Software
Rescue and finish
For software someone started and didn't finish: an honest assessment, then the work to finish it.
builds usually $3,000 to $9,000
About this service
What you get
Software that works in real use, from something that stalled, was abandoned, or was built quickly with AI and never quite worked.
How it goes
It starts with an assessment: a written report on the state the software is in, whether finishing it or starting over is the better bet, and a fixed price to finish it. If we aren't the right people for it, we say so, and who might be. If you go ahead, we finish it in parts, each ending with something working, and hand it over.
Who it's for
Organizations with software someone started and didn't finish: a contractor who left, a volunteer who moved on, or a project that ran out of money partway.
What it doesn't cover
A promise before we've looked. Until the assessment, nobody can honestly say what finishing will take.

Builds
What a build usually costs
A build has one fixed price. It covers the whole build. The work is delivered in parts, each ending with something working you can use, and you can stop after any of them.

- Finishing an app someone else started$3,000 to $9,000
Ranges, not quotes. The assessment gives you the exact number before anything is built, and its fee counts toward it.
Paying
How paying works
- Half before work starts and half on handover, and each part of a build the same way. Jobs under $1,000 are paid in full up front.
- The fee for a diagnostic, an assessment or a scoping phase counts toward the build if you book it within 60 days.
- You can pay by card or bank transfer (ACH).
