Software review
An expert second opinion.
A fixed-price, independent review of your software, covering architecture, code, security and infrastructure, written up as a clear report with prioritised recommendations.
When it helps
Know before you commit
Before you rebuild
Find out what's worth keeping, what isn't, and what a sensible modernisation path looks like.
Before you take over
Inheriting a system from a supplier, a departing team or an acquisition? Know what you're taking on.
Before you invest
Independent technical due diligence on a product or platform, from people who've built and run them.
When things have slowed down
Releases take longer, bugs keep coming back, costs keep rising. We'll find out why.
Scope
What we look at
Every review is scoped to the questions you need answered. These are the areas we usually cover.
Architecture
How the system fits together, and whether it will cope with what's coming.
Code
Quality, maintainability, test coverage, and where the risk is concentrated.
Security
Dependencies, configuration, access control and known vulnerabilities.
Infrastructure
Hosting, deployment, backups, monitoring and running costs.
Modernisation
What to keep, what to replace, and in what order.
Deliverables
What you get
A written report
Findings, risks and prioritised recommendations with rough effort estimates, in plain English that your board can read too.
A recorded walkthrough
A video tour of the findings that your team can watch when it suits them and share with whoever needs it.
Your questions answered
A follow-up call or written answers, whichever suits you, so nothing in the report is left unclear.
Process
How it works
Many reviews lead into a care plan or a modernisation project, but the report is yours to use with any team.

02
Access
Read-only access to code, infrastructure and documentation, under an NDA if you need one.

Review
We work through the system and test our findings against how it actually behaves.
