Build on What You Already Have
Any existing project, from a half-built MVP to a system in production. We onboard it first: documentation written from the code, gap analysis, testing, and the questions that need answering. New work then starts from a plan, not a guess.
Who This Is For
You are in production
Real users, real data, and a backlog of features you need built without breaking what works
You have a partial build
Freelancer-built, no-code, AI-generated or inherited, and you need it finished properly
Your documentation is missing
The code is the only record of how the system works, and the people who wrote it have moved on
How Onboarding Works
Onboarding is the Spec Sprint for code that already exists. It produces the documentation and the plan we need before we take on new tasks in your repository.
Repository Access
We work in your repository from day one. Nothing is moved or copied out of it.
Documentation From the Code
Architecture, data model, features and flows written down as they actually are, not as they were meant to be.
Gap Analysis
Where the code, the documentation and your intent disagree, and what is missing between them.
Testing
What is covered, what is not, and a test gate installed so new work cannot regress what exists.
Questions and Decisions
The inconsistencies we find become questions for you. Your answers become part of the specification.
Plan and Quote
The work you want done, itemised in build order and quoted at a fixed price before you commit.
What Onboarding Delivers
What Onboarding Costs
Onboarding is priced from what you share with us: the size and state of the repository, what documentation already exists, and the scope of work you want done afterwards. We quote it before you commit, usually within a working day of seeing the materials.
The build that follows is fixed-price from the backlog onboarding produces, exactly as it is after a Spec Sprint.
Perfect For
Product Teams in Production
Add features to a live system with documentation and a test gate in place first.
Startup CTOs
Get a written record of what you actually have, and a plan you can hold us to.
Agencies
Take over a client project without inheriting its unknowns.
