Practice / 01

The forensic audit.

A rigorous, 14-day architectural assessment to expose hidden technical debt, validate structural integrity, and provide a definitive blueprint for scalable recovery.

Timeline

14 Days

Investment

50–80k SEK

Outcome

Definitive clarity.

What we look for.

The audit is not a checklist. It is the reading of a system. Patterns repeat across AI-assisted codebases — we name them, locate them, and quantify their cost.

01

Hallucinated logic

Code paths that look correct but encode misunderstood requirements, ghost dependencies, or APIs that were never specified.

02

Boundary erosion

Domains bleeding into one another. Modules that quietly took on responsibilities they were never designed to hold.

03

Silent fragility

Error handling that swallows failure. Tests that pass without exercising the critical path. Telemetry that reports health while the system degrades.

04

Undocumented decisions

Architectural choices preserved nowhere but in the heads of departed engineers — the kind of debt no static analyzer can surface.

Deliverables.

01

Forensic Report

A detailed, unvarnished analysis of the current codebase state, architectural flaws, and hidden liabilities.

02

Risk Register

Prioritized matrix of critical vulnerabilities spanning security, scalability, and operational continuity.

03

Remediation Blueprint

Actionable, phased architectural recommendations designed to resolve foundational issues without stalling feature development.

Why fixed scope.

Open-ended consulting engagements reward depth of billing, not depth of insight. The 14-day boundary forces a different discipline: we read the system that is in front of us, write down what we find, and leave the client with something they can act on without us.

The price is fixed because the work is bounded. No procurement cycle, no statement-of-work negotiation, no surprises. If the engagement leads to a longer relationship, it begins from a shared map — not from a sales conversation.

Parameters.

Do you require full codebase access?

Yes. The forensic audit demands unrestricted access to repositories, infrastructure configurations, and existing technical documentation.

Is the timeline strictly 14 days?

Yes. We deliver the final report and blueprint exactly 14 calendar days from the moment access is granted.

What determines the price variance (50–80k)?

The final cost reflects engineering footprint: repositories, microservices, and structural complexity. A firm quote within 24 hours of contact.
