Overview

About this service

Before you hire a team, acquire a company or approve a rewrite, it helps to know what the code is really like. We spend half a day reading your repository the way a new developer would: can it be run locally, are there tests, how tangled are the dependencies, what does the commit history reveal about how the team works. The output is a short honest report with a maintainability rating, the three risks that matter most, and a rough estimate of what fixing them would take.
