For founders whose build has stalled

Your build stalled.
Let's get it shipped.

I recover the code, stabilise it and finish it — and if a rewrite would be cheaper than a rescue, I'll tell you before you spend a cent on either.

Sound familiar?

Stalled builds look the same from the founder's side.

If two or more of these are true, a rescue is usually faster and cheaper than starting over.

“My developer went quiet.”Messages go unanswered and you're not sure you even have the latest code.
“Every fix breaks something.”No tests, no staging — each change is a gamble on the live product.
“Launch keeps slipping.”It's been “two more weeks” for three months.
“I can’t tell what’s done.”Screens look finished, but nothing works end to end.
“The numbers are off.”Balances, fees or interest don't quite add up — and in fintech that's fatal.
“The budget is burning.”You need a fixed number to finish, not another open-ended estimate.
How it works

Four steps from stuck to shipped

STEP 1 · DAY 1

Recover

Get the code, hosting, domains and keys safely into accounts you own.

STEP 2 · DAYS 2–3

Audit & verdict

Keep / fix / replace for each part, plus a fixed quote to finish.

STEP 3 · NEXT

Stabilise

Tests on the critical paths, safe deploys, monitoring that surfaces failures.

STEP 4 · THEN

Finish & ship

Weekly working demos until it's live — then launch support.

What you walk away with

A clear verdict, not another vague estimate.

After 2–3 days you know exactly what you have, what it takes to ship, and what it costs — whether or not you continue with me.

Build Rescue FAQ

Questions before we start

Yes — that's what a rescue is. The audit tells you which parts are worth keeping.

Common. Recovering access to the repo, hosting, domains and keys is the first step.

It helps but isn't required. Most rescues start without them.

Yes — see Prototype Hardening. The audit works the same way.

You'll hear it in the Build Plan, with a quote for the rewrite — before any more money is spent.
