Assess the current state of your platform against the organizational goals the software is expected to meet.
Assessing the quality of code is challenging when only observing the final result. Picture this: your clients uncover issues and outages before you do. It's not just a hiccup; it's a potential loss of trust and business.
Early Issue Detection
Buggy and error-prone code negatively affects your customers' experience. Uncover them before they become customer-reported problems.
Coding Practices Assessment
Ensure your software is built using industry-best practices, optimizing for performance, scalability, and maintainability.
Strategic Technological Roadmap
Evaluate your existing technological infrastructure to determine its capacity for supporting your product expansion plans.
Key Dimensions
Quality
We analyze the code base and infrastructure in order to determine if it has been built following industry standards and best practices
Security
We check if both technology and business are vulnerable to basic security threats.
Reliability
We determine if the platform is set to operate continuously with monitoring in place.
Performance
We investigate reasons of poor performance and assess the platform's scalability potential.

Intellectual Property
and Infrastructure Control
Frequently, code is built by external agencies or freelancers, and requirements regarding intellectual property (IP) and infrastructure ownership are not imposed by the client. This situation often results in the client lacking control over technology-related assets, posing a genuine threat to the business.
Beyond Requirements:
Validating User Capacity in Tech
The platform created for the client might have been developed without specific requirements regarding the anticipated user count. Even if such requirements were defined, they may have never been validated under actual traffic conditions. Therefore, it's essential to ensure that the technology is prepared to meet upcoming business goals, whether it's a large-scale marketing campaign, a new product version, or the introduction of innovative features.
Long-Term Resilience:
The Cost of Ignoring Tech Enhancement
Technology is often constructed over an extended period during which its form undergoes significant changes. Failure to dedicate time to its enhancement and the reduction of technological debt can lead to stability issues and hinder the continued development of the application.
Quality Assurance in
Long-Term Development
A platform developed over an extended period, especially when created by multiple teams, may be susceptible to a decline in quality. This manifests in system issues and is characterized by the absence of fundamental elements, such as clear code structure or unit tests.
Getting the Green Light: NDA & Accesses
Initiating the process by signing a Non-Disclosure Agreement and requesting access to the code base and relevant infrastructure materials.
Discovery Session
A focused session to identify the current state of things and determine business expectations about the software.
Analysis of Source Code and Technological Infrastructure
A comprehensive examination to identify strengths, weaknesses, and potential areas for improvement.
Assessment of Technological Infrastructure Alignment with Business Goals
Assess aspects such as scalability, security, and overall efficiency to determine the extent to which the existing technology aligns with the strategic objectives of the business.
Recommendations
Insights aimed at optimizing the code base, technological infrastructure, and overall ecosystem.
Right before the Ed-Tech startup was about to announce the app to the multi million people audience,
we reviewed the product and identified it would break
on the first 100k visits.
A mobile app startup from the US came to us with certain features just before making a promise to investors.
It turned out that there were critical flaws to the security, which could result in data leak and potentially losing the business if they weren't fixed.
