Services · The Rescue

The Rescue is a five-working-day engagement in which one senior engineer fixes the three problems that hurt most in a legacy system you already run, with before-and-after numbers in writing. Most modernization programmes start by replacing everything, take a year, and stall. The Rescue does the opposite: one senior engineer, five working days, the problems that hurt most fixed in the system you already run, with before-and-after numbers in writing.

  • Month-end or reporting jobs that take hours instead of minutes
  • Integrations that fail without anyone noticing until a customer complains
  • Slow SQL queries and Power BI reports that time out
  • A legacy PHP or Laravel codebase that nobody dares change
  • Staff re-typing the same data between systems every day, work that can usually be automated

Day one is measurement: where the time and the errors actually come from. Days two to four are fixes, the three that matter most, tested and shipped. Day five is handover: the numbers before and after, what changed, and a map of everything else that is worth doing, in priority order.

The system that runs today is also the one that makes your money. Rewrites move risk to the future and the cost to now. Targeted fixes to the slowest and most fragile parts usually return most of the benefit in a fraction of the time, and leave you free to modernize the rest step by step.

Usually, yes: most Rescues follow a Diagnosis, so day one is skipped and the scope is fixed on facts.

By the size of the scope. The price for your system is fixed in writing after the Diagnosis, before any work starts, and it does not move.

Fixes are built and tested on a copy first, and go live through your normal release process with your approval.

Yes. Every Rescue ends with a handover session so your team owns the changes.

Half when work starts and half on delivery of the before-and-after numbers. The changes go live once the final payment is made. Payment in your local currency is possible, paid before each stage.
