How it works
Read-only access for 1-2 weeks
We get read-only access to your codebase, cloud accounts, infrastructure docs and architectural diagrams. Optional engineer interviews.
Independent assessment
Architecture, security, performance, observability, technical debt and team practices — assessed independently with no engagement-extension agenda.
Written report + 1-hour walkthrough
Detailed written report with findings ranked by severity + recommendations. One hour live walkthrough with your team / board.
Pricing
Code audits from $8,000 (small codebase, single product) to $25,000 (multi-service, multi-team codebase). 2-3 week turnaround.
FAQ
Will you take on the work to fix what you find?
Optionally. Audit engagements are independent — we hand over the report and you decide what to do. If you want us to fix things, that's a separate engagement.
Is this useful for non-technical founders?
Especially useful. We translate technical findings into business-impact language and prioritisation that's actionable in board conversations.
