Get Your Project Back on Track
When software projects stall, fail, or go sideways, we step in. No blame, no excuses. Just a clear path forward.
Stalled Projects Are More Common Than You Think
It happens to good companies all the time. A critical initiative loses momentum. Deadlines slip. The original team moves on or the vendor relationship falls apart. Suddenly you're stuck with half-built software, mounting costs, and no clear way forward.
The reasons vary but the situation is the same. You've invested time and money into something that isn't working, and you need someone who can help you figure out what to do next.
Maybe the architecture couldn't scale. Maybe requirements changed and the codebase couldn't keep up. Maybe communication broke down and the project drifted away from what you actually needed. That's where we come in.
Recognize Any of These?
Projects rarely fail overnight. These are the signs that something has gone wrong.
Timelines have slipped multiple times with no end in sight
You're not sure what the development team is actually working on
The software technically works but doesn't solve the original problem
Key people have left and taken critical knowledge with them
Your vendor is unresponsive or making excuses
Technical debt has piled up and every change breaks something else
Leadership has lost confidence in the project
You've been told it needs to be completely rewritten
The budget is gone but the work isn't done
Our Rescue Process
Assessment
We start by understanding what you actually have. We review the codebase, architecture, documentation, and project history. We talk to stakeholders and the existing team if available. No assumptions, just facts.
Diagnosis
Based on the assessment, we identify the root causes. Not just symptoms, but the underlying issues that led to this point. Technical problems, process breakdowns, misaligned expectations. We name them clearly.
Options
We present your realistic options. Sometimes the path forward is stabilization and iteration. Sometimes it's a targeted rebuild of specific components. Occasionally, starting fresh is the right call. We lay out the tradeoffs so you can make an informed decision.
Stabilization
If you move forward with us, we start by stopping the bleeding. We address critical issues, reduce risk, and create a stable foundation before adding anything new. This phase is about control, not features.
Recovery
With stability in place, we execute on the recovery plan. Methodical progress with regular check-ins, working software to review, and clear communication throughout. We get you to the finish line.
How We Approach Rescue Differently
Rescue work requires a different mindset than greenfield development. We've refined our approach through years of stepping into difficult situations.
Assessment First
Jump in and start fixing things immediately.
Understand the full picture before touching anything. Rushed fixes often make things worse.
Honesty Over Optimism
Tell you what you want to hear to win the work.
Tell you the truth about what we find, even if it's uncomfortable. You need real information to make real decisions.
Preserve What Works
Recommend a complete rewrite because it's easier to sell.
Rewrites are sometimes necessary but often aren't. We protect your existing investment where possible.
Projects We've Rescued
Vendor Abandonment
Your development partner disappeared, went out of business, or delivered something unusable. You're left holding code you don't understand. We take over, assess what's there, and get you moving again.
Scope Explosion
What started as a simple project grew into something unmanageable. Features kept getting added, timelines kept slipping, and now no one knows what done looks like. We help you cut through the noise and ship something that matters.
Technical Collapse
The architecture can't handle your growth. Performance is tanking. Every new feature introduces bugs. The foundation is cracked. We stabilize, refactor, and rebuild what needs to be rebuilt.
Team Turnover
Key developers left and took all the knowledge with them. No one understands how the system works. We reverse-engineer what's there, document it, and either take over development or prepare your next team for success.
Integration Nightmare
Multiple systems that were supposed to work together don't. Data is inconsistent, workflows are broken, and your team is doing manual work to fill the gaps. We untangle the mess and build integrations that actually work.
Failed Launch
You launched but it didn't go well. Users are frustrated, bugs are piling up, and confidence is shattered. We triage the issues, prioritize ruthlessly, and help you recover.
After the Rescue
A successful rescue doesn't just fix what's broken. It sets you up for what comes next.
Stable Solution
Working software that delivers the value you originally needed
Documentation
Clear understanding of how the system works and how to maintain it
Path Forward
Recommendations for ongoing maintenance and future development
Some clients bring us on for continued development after the rescue. Others have their internal team take over with confidence. Either way, you're back in control with technology that works for your business instead of against it.
Let's Figure Out Your Next Step
If your project is stuck, we can help you understand your options. No commitment, no judgment. Just an honest conversation about where things stand and what it would take to move forward.
Confidential. We've seen it all. Nothing you tell us will surprise us.
