What you receive
A written reference documenting system purpose, architecture, key dependencies, integration points, and risk findings — delivered as a structured engineering brief.
Redline documents the systems nobody can fully explain anymore — read-only, no production access required — so institutional knowledge survives turnover, acquisitions, and developer departures. Software rescue begins with documentation.
For businesses inheriting a system — built or modified with no record of how it works — we deliver a structured reference covering system purpose, architecture, key dependencies, and findings. We do not touch the live system.
A written reference documenting system purpose, architecture, key dependencies, integration points, and risk findings — delivered as a structured engineering brief.
Operators inheriting an undocumented system: acquisitions, post-departure handovers, or any team running production code with no map of how it works.
Strictly read-only. No production access required, nothing gets changed, no migration risk. We document — we do not modify.
Small system, few integrations.
Large system, few integrations.
Small system, many integrations.
$300–$500 discovery phase, credited toward the final fee. Quote follows.
Pricing reflects the size of your system and how many places it connects to others — not hours billed. Every engagement is flat-fee, quoted before work begins.
Structured context produces structured solutions. Provide the technical detail below and our on-call principal engineer will return a written triage assessment within one business day.
