Rescue the software that's holding your business back — whether it's 25 years old or 25 days old

If it's causing pain, it qualifies. We rescue software that's 25 years old (DOS, VB6, FoxPro) and software that's 25 days old (AI-generated prototype with no auth hardening). The two most common triggers: original developer left and nobody knows the code; or a Bubble / Replit / AI-built prototype that needs to become a real production SaaS before you launch to real customers.

Fixed-price after a 15-minute scoping call and a short discovery session. An AI prototype hardening (auth, observability, load testing, deploy pipeline) typically takes 4–8 weeks. A legacy desktop app rescue with rebuild (VB6, FoxPro, old custom app) takes 8–16 weeks. Enterprise legacy platforms (200+ forms, 50+ users) can take 4–10 months, delivered module-by-module. You know the price before any code is written.

Yes — this is one of the fastest-growing categories we handle. AI coding tools produce plausible-looking code that passes a demo but misses: authentication and authorisation hardening, input validation, SQL injection and XSS protection, proper secrets management, structured logging, database performance under load, and a test suite. We audit the output, document what's there and what's missing, then harden it systematically. The resulting codebase is one a human developer can maintain and extend.

Yes. Bubble and Replit are legitimate MVP tools — but they have hard ceilings on performance, security control, and vendor independence. We port the business logic into a TypeScript + Node.js or .NET codebase you own outright (no monthly no-code platform subscription), with proper CI/CD, staging environments, database migrations, and the ability to hire any developer to work on it going forward.

This is the most common rescue scenario. Our first step is always forensic: read the existing code carefully, run the system, interview the current users, document every business rule we find — including the ones nobody told us about. Only after that do we recommend what to do with it (refactor, strangler-fig replacement, or full rebuild). We've done this with VB6, FoxPro, old .NET, Classic ASP, old PHP, and custom C++ desktop apps.

Two immediate options: (1) containerise the old runtime (Docker + Windows Server container) to buy time while the proper rebuild runs — useful when you need 6–12 months to deliver the replacement; (2) go straight to rebuild if the system is small enough or the urgency is high enough. Either way, the legacy system stays live during development so the business keeps running. We've done both approaches for DOS-era apps, old FoxPro, and EOL .NET Framework apps.

Yes. VB6 (EOL since 2008) typically becomes React + Node.js or .NET 8 + Blazor. Visual FoxPro — DBF data migrated to SQL Server or PostgreSQL, FoxPro forms re-spec'd as a modern web UI, report-writer logic preserved as PDF templates. DOS-era C or BASIC apps: business logic extracted, rewritten in modern TypeScript or C#. Delphi: Pascal logic translated to TypeScript or C#, forms rebuilt in React. All with the same result: hireable stack, documented codebase, EOL runtime risk gone.

Yes. Source code, schema, deployment scripts, CI/CD config — all yours in your GitHub or Azure DevOps from day one. No ongoing per-user or per-month subscription to us. Hosting is yours. Ongoing maintenance is month-to-month, never locked-in. The code is on a modern stack any developer can work on — so you're never back in the "one developer who knows the code" trap.
