Health Check.
A focused review of one SaaS application and its supporting systems. Understand the material risks, the architectural constraints, and the work worth prioritizing before committing more time or budget.

IS THIS THE RIGHT FIT?
Know what needs attention.
- Founders who need an independent view of the software their business depends on.
- SaaS teams preparing for growth, enterprise customers, or a significant new investment in development.
- Leaders inheriting a platform with limited documentation or an unclear technical backlog.
SITUATIONS I CAN HELP WITH01 02 03
Performance, deployments, access controls, or recovery arrangements raise questions you cannot confidently answer.
You need a useful baseline before planning improvements, changing vendors, or expanding the product.
WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH
Findings you can act on.
An executive summary, evidence-based findings, and a practical 90-day roadmap organized into Now, Next, and Later.
Architecture and application
Review the application structure, important dependencies, system boundaries, and technical debt within the agreed scope.
Infrastructure and data
Examine the available cloud configuration, database design, performance evidence, monitoring, backups, and recovery approach.
Security and engineering process
Review selected access controls, logging, vulnerability handling, deployment practices, and software development controls.
Findings with context
Receive an executive summary and documented findings rated Critical, High, Medium, or Low, where applicable, with impact, evidence, and review limitations.
A roadmap and debrief
Work through prioritized recommendations, architecture observations, and a practical 90-day plan in a review session. See what belongs in Now, Next, and Later.
THE ENGAGEMENTA clear process.
01 02 03
A clear process.
Shared expectations.
Define the review
Agree on one application, the questions that matter, the evidence available, and the access needed. Confirm the fixed scope before starting.
Assess the evidence
Review the agreed systems, documentation, and engineering practices. Distinguish confirmed findings from gaps that need further investigation.
Make the next work clear
Deliver the findings and roadmap, discuss the tradeoffs, and identify the most useful next actions with your team.
SCOPE & BOUNDARIESKnow what
Know what
you’re engaging.
This is a scoped technical assessment, not a comprehensive code audit, penetration test, compliance certification, or guarantee that every issue will be found. Remediation and ongoing implementation are separate engagements. Conclusions reflect the evidence and access available during the review.
Does the Health Check take 90 days?
The 90 days describe the improvement roadmap, not the assessment duration. We agree a delivery date before work starts, after confirming the systems, access, and people available. The schedule begins once the agreed inputs are ready.
What does the fixed fee cover?
One application within a review scope we agree together, a written findings report, a prioritized 90-day roadmap, and a debrief session. We confirm review depth and supporting systems before work starts so the boundaries are clear.
Will you need production access?
Access depends on the questions we agree to investigate. Read-only access, architecture documentation, configuration exports, or a guided walkthrough may be appropriate. Any access limitations will be reflected in the findings.
Can our existing team implement the recommendations?
Yes. The report is intended to help your team or development partner understand the priority, rationale, and recommended action. Any implementation support from me is scoped separately.
Is this a security audit?
Security is one part of the technical review. It does not replace a specialist penetration test, formal audit, or certification process. The report will state what was reviewed and where further assessment may be needed.
WORKING TOGETHER
A defined assessment, with a clear finish.
The fixed fee buys an agreed review and a written decision tool. It is scoped around one application; the supporting systems and depth are named in the proposal.
Inputs before the review starts
An application overview, the questions you need answered, a system walkthrough, and the agreed evidence or read-only access. A team member should be available to explain important workflows and constraints.
A delivery date agreed up front
Confirm the assessment schedule once the scope and inputs are known. The 90-day roadmap describes the work recommended after the assessment; it is not the time taken to conduct the review.
Depth matched to the decision
The review may inspect selected code paths, configurations, dependencies, performance evidence, deployment practices, and recovery arrangements. The report states what was examined, what was unavailable, and which questions need further investigation.
A report, roadmap, and debrief
Receive an executive summary, prioritized findings with evidence and recommended actions, architecture observations, and a Now / Next / Later roadmap. Discuss the handoff with the people who will own the next work.
