Our team begins every rescue by thoroughly reviewing your existing project—assessing the code, infrastructure, user experience, and documentation. We'll clearly identify strengths, pinpoint areas requiring immediate attention, and create a pragmatic action plan designed to systematically tackle each challenge. You'll gain clarity, control, and confidence to move your project forward efficiently.
We understand the potential disruption of changing developers mid-project. Our structured onboarding process ensures a seamless handover, whether transitioning from an internal team or another provider. Through transparent communication and regular progress updates, you'll always know exactly what's happening and when, minimising delays and keeping your stakeholders fully informed at every step.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q) What kinds of projects can you take over and rescue?
We specialise in rescuing and optimising mobile apps, web applications, SaaS platforms, and AI-generated software. Generally, we're taking projects that have started in some shape or form, but have hit a wall or a pit of despair.
Q) How quickly can you get started on my project?
Typically, our review and onboarding process begins within one to twos week, providing immediate clarity on next steps. However, this is subject to availability depending upon how busy we are at different times of the year. So, if you have something in mind and high priorities, then please reach out. Don't hesitate to reach out sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment.
Q) Can you collaborate with my existing developers or freelancers?
Yes, we can collaborate with your existing developers or freelancers. However, please bear in mind that if we're involved in a project, our aim is to adopt best practices. For collaboration to be effective, teams must work together rather than in conflict, ensuring alignment towards a shared vision.
Q) Do you handle ongoing support and maintenance?
Yes, we can provide support and maintenance. In fact, if we take on this project, it would naturally involve us in support, maintenance, and ongoing development.
However, before entering into a contract, we would typically review the source code and require any relevant documentation. This ensures that all teams begin with a clear understanding of what they are taking on.
Q) My app code quality isn't great—can you still help?
Yes, if the code quality is poor, but it's in a language we support and doesn't require a complete rewrite, we can assist with refactoring. However, if significant work is needed, such as security modifications, we may advise against developing new features until the code quality is improved, technical debt is addressed, and security issues are resolved.
Q) Will my data and intellectual property remain secure during the handover?
Yes, we take security and confidentiality seriously, using robust agreements and secure processes to protect your data.
Our terms of engagement will outline the specifics regarding intellectual property. Typically, this means we include contract provisions to ensure that any intellectual property you own remains yours. This is subject to contract, as we recognise that the intellectual property position of each project may differ slightly and require a tailored approach.
Q) Do you provide cost estimates upfront?
We provide transparent, detailed cost estimates based on our initial assessment, which aims to avoid surprises along the way.
However, please be aware that for existing codebases, there can be a degree of risk and uncertainty regarding the amount of work required for development. While we may be able to provide fixed quotes for some tasks, others may need to be undertaken on a time and materials basis, based on estimates. We will keep you informed of our recommendations based on your current source code.
Q) What if my documentation or source code is incomplete?
If the source code or documentation is incomplete, we can create it for you if you’d like. We can also estimate the development work required to complete the project tickets. Not just the tickets you’ve created, but to bring the project to a state you’re happy with.
