Common questions about project rescue
Honestly, no. During our situation audit, we'll assess whether rescue is viable or if starting fresh makes more sense. We'll give you straight answers about what's salvageable and what isn't, along with realistic options for moving forward.
That's entirely your decision. We can work professionally with them to transfer knowledge and handle migration smoothly, or we can take over completely. We're not interested in blame - just fixing the problem.
It varies significantly based on the extent of issues and project complexity. After our situation audit, we'll provide realistic timelines. Some rescues take weeks, others take months. We won't promise quick fixes for complex problems.
Absolutely. We'll provide a frank assessment of code quality, architectural issues, security vulnerabilities, and what caused the failure. You'll get transparent answers without sugar-coating.
We'll tell you. If starting fresh is more cost-effective than rescue, we'll recommend that option. Sometimes rebuilding with proper architecture delivers better long-term value than extensive refactoring.
We sign strict NDAs and are ISO 27001 certified. Your code, business logic, and the details of what went wrong remain completely confidential.
We provide full documentation, explain the architecture, and can offer ongoing support or training. The goal is for you or your next team to maintain the project confidently without depending on us.
Yes. We regularly take over projects at various stages - from early development gone wrong to nearly-complete projects with critical issues. We assess where things stand and create a rescue plan from there.
