Code and
architecture audit
An independent review of an existing codebase — including products assembled with AI — that says plainly what is safe to scale, what has to be rebuilt, and what each option costs.
What we check
Six areas. Every finding is ranked by what it will actually cost you, not by how unusual it looks.
Architecture
Structure, boundaries, and the data model — whether the system survives the next ten features or fights every one of them.
Code quality
Readability, duplication, dead code, and test coverage: how expensive the codebase is to change, in hours per feature.
AI-generated code
The patterns models leave behind — invented dependencies, logic copied in without context, silent error handling, and tests that assert nothing.
Security
Missing authorization checks, secrets committed to the repository, outdated dependencies, and how personal data is stored and deleted.
Performance and cost
Slow queries, N+1 problems, absent indexes and caching, and the infrastructure bill they quietly produce.
Release readiness
Environments, CI/CD, monitoring, and backups — whether the team can release on a Friday and still sleep.
How the audit runs
A fixed scope with a written result, not open-ended consulting.
Access and context
We take the repository, the infrastructure, and your plans for the next year. The code is judged against where you are going, not against an abstract ideal.
Review
Manual reading of the critical paths, supported by static analysis, dependency checks, and measurements on the running system.
Report and call
A written report with findings ranked by severity, an effort estimate for each, and a call where we walk your team through it and answer questions.
Stacks we audit
If your product runs on something else, ask — we will say honestly whether we can review it.
Questions people ask
What does a code audit include?
A review of architecture, code quality and dependencies, security and performance checks, test coverage and deployment processes. The output is a prioritised list of problems with effort estimates, not an abstract "the code is bad".
When do you need a code audit?
Before acquiring a product or a company, when changing contractors, when development has slowed noticeably for no visible reason, or when you need to know whether the system will survive scaling.
How long does an audit take?
It depends on codebase size and depth. A quick health check takes days; a full review with security and load testing takes longer.
What do we get at the end?
A report splitting findings into critical, important and nice-to-have, with a cost estimate for fixing each. That lets you decide what to fix now and what can wait.
Do we have to give access to the code?
Yes — an audit is impossible without repository access. We work under NDA, and access can be read-only and revoked when the audit is done.
Not sure what
you are sitting on?
Send us the repository — we will scope the audit and tell you what it covers before you commit to anything.
