What I need from you
About 6 hours of your time across the two weeks (a kickoff, a few interviews with you and your team, and the final walkthrough). Read-only access to your code, cloud and tools. I'm happy to sign an NDA.
Foundations Review
Sample Foundations Review
This is a sample of the written report a founder receives at the end of a Foundations Review. It gives a broad view of the company’s engineering, from cloud infrastructure and delivery to team practices and AI use.
Who it's for
For founders and leadership teams who want to see what a written review of a software company's engineering, delivery and AI use looks like.
Timeline
A Foundations Review takes about two weeks, including the review, written plan and handover.
What's inside
- An executive summary with a clear verdict.
- A rating for architecture and cloud, delivery, code and tests, security and access, reliability, team and process, and AI use.
- Findings ranked by risk, each with a recommendation, effort and cost.
- Written decisions, a 30/60/90-day plan, and a handover showing who owns what.
What this is not
Not a penetration test, not a line-by-line code audit, and I don't change your code during the review.
Payment
50% to start, 50% at handover.
