Why now

These apps keep running until the day they don't.

Usually that's the day the person who built them is gone, or the platform under them changes.

Nobody can change it

The developer retired, the code is undocumented, and every fix is a gamble with live data.

The platform is ageing out

Support deadlines for the tools these apps depend on are arriving now.

Hidden defects cost money

In our sample X-ray, warranty tags printed the wrong claim and every price was stored as a 32-bit float. See the sample.

How it works

Three steps. Stop after any of them.

Each step leaves you with something you keep, whether or not you go on.

For IT providers

A safe partner for the app you can't fix.

Most of these apps reach us through the company that runs a client's IT.

We never take your client

We don't sell IT services. We work white-label or co-branded, whichever you prefer.

15% referral

Paid on every job you send us, including the diagnostic.

Overflow capacity

Already sell migrations? Hand us the ones you don't want to staff, at a fixed price.

Your data

Careful with what you send us.

An app copy often contains customer records. This is how we handle it.

Isolated machineYour app runs only in an isolated virtual machine, never on a shared system.

Anonymised firstPersonal data can be replaced before analysis, and we test that nothing identifying survives.

AI-assisted, openlyWe use AI tools for analysis. If your data must not leave your premises, tell us and we'll plan around it.

NDA on requestSigned before you send anything, if you want one.

We'll only use these details to reply about your request.
