System structure
Application boundaries, key dependencies, data flows, integration design and whether the current architecture supports the product's next stage.
INDEPENDENT REVIEW / ENGINEERING CLARITY
Know what you have.
Know what to fix.
An independent technical audit for founders and teams who need an honest view of an existing product before they invest more time and money. I review the system, explain the risks in business terms and give you a prioritised plan you can act on.
FIXED-SCOPE STARTING POINT / EX VAT
Technical audit
from £1,250.
A defined review of one application, one primary codebase and one deployment environment. Larger or multi-service systems are scoped separately at a fixed price.
Starting price£1,250 + VAT
Typical turnaround5 working days
Access modelRead-only
Final outputReport + walkthrough
Final scope and fee are agreed before work starts. The turnaround begins once the agreed access and project context are available.

Six areas.
One connected picture.
The review is shaped around the decision you need to make: continue building, stabilise, scale, change supplier, or decide whether to refactor or replace.
Maintainability
Critical paths, complexity, error handling, duplication, configuration and the practical cost of changing the system.
Access and exposure
Authentication and authorisation patterns, secret handling, tenant boundaries, dependency exposure and common application-level risks. This is not a penetration test.
Persistence and scale
Data model, query patterns, migrations, indexing signals, consistency risks and obvious performance bottlenecks.
Confidence to ship
Test coverage and quality signals, CI checks, build and deployment process, rollback approach and operational visibility.
Long-term ownership
Outdated or risky dependencies, third-party service reliance, licensing signals and avoidable infrastructure complexity.
WHAT YOU RECEIVE
A report you can
put to work.
No vague scorecard or generic checklist. Findings are tied to evidence in the system, ranked by impact and written so both technical and non-technical stakeholders can use them.

A GOOD TIME TO COMMISSION ONE
Before the next
expensive decision.
Inherited code
You have taken over a product, supplier relationship or codebase and need to understand what is safe to change.
Before a major build
You are about to commit budget to a rebuild, new feature set or platform migration and want the assumptions challenged first.
Reliability or security concerns
The product works, but incidents, fragile releases, access-control questions or growing technical debt are making progress risky.
AI-built or rapidly assembled software
You need a senior engineer to review what has been generated or assembled before real customers and sensitive data depend on it.
INDEPENDENT BY DESIGN
You own the report.
You choose what happens next.
The audit is useful even if you take the findings to another team. There is no obligation to commission remediation from AGENTBOT. If you do want help, I can quote the priority fixes as a separate, clearly scoped engagement.
Access is read-only by default. I do not need production credentials or live customer data for a standard codebase review. An NDA can be agreed where required.
SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS
This is an engineering assessment, not a formal penetration test, legal or regulatory certification, compliance attestation, full load test or guarantee that every defect will be found. Any specialist testing or access beyond the agreed scope is quoted separately. Findings describe the evidence available during the review.

What do you need to know about your software?
Send a short brief. I'll confirm whether the standard audit fits, what access is needed and the fixed scope before anything is booked.
