# From a codebase nobody touches to one your team can work in.

You have an application that makes money and a team that is afraid of it. We review the code, write down what to keep, fix and build next, and take responsibility for it: the migration, the fixes, and the development after that. Your team gets a repository they can work in again.

Signs it is time

## Any one of these is enough.

- Deploys happen on a Friday, by one person, with their fingers crossed.
- The person who understood it has left.
- A small feature takes a quarter.
- The framework hit end of life two versions ago.
- Nobody wants to touch it.

Send us the repository. The review is free, written, and yours whether we go on or not.

What we do

## Every file gets a verdict. Then we take responsibility for it.

First a review, then a written plan. After that the migration, the fixes and the development are ours, with your team in the room.

- ### Keep  
Most of it, usually. The code that earns the money stays, gets tests around it, and is left alone until there is a reason.
- ### Fix  
The framework past end of life, the deploy that needs a person, the query that falls over on a busy day. In order of risk, with a date on each.
- ### Build next  
The features that waited while everyone was afraid. Once the first two columns are done, this is what we build.

Proof

## From a complex prototype to software the business runs on.

TheFreshener

### An application the business could finally build on.

TheFreshener depended on an operations application that had become difficult to manage. We took it over, fixed the gaps, brought it into production, and continued developing it as the business expanded.

Outcome In production, with features and integrations for new product types
