Your developer left. The product cannot. A senior team takes over and keeps shipping.
We take over the code, the hosting and the open issues, write down how it works, and keep the product running and shipping every month.
Checked every few minutes
Access and a backup first
Before anything changes, every login is in your name and a full copy of the code and data is safe.
No more single point of failure

What walks in
What founders usually tell us when they hand over, and what we do first
“The only person who knew the code has left.”
We recover access, back everything up and write down how the product works before we touch it.
Seen in: SaaS & Startups
“Every release breaks something.”
Version control, tests around the parts that earn money and a test copy (staging) before customers see a change.
Seen in: SaaS & Startups
“Nobody watches the product at night.”
Checks every few minutes, error logs a person reads and response times written into the plan.
Seen in: SaaS & Startups
“A prospect sent a security questionnaire.”
Access rules, backups, logs and key handling put in order, so the answers are honest.

“The roadmap waits while you try to hire.”
A monthly budget of engineering hours, so features keep shipping while you decide whether to hire.

What you get
Six things we take on, every month, as your engineering team
A clean takeover
We recover access to code, hosting, domains and third-party accounts, move them into your name, and write down how the product works.
Releases that do not break things
Changes go through version control, automatic tests and a test copy (staging) before they reach customers.
Watched day and night
The product is checked every few minutes, errors are logged where a person looks, and response times are written into the plan.
The roadmap keeps moving
A budget of engineering hours every month for features, done by the engineers who already know the code.
Ready for the security questionnaire
Access rules, backups, logs and key handling put in order, so the questions enterprise customers ask (often called a security questionnaire) have honest answers.
A team, not one person
Named senior engineers who share the code, so a holiday or a resignation no longer stops the product.
Who it is for
For products that already have customers
A good fit
Your product is live and needs owners.
Customers rely on it, so it needs engineers who own the code and watch it, not a freelancer for the next ticket.
- You have a live product with paying or soon-paying customers.
- You need engineers who own the code, not a freelancer for a ticket.
- You want to keep shipping without running a hiring process first.

An idea with no product yet?
There is nothing to take over yet.
Start with discovery and a fixed scope.
An AI-built app breaking under real users?
It needs a rescue before it can be run.

How a takeover runs
Access and a backup first, then the monthly routine
-
Step 01
Recover access and back up
Before anything changes, we get every login in order and take a full copy of the code and the data, somewhere safe.
-
Step 02
Read the code and write it down
Code, database, hosting and outside services, written up: what is broken, fragile and fine.
-
Step 03
Stabilise the release process
Version control, tests around the parts that earn money, a test copy, monitoring and alerts, before new features.
-
Step 04
Ship and run it every month
Features from your roadmap, fixes and monitoring, with the same engineers every month.
