Software audit
A Software Health Check
A senior engineer reviews the software you built and tells you, in plain English, what is solid and what could break, leak data, or cost you. You get a written report and a walkthrough call. It starts at $499.
Why get one
Software built with AI tools is a black box. It works until it doesn’t, and there’s usually nobody to call. An audit turns the black box into a plain-English report you can actually act on: what to fix now, what can wait, and what to ignore.
Pricing
| Tier | Scope | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Health Check | One application, one codebase, up to about 25,000 lines. Written report and a 30-minute walkthrough call. | $499 |
| Full Review | Multiple services, integrations, and infrastructure. Report plus a remediation plan with estimates. | $1,500 |
| Review + Roadmap | Everything in Full Review, plus a prioritized 90-day plan and a working session with your team. | $3,500 |
Payment upfront. Five-day turnaround on the Health Check from the time we have access. Scope is capped at the tier you book, so the price you see is the price you pay.
What the audit answers
Six questions, in plain language. Not a technical checklist you can’t read.
-
Can you leave?
Who owns the code, and can you export it? Are you locked into a platform? Who actually controls the domain, the database, the keys, and the accounts?
-
Is it exposed?
Are there secrets sitting in code the browser can read? Who can reach your data, and under what rules? What are you storing, and how are personal and payment details handled?
-
Will it survive success?
What happens under real load? Are errors handled or do they fail silently? Is anyone watching it? Are there backups, and has anyone ever restored one?
-
Can anyone else work on it?
Can another engineer read it? Is there a single point of failure? Could the whole thing be deployed again from scratch if it had to be?
-
What does it cost to run?
What are you really spending each month on infrastructure and API calls, and what does that number become at ten times the traffic?
-
What breaks first?
A prioritized list of findings, ranked by how bad it is, how likely it is, and roughly what it costs to fix.
What you get
A written report in plain English, five to ten pages, with every finding rated Critical, Important, or Cosmetic. Then a 30-minute call to walk through it together, so you’re not left decoding a document on your own.
What you probably don’t need to fix
The report has a section for this on purpose. Plenty of things in a codebase look alarming and are cheap, or simply not worth fixing yet. We call those out by name, so you don’t spend money chasing problems that aren’t problems. Telling you what to ignore is part of the job, not an upsell we’re avoiding.
