WHAT YOU RECEIVE
Your Software maintenance and technical debt project, clearly defined.
Teams needing focused diagnosis, dependable maintenance or an additional delivery partner.
Codebase review
Inspect the agreed assets and reproduce the relevant conditions where access permits. Separate confirmed findings from hypotheses and prioritize the next actions by impact, risk and dependency.
Maintenance backlog
Receive a prioritized written account of what was found or delivered, why it matters and what to do next. Where appropriate, include supporting examples and a distinction between included work and a future phase.
Agreed development capacity
The brief defines the exact agreed development capacity required for software maintenance and technical debt. We show the named output at its review milestone and record any data, access or third-party dependencies before handover.
Scope and requirements
The plan defines capacity, response expectations and release responsibilities.
Any additional work is scoped and priced for your approval.
THE DELIVERY PATH

Follow the preparation, review and delivery stages for this service.

Share the affected system, symptoms, recent changes and business impact.
Agree a safe approach
Confirm access, backup, diagnostic scope and any maintenance window.
Investigate or deliver
Review findings and approve work beyond the original scope before it begins.

What is included?
Includes Codebase review, Maintenance backlog and Agreed development capacity. The plan defines capacity, response expectations and release responsibilities.
Does a diagnostic package include every repair?
No. A bounded diagnosis identifies the issue and a recommended fix. Work outside its stated scope is quoted before proceeding.
Can you take over from another developer?
We first review the code, documentation, licenses and access you control, then propose a safe handover.
Is the monthly service automatically renewed?
The current store sells a defined service period, not an automatic recurring subscription. Renewal is arranged explicitly.
