Rescue Audit
A paid diagnostic for apps that are close, but not safe.
The Rescue Audit is the front door for messy, blocked, or unclear projects. You get a plain-English diagnosis, a sharper understanding of what is actually broken, and a recommended path to launch.
$2,500 for the standard audit.
Rush turnaround can be added when needed.
Repo, deployment setup, auth, billing, data model, core user flow, and the parts of the stack most likely to break trust at launch.
Risk assessment, top blockers, keep / patch / rebuild guidance, priority order, and a recommended sprint scope if the project is fit for rescue.
A ranked risk map of the trust-breaking parts of the product: what is merely ugly, what is actually dangerous, and what is blocking a credible launch.
A practical decision framework for what to patch, what to refactor, what to stop preserving, and whether a rescue sprint is justified.
A concrete next-step plan for the next 7–30 days so the product gets calmer instead of accumulating more random output.
Best fit
You already have an app, a repo, and a real reason to care.
If you can demo the main flow but do not trust the product enough to ship it comfortably, the audit is the right front door.
This is especially useful when the app has momentum but nobody is confident about auth, billing, onboarding, deploy stability, or overall code quality.
Good outcomes from the audit
- You learn the app is rescuable without a full rewrite.
- You learn exactly what to fix in the next 7–30 days.
- You avoid wasting money preserving the wrong code.
- You get a clear yes/no on whether a rescue sprint makes sense.
What the application now asks
- What the product does and what is already usable
- Where the product feels fragile, blocked, or embarrassing
- Stack, repo status, infrastructure access, and contributors
- Urgency, budget range, and whether rebuild recommendations are acceptable
What happens after you apply
Good-fit applications are reviewed manually. If the product is real and the problem is real, the next step is the Rescue Audit. If the blocker is already bounded and obvious, the next conversation may be a scoped rescue sprint instead.
Next step
Bring the messy version.
If the app is close but fragile, FinishPath will help you understand what is worth saving, what is risky, and what should happen next.
