Technical Audit and Code Review for the SaaS You Run
A fixed-scope audit: what runs where, a risk list ordered by the cost of a failure, and a written report on what to fix first and what can wait.
Scope & deliverables
- For whom
- Owners of an existing SaaS or CRM product who inherited the codebase or keep getting surprised by it, and have no technical director.
- Outcome
- A fixed-scope audit: an inventory of what runs where, a risk list ordered by what it would cost if it broke, a review of the code and the infrastructure against what the product actually does, and a written report that says what to fix first and what can wait.
- What I need
- Repository access, a list of the features customers depend on, and a description of what already broke. Read-only access is enough for the first stage.
- Format & timing
- One agreed scope, a fixed fee and a written report. Timing depends on the size of the codebase and on access being granted; fixes are a separate stage.
Project or ongoing retainer. Scope, schedule and fees are agreed after an initial review. I reply within one business day and name the next step before you commit to anything.

Questions about this service
What does a technical audit actually deliver?
A document you can act on, not a review that admires the code. You get an inventory of the parts of the product and where each one runs, a risk list ordered by what a failure would cost, a review of the code and the infrastructure against what the product actually does, and a clear split between what to fix first and what can wait. The audit changes nothing on its own; you decide what happens next.
What do you need from us to run a technical audit?
Repository access, a list of the features customers depend on and a description of what already broke. Read-only access is enough for the first stage; write access is needed only if we go on to fix what the report lists.
Can you review the developer or agency we are about to sign?
Yes. I read their code and their proposal against what the product needs, and tell you what they are genuinely good at, what is missing, and what the estimate is hiding. It is a short engagement, and it often ends with a different plan than the one you had.
Or: the developer you are about to sign
The same reading, applied to a different object. I review the code and the proposal of the developer or agency you are considering against what your product needs: what they are genuinely good at, what is missing, and what the estimate is hiding. It is a short engagement, and it often ends with a different plan than the one you had.
