What this service delivers
Before you hire a team, buy a company or approve a rewrite, it is worth knowing the true state of the code. A senior engineer spends half a day inside your repository. Can it be run locally? What share is tested? How tangled are its dependencies, and what do the commits say about team habits? The result is a short, readable report with a maintainability rating, the three biggest risks and a rough estimate of the effort needed to address them.
