How It Works: Transparent Engineering Workflow
No retainer traps. No endless discovery phases. Here is exactly what happens from the moment you book your $125 Code Review to your final production deployment.
Prepay on Stripe & Share Code
Book your 60-minute code review through our verified Stripe checkout ($125). Once confirmed, you invite us as a collaborator to your GitHub repository or send your project zip archive directly to our engineering intake.
- ✓100% upfront prepaid checkout to respect client and studio scheduling
- ✓Option A: Grant read/collaborator access to your private GitHub repo
- ✓Option B: Send an encrypted or direct ZIP file of your codebase
- ✓Confirmation email with calendar coordination within 1 business morning
Comprehensive Codebase Diagnostic
Our engineering team conducts a thorough architectural and dependency audit of your codebase, verifying compilation health, API integrations, data schemas, and deployment readiness.
- ✓Identify compilation blockers, failing dependencies, and critical security issues
- ✓Trace API integrity, database connection models, and authentication workflows
- ✓Evaluate deployment configuration, cloud infrastructure, and runtime performance
- ✓Synthesize technical findings into clear, actionable, plain-English milestones
Live Review Call Walkthrough
We connect directly via Apple FaceTime, WhatsApp, or standard phone call (with screen-share via FaceTime or Meet if desired). We walk you through your codebase in real time without tech jargon.
- ✓We explain what code you actually have and how well it is built
- ✓We show you exactly what is missing, broken, or improperly wired
- ✓You can ask any questions about frameworks, databases, or deployment
- ✓Zero high-pressure sales pitches—just candid technical clarity
Plain-English Diagnostic Report Delivered
You receive a comprehensive, written Diagnostic Report summarizing the findings, current technical debt, recommended architecture, and a clear step-by-step roadmap to get your app to production.
- ✓Written in plain English so founders and investors can understand every point
- ✓Itemized technical roadmap detailing required fixes, migrations, or features
- ✓Tailored fixed-scope quote for downstream JSP engineering sprints
- ✓Yours to keep forever—take it to any developer or build it yourself
Your Choice: DIY, Fix Sprint, or Full Build
Armed with your Diagnostic Report, you choose how to move forward. You have full freedom to build on your own, hire an external developer, or activate our dedicated studio engineering passes.
- ✓Choice A (DIY): Use our written roadmap as your blueprint to build independently
- ✓Choice B (Remote Fix): Hire our studio to isolate and resolve blockers on a clean branch
- ✓Choice C (Dedicated Sprint): Unlock hands-on feature engineering and mobile app passes
- ✓Choice D (Turnkey Setup): Full developer environment setup & automated deployment pipeline
Process & Deliverable Questions
Why is the $125 Code Review required before hiring you for builds?
Every broken app has unique debt under the hood. By conducting an upfront audit, we protect you from bloated agency estimates and protect our studio from open-ended scope creep. You walk away with full technical clarity either way.
How are follow-up code fixes and build sprints priced?
Downstream engineering is itemized inside your written Diagnostic Report based on the exact files and APIs that need work. You receive private fixed-scope quotes and Stripe links to activate the sprint.
Do I have to use Git to work with you?
Not at all. While GitHub is our preferred workflow, you can simply upload or email a project zip file. We repair the code, test it locally, and return a clean, verified zip file with step-by-step instructions.
