Paid discovery · £1,950 fixed

Rescue Roadmap

The Rescue Roadmap is a fixed-fee discovery engagement at £1,950. We audit your code and data, compare your migration options honestly, and hand you a fixed-price proposal you can take to the board. The fee is credited against the build if you proceed.

The deliverables

What you get

01_

Code and data audit

What the system actually does today, not what its manual says. Tables, records, screens and integrations mapped.

02_

Options compared

Rewrite, refactor, replace or stay, with the honest trade-offs of each. No option is off the table, including doing nothing.

03_

Fixed-price proposal

A number and a timeline range you can plan around. No open-ended day rates, no surprises at invoice time.

04_

Risk register

The things most likely to bite during a migration, and how the parallel run keeps each one away from your trading day.

The method

How the Roadmap runs

  1. Access

    We work from a read-only copy of your code and data. The live system is not touched.

  2. Analysis

    Every table, screen and report mapped against what your business actually uses.

  3. Report

    A written plan a board can read: options, price, timeline range, risks.

  4. Decision

    Proceed and the £1,950 comes off the build. Or keep the plan. It is yours.
Questions

Asked before every Roadmap

Why is discovery paid?
Because it is real work: reading code, profiling data, pricing risk. Paying for it gets you an engineer’s full attention and a plan worth taking to the board, not a salesman’s estimate.
What if we decide not to go ahead?
The plan is yours either way. Some businesses use it to brief another supplier, their insurer or their board. There is no obligation to build with us.
Is the fee really credited against the build?
Yes. If you proceed, the £1,950 comes straight off the fixed price of the migration.
Do you need access to our live system?
No. The audit works from a read-only copy of the code and data. Nothing in the live system is changed.
