01Overview

What this engagement delivers

Before you hire a team, acquire a company or approve a rewrite, it pays to know the real state of the code. A senior engineer spends half a day in your repository, assessing whether it runs locally, how well it is tested, how tangled its dependencies are and what the commit history shows about working practices. You receive a concise report with a maintainability rating, the three most significant risks and a rough estimate of the effort to address them.
