What is your legacy code really costing you?

An honest read of the system you depend on.

What it actually costs you

A change that used to take a week now takes a month. Nobody remembers when that happened, and nobody has costed it. That is how legacy actually works.

A legacy codebase audit is where the costing starts. It maps what you actually have: the architecture, the code quality, the real risks. Then it tells you what to move, what to keep, and in what order.

The goal isn't a rewrite for its own sake. The goal is knowing what's solid, what's fragile, and in what order it all moves, now that moving off legacy code costs less than it used to.

What you get

Full Assessment

Architecture, code quality, test coverage and technical debt, mapped and rated so you can see the whole picture at once.

Codebase Deep-Dive

We read the code that matters most, document how it actually works, and flag the parts that will hurt you as you grow.

Risk & Security Review

Dependency, security and reliability risks surfaced and prioritised, so the urgent gets separated from the merely annoying.

A Migration Plan

The route off the system you have: what moves first, what gets rebuilt, what gets retired, and what can safely stay. Effort and impact for each step.

How the audit works

Step 1Assess

We get access, run the tooling, and review architecture, code and dependencies against what the system needs to do.

Step 2Map

We document how the system really works, where the risk sits, and how the pieces depend on each other.

Step 3Recommend

You get a migration plan with honest trade-offs: what to keep, what to rebuild, what to retire, and what each step costs.

Who reads your code

One senior architect reads your code. Not a tool, not a junior.

However you hand over the code, Samuel is the account you grant read access to. He reads the code himself, and he stands behind the plan.

Common questions

Most audits run two to four weeks, depending on the size of the system and how much context is available.

No. We need read access to the code, a short kickoff, and a few conversations with people who know the system. The heavy lifting is ours.

Only if the evidence points there. Most systems don't need a full rewrite; they need targeted fixes and a clear plan. We tell you either way.

A written assessment, a risk register, and a migration plan with effort and impact for each step. Everything in plain language.

Yes. Many audits lead into a focused engagement, but there's no obligation. The plan stands on its own.
