      Talk this through

      How it works

      Three steps. Fixed prices. Then it’s your call.

      Every step has a price, a length and a written outcome you can hold us to. Nothing is billed hourly.

      1. Codebase call

        30 minutes

        You tell us what’s going on. We tell you honestly whether a rescue makes sense.

        • A straight answer, even if it’s “you don’t need us”
        • NDA first, if you want one
      2. Rescue Audit

        5 business days

        We go through the code, the servers and the accounts, and write down what we find.

        • Health report
        • Ranked fix list with effort estimates
        • 30-day plan
        • Rescue or rebuild: a clear answer

        Yours to keep, even if you never hire us.

        Not useful? You don’t pay for it.

        $2,500

      3. Stabilization Sprint

        6 weeks · 1 lead + 2 engineers

        We fix what the audit found, biggest risk first, and get a stable release out.

        • Automatic deploys, a safe test copy, error alerts
        • Top fixes closed
        • A stable release shipped
        • Runbook handed over

        $9,000 when booked with the retainer. On its own, the sprint is quoted after the audit.

        Miss the exit criteria? We keep working free for up to 2 more weeks.

        $9,000

      What an audit turns up

      Example findings for a fictional product

      • UrgentLive passwords are sitting in the code history.Anyone who ever had access can still reach production.
      • UrgentOnly one laptop can release updates.If that laptop or that person is gone, nobody can ship.
      • HighPayment failures happen silently.Some paying customers lose access and nobody is told.

      After week 6, pick a lane.

      You’re never locked in. You can take it back at any step.

      Our promises

      Burned by a dev team before? Here’s what’s different.

      Most founders who call us have been let down once already. So these are agreed before any work starts.

      • Audit not useful? Don’t pay.

        If the audit isn’t something you’d act on, you don’t pay for it.

      • Missed the goal? We keep going.

        If we miss the sprint’s exit criteria, we keep working free for up to 2 more weeks.

      • Yours from day one.

        Every repo, login and document is in your name from the first day, not ours.

      • Leave cleanly.

        After the retainer’s 3-month minimum, leave with 30 days’ notice and a full handover.

      • NDA before we see your code.

        An NDA is signed before you share your code, your data or your accounts.

      • A signed contract, every time.

        A written contract makes us responsible for how we handle your production data.

      Who you’ll work with

      Hi, I’m Touqeer. I lead every audit myself.

      I’ve been shipping software since 2015: first as an independent engineer fixing other people’s SaaS, then as a co-founder of a dispatch SaaS, and now building my own B2B CRM, Nrtur. I know what it feels like when the code stops cooperating and the people who wrote it are gone.

      Behind me is a 12-person engineering team. Your rescue gets a lead and two engineers for its whole length, working live with you from 9am to 1pm Eastern, every weekday.

      FAQ

      What founders ask first.

      Something else on your mind? [email protected]

      • Who owns the code?

        You do. Every repo, login and document, from day one. If we ever part ways, you get a full handover.

      • What if my product needs a rebuild?

        The audit ends with a clear rescue-or-rebuild answer. If a rebuild is right, we’ll say so, even though rescues are what we sell.

      • We’re not live yet, or we need something new built. Can we still talk?

        Yes. Rescues are what we do best, but if you’re building SaaS, book the call. We’ll tell you straight how we’d approach it.

      • When do you work with us?

        9am to 1pm Eastern, every weekday, live with your team on your Slack and your calls. Need a different window? Raise it on the call.

      • Who touches our production data?

        Our team, and only after an NDA is signed. Every engagement runs on a written contract that makes us responsible for how we handle it.

      • How do we pay?

        By ACH or wire, in USD. Prices are fixed and published. Nothing is billed hourly.

      • What do you need from us to start?

        Access to the repo, the cloud and domain accounts, and a 6-week pause on new features so the sprint can go into stability.

      • Why only 2 new rescues a quarter?

        Each rescue needs a senior lead for 6 weeks. We only take on what we can staff properly.

      • Do you use AI?

        Yes, to read, test and document code faster. You’re paying for judgment and results, not for AI.
