Process

A rescue process built for messy reality.

This is intentionally narrow: qualify quickly, diagnose if needed, then run a focused sprint to stabilize the launch-critical path.

1. Intake and access

You share the app, the repo if available, the core goal, and the part of the product that feels risky, broken, or embarrassing.

2. Technical diagnosis

FinishPath reviews the critical path and maps the product into salvageable, risky, and not-worth-preserving zones.

3. Clear recommendation

You get a practical answer: patch, refactor, partial rebuild, or rewrite — with rationale instead of hand-wavy fear.

What happens after the audit

If the app is fit for rescue, the next step is a fixed-fee Rescue Sprint focused on the highest-risk parts of the product.

Typical sprint scope includes broken core flows, auth, billing, onboarding, deployment reliability, and the parts of the codebase most likely to create launch pain.

What we optimize for

  • confidence before launch
  • fewer regressions
  • clearer ownership and handoff
  • less wasted work preserving the wrong code

Start with clarity

Paid diagnostic first. Fixed-fee sprint second.

The first deliverable is a useful diagnosis, not a padded proposal. That keeps the next move sharp.
