Technical Audit & Refactoring Roadmap
A structured technical assessment of your existing software system designed to identify technical risks, performance bottlenecks, and architectural limitations — and provide a clear, business-aligned refactoring roadmap.
Price range
€2,500 – €8,000
Service Overview
This service helps teams understand the real technical state of their system before making further development, scaling, or refactoring decisions. Instead of guessing where problems are — or rewriting everything from scratch — you get a clear, structured view of what matters most, why it matters for the business, and how to improve the system safely.
How This Service Works
Overview
This service provides a structured, business-focused assessment of your existing software system.
The goal is to identify technical risks, performance bottlenecks, and architectural limitations — and translate them into a clear, prioritised refactoring roadmap.
It is designed for live production systems where stability, predictability, and business continuity are critical.
This audit is designed for teams that already have a working system but lack clarity about its technical health.
It is most relevant for:
- teams operating live production systems
- organisations with growing technical debt
- products experiencing performance or stability issues
- decision-makers who need technical clarity before scaling or major changes
After completing the audit, you receive practical outputs that can be acted on immediately.
Deliverables include:
- documented audit findings
- a prioritised refactoring roadmap
- identification of high-risk and high-impact areas
- performance and scalability observations
- clear recommendations for next steps
We approach refactoring as a controlled engineering process — not a disruptive technical overhaul.
The audit is non-intrusive and does not affect production systems.
All findings and recommendations are based on business priorities, risk assessment, and measurable impact — not theoretical best practices or cosmetic improvements.
After the audit is complete, you decide how to proceed.
You can:
- implement the roadmap with your internal team
- continue with us for refactoring and stabilisation
- use the findings to support internal planning or stakeholder discussions
There is no obligation to continue beyond the audit.
Common Challenges Before the Audit
Before starting an audit, teams often face similar issues:
- unpredictable releases and frequent regressions
- slow response times or performance degradation
- fear of touching critical or poorly understood parts of the system
- unclear or outdated architecture
- increasing maintenance effort and developer frustration
What Changes After the Audit
After completing the audit, teams gain clarity and confidence.
You receive:
- a clear understanding of technical risks and bottlenecks
- prioritised recommendations based on business impact
- a structured refactoring roadmap
- guidance on safe next steps for system improvement
How the Audit Process Works
Our audit process is structured, transparent, and production-safe.
1. Initial diagnostics
High-level review of system context, business goals, and technical constraints.
2. Code and architecture review
Analysis of codebase structure, dependencies, and system design.
3. Risk and impact assessment
Identification of technical debt, bottlenecks, and areas of highest risk.
4. Refactoring roadmap
A clear, prioritised plan for safe and incremental improvements.
Engagement Model & Pricing Notes
This is not a fixed-scope product. Final pricing depends on system size, complexity, and scope of analysis.
All engagements start with an initial discussion to understand your system and expectations.Typical engagements fall within the price range shown above.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. The audit is non-intrusive and does not affect live operations.
Most audits take between 1 and 3 weeks, depending on system size and access.
Yes, if requested. The roadmap can also be implemented by your internal team.
You decide the next steps. There is no obligation to continue beyond the audit.
