the code and intellectual property at every stage.
What does a project rescue cost?
The audit is a fixed price agreed before we start. Fixes and ongoing support are quoted from the audit findings, so you know the cost before you commit to any work.
