Software project rescue, for a build that has already missed its dates.
A project that has stopped moving is a hard thing to report on. The date has moved more than once, the updates have stopped saying anything and nobody in the room can tell you how much of what exists is usable. Until somebody has read the code, every estimate for finishing it is a guess.
So don't wait on another date you can't check. We rescue the build one paid week at a time. Each week you see what got done, the code is yours after each paid week and you can stop.
A rescue runs one paid week at a time.
It starts with a free call
A software project rescue starts with a free call about what has to be solved: where the build stopped, what it was meant to do and what you need to be able to report.
Week 1: we read the code and write the plan
Our AI team of 8 agents works in your own repo, the place your code is stored. It reads the code you already have and writes the plan. Week 1 is billed like any first week: $1,500, paid after the week, with a money-back guarantee. It ends with a review.
Then a specification, then paid build weeks
We write a specification. Once you agree on it, the AI team builds in paid weeks, $2,000 a week, each one billed after it's done.
What week 1 settles.
Week 1 exists to replace opinion with something written down. Four questions, and the answers are yours whether or not you go any further with us.
What the code actually does today
We read what's been written and set it against what the project was supposed to deliver. Much of the disagreement about a stalled build lives inside that gap.
What's worth keeping
Some of what exists will be sound, some will be a shell with nothing behind it and some will have to be done again. We separate the three and tell you which is which. Starting over is sometimes the right answer, and we say so plainly when it is.
What to build first
The plan puts the work in an order you agree with us. It isn't a fixed quote or a finish date. It's what gets built next and why, written down, so you can read the reasoning instead of taking it on trust.
What's still an open question
Anything week 1 can't settle is named as an open question rather than buried inside an estimate. A rescue that starts by hiding the unknowns is the same project you already have, with a new invoice attached to it.
Every week, you can see what got done.
From the review at the end of week 1, you see the inbox of requests, the board, what's in progress and what's done. When your leadership asks where the project stands, you open the board and show them.
Each week starts with a call with our product team. You agree on the order of your requests with them, and they tell you if something has to come first.
That's what replaces another promised date: finished work you can check yourself, one week at a time.
The risk is one week.
- There's no minimum. You can stop any week.
- Every week is billed after it's done, never up front.
- Week 1 comes with a money-back guarantee.
- If a result doesn't match what you asked for, we fix it free. New requirements are paid work.
- The full source code, backend included, is yours after each paid week. It's delivered through git, the tool developers use to store code and keep a record of every change made to it.
- The work is built by AI teams and backed by senior engineers. Our product team and senior engineers check that it works as expected.
Week 1 needs access to what's already there.
Reading the code takes the work itself, not a description of it. In the first week we ask for access to:
- The existing repo, including its history if the history still exists.
- The hosting the system runs on.
- Whatever documentation exists, in whatever state it's in. A ticket backlog and a chat thread both count.
- The scope that was originally agreed, and any written record of what changed after it.
Missing pieces are normal. If nobody can find the hosting login, or the history stops before the last release, that tells us something about the state of the project. It isn't a reason to wait. Tell us what you have and we'll start from there.
You end up with code you own and can hire for.
The code is yours
It's in your own repo and it's yours after each paid week. Whether you keep working with us is a decision you make on the merits, not one the code makes for you.
A system on technology you can hire for
What we build runs on a widely used, well-documented stack, so the engineers you hire next will already know it. The full list is on our technology stack page.
References on request
References are available on request, and Gryndcamp is one of them.
If the stalled build is an early-stage product rather than an internal system, the same work written for startup founders is on our page for startups.
Need a fixed price and a date for your leadership?
That's Paid Discovery, our separate route with a fixed price and a fixed time. You don't need it to start a rescue week. The detail is on our pricing page.
