Technical Architecture Audit & Strategy

A deep-dive assessment of legacy PHP, Node, or Python stacks. We identify bottlenecks, assess TDD readiness and recommend next steps, and provide a stabilisation plan for rapid scaling.

Our audit follows five phases from kick-off to handover. Each phase has clear inputs, outputs, and ownership so you know what to expect.

Process overview

  1. Kick-off – Confirm scope, access (repos, staging, docs), and key contacts.
  2. Discovery – Codebase review, dependency audit, test and CI inspection, deployment review.
  3. Draft – Populate the report template (manual or tool-assisted), validate findings with you.
  4. Stabilisation plan – Prioritise actions, agree phasing and ownership.
  5. Handover – Final report (PDF), optional follow-up (TDD adoption, implementation support).

What we deliver

  • Audit report with executive summary, stack overview, architecture and bottlenecks, test coverage, and risks.
  • Stabilisation plan with prioritised actions and phasing.
  • Recommendations and next steps with clear ownership.

What we need from you

  • Access to repos (read-only where appropriate), staging, and any relevant docs.
  • Context: stack, pain points, goals, and timeline (we can capture this via a short form or call).
  • Feedback on the draft so we can align the stabilisation plan with your capacity.
