How it runs

  1. 1

    Scope

    Agree the questions the audit must answer and who needs the report.

  2. 2

    Investigate

    Two to three weeks of reading code, measuring and talking to the team.

  3. 3

    Report

    A plain-English report with a prioritised plan, not a list of complaints.

  4. 4

    Follow up

    Optional hands-on help to deliver the first, highest-impact fixes.

Common questions

Will the report blame the previous team?

No. Every codebase reflects the constraints it was built under. The report explains what to change next and why.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes, before any access to code or data is shared.
