Onboarding · First two weeks

The first two weeks. No assumptions, no surprises.

Before we touch a line of code, we understand what you have, what it's costing you, and what's worth fixing first. By the end of week two, you have a clear picture of where things stand and a roadmap you can act on.

Day 1

Kickoff

A direct conversation with the senior partner who'll be working on your product. No account manager, no relays.

  • Shared goals, known constraints, and what success looks like over the next six months.
  • Access handover — repositories, Bubble app, third-party tools, and the humans who matter.
  • A single shared workspace for decisions, documentation, and open questions from here on.
Week 1

Structured audit

A thorough review of the app, the architecture, the integrations, and how the product is actually being used.

  • Architecture review — data model, workflows, privacy rules, and any fragility creating cascading breakage.
  • Performance and security profiling — pinpointing the few issues that genuinely matter versus the many that only look it.
  • Interviews with your operators to understand where the product helps the business and where it holds it back.
Week 2

Roadmap & priorities

Findings written up, priorities ranked, and a roadmap that front-loads the highest-impact work.

  • A product health report covering the state of the architecture, the backlog, and the risks worth knowing about.
  • A prioritised roadmap — what we fix first, what we stabilise next, and what we defer until the foundations are right.
  • A decision log started on day one and maintained for the life of the engagement.
What you walk away with

A clear picture, not a pitch deck.

Everything is documented, shared, and yours to keep — whether you decide to continue or not.

  • Product health report with honest, specific findings — not a generic checklist.
  • Prioritised backlog with reasoning attached to every item.
  • Architecture map of the system as it stands today.
  • Decision log, started now and maintained through every subsequent change.
  • A clear agreement on how we communicate, how often, and through which channels.
Next step

Two weeks in, you know where you stand. Then we decide what's next.

If what comes out of the audit makes sense to act on, we continue. If not, you keep everything we produced and we go our separate ways. No pressure either direction.
