Things people ask.
Don't see yours? Ask away.
Most of our retainers start there. We come in mid-stream, audit the codebase, fix what's blocking the launch, and ship from where you are — no rewrites for the sake of rewrites. If a rewrite is genuinely the cheaper path, we'll tell you. If it isn't, we won't.
