Stalled release
Work continues, but shipping does not get closer.
Product Rescue
When the build is stuck, stop funding guesses.
For founders with a stalled build, fragile codebase, failed agency handoff, or AI prototype wall: one week to decide save, salvage, or scrap before more budget goes into guessing.
$25,000 1 week save / salvage / scrap
Use this when
The build needs a hard decision
Fragile code
Small changes break unrelated parts of the product.
Lost ownership
The agency, freelancer, or developer left unclear context.
AI prototype wall
The demo exists, but it is not production-safe.
Customer risk
Bugs, slow flows, or missing features are hurting trust.
No clear path
You need to know whether to save, salvage, or scrap.
Rescue output
A decision and a recovery plan
Not another vague audit. You get the shortest responsible path forward because the core decision is whether to keep building, rewrite the risky parts, or stop funding the wrong path before budget burns again.
Technical diagnosis
Code, infrastructure, data, UX, release process, and major risks.
Save / salvage / scrap call
What to keep, what to rewrite, and what to stop funding.
90-day recovery plan
Sequenced workstreams, effort ranges, owners, and risk controls.
Founder briefing
A plain-English walkthrough for your team, board, or investors.
Process
One week, four moves
01
Intake
Context, access, constraints, deadlines.
02
Audit
Repo, architecture, UX, deploy path.
03
Decision
Save, salvage, or scrap.
04
Plan
90-day roadmap and handoff call.
Good fit
Use it when stakes are real.
- You spent real money or time and still cannot ship.
- There is a deadline, customer risk, investor update, or runway pressure.
- You can provide product/repo access and make decisions quickly.
- You want the truth, not reassurance.
Not a fit
Skip it if nothing changes.
- You only need cheap extra hands.
- There is no urgent business consequence.
- Decision makers or system access are unavailable.
- You want a long report instead of an operating plan.
Fixed engagement

Bring the broken build. You get the truth: save it, salvage parts of it, or stop funding it.
