ServiceApplication Audit
Application Audit & Technical Debt Assessment
Know exactly what state your codebase is in.
Know exactly where you stand. Every layer gets audited, frontend through to infrastructure, and you get a written report, clear recommendations, effort estimates, and a walkthrough with your team.
Common issues we see
You inherited a codebase and don't know what state it's really in
Development keeps slowing down and nobody can say exactly why
You're about to invest in a platform and want an objective view first
You suspect technical debt but need it quantified, not guessed at
A potential acquisition or partnership needs technical due diligence
Your team is too close to it to assess it honestly
What to expect
Every engagement runs the same way, so you know what happens next at every point.
- 1
Discovery call
Thirty minutes, free, no commitment. You tell us what you are trying to do and what is in the way. If we are not the right people for it, we say so on the call.
- 2
Scoping and access
We agree what is in scope and get read access to the codebase. Fixed scope means the price is settled here, before any work starts.
- 3
The audit
A full pass over the application: frontend, backend, architecture, security, performance and accessibility. Every finding is named and rated, not summarised away.
- 4
Report and walkthrough
A written report covering every finding and what it would take to fix, then a session with your team to go through it and answer questions.
- 5
A plan you can act on
Findings ordered by what will hurt you soonest, with an honest view of effort. You can take it to your own team or ask us to do the work.
What's included
- Frontend code quality (React/Next.js patterns, component architecture, state management)
- Backend review (API design, data fetching, query performance, security)
- Architecture assessment (scalability, coupling, technical risk)
- Performance analysis (bundle size, rendering, Core Web Vitals, server response)
- Security review (dependencies, input handling, auth patterns)
- Testing coverage and quality
- Accessibility audit (WCAG compliance)

Professional report plus a walkthrough with your team
Common questions
What do I actually get at the end?
A professional written report covering every layer of the application, with clear findings, prioritised recommendations, and effort estimates, plus a walkthrough where we take your team through it and answer questions. You come away knowing exactly what state your application is in and what to do about it.
Do you fix the issues or just report them?
The audit itself is assessment and reporting, so you get an objective, fixed-scope view. If you want the issues fixed afterwards, that flows naturally into a performance or remediation engagement, but there is no obligation to continue.
Can this be used for due diligence?
Yes. The audit is well suited to technical due diligence before an acquisition, investment, or partnership, giving you an independent read on the technical risk you would be taking on.
How disruptive is it to my team?
Minimal. We mainly need read access to the code and a short conversation or two for context. Your team can keep shipping while the audit runs.
