COMMERCIAL MODEL / CLEAR STAGES

The first conversation is free. The first technical investigation is paid.

Existing software is difficult to quote responsibly from a short brief. We separate the relationship decision from the technical investigation so you are not paying just to find out whether we can work together.

PATH / CONSULT → ASSESS → TAKE OVER → CARE

Each stage should earn the next one. You can stop after the consultation or assessment without being locked into a larger engagement.

00 / FREE CONSULTATION
Free

A short introduction and fit conversation before any technical investigation or commercial commitment.

  • Business and application context
  • What changed and why help is needed now
  • High-level technical situation
  • Urgency and desired outcome
  • Direct conversation with the developer
  • Decision on whether there is a sensible next step
No repository access, audit or written technical recommendations are included at this stage. Choose how to start
02 / NOREWRITE TAKEOVER
from 2500

Focused senior development against an agreed set of high-impact risks, bottlenecks and ownership gaps.

  • Defined priorities and scope
  • Performance, reliability or architecture work
  • Integrations and critical workflows
  • Before/after verification where measurable
  • Documentation of material changes
  • Handover or transition into ongoing Care
Quoted after enough of the inherited system is understood to make the scope credible. See how takeover works
03 / NOREWRITE CARE
from 950

Ongoing senior ownership for applications that need continuity without another full-time technical hire.

  • Reserved monthly capacity
  • Maintenance and dependency review
  • Bug fixes and small improvements
  • Priority production support
  • Architecture and technical decisions
  • Continuity from someone who knows the system
Retainers can expand where the application needs more regular development capacity. See ongoing Care
COMMERCIAL / FAQ

No mystery discovery project.

What exactly is free?

The initial consultation: understanding the situation, deciding whether there is a fit and identifying the sensible next commercial step. Technical investigation starts with the paid assessment.

Why not diagnose the application during the free call?

Because responsible technical advice requires evidence. Without inspecting the code, data, dependencies, deployment and integrations, detailed recommendations would be guesswork. The assessment exists to turn assumptions into a useful technical deliverable.

Can you quote the entire takeover before the assessment?

Sometimes, but usually that would be guesswork. Existing applications hide risk in code, data, deployment and integrations. The assessment is designed to make the larger quote credible.

Can we use the assessment and hire somebody else?

Yes. The assessment is a standalone deliverable intended to give you a clearer technical picture and priority list.

Does NoRewrite mean you never recommend a rewrite?

No. It means rewriting is not the default answer. If replacement is the sensible path after understanding the system and migration cost, we will say so.
