Features wait because the team is at capacity.
What we build: Engineers who join your sprints and deliver features in your repositories and review process.
Inherited code nobody wants to touch.
What we build: A review of the codebase, then stabilisation: tests, fixes and documentation where it's missing.

What we build: Performance and reliability work on the front end, APIs and database.
An ageing stack holding the product back.
What we build: Step-by-step modernisation, so the product keeps running while it improves.

Cost and timeline
What shapes the estimate.
Codebase size and state
How large the system is, and how much stabilisation it needs first.
Test coverage
Well-tested code is faster and safer to change.
Team shape
How many engineers, and which roles.
Access and setup
Environments, security reviews and onboarding to your tools.
Duration
A focused piece of work, or ongoing capacity month to month.
A scoping call turns these into a real estimate for your project.
