Is Technical Debt Killing Your Productivity?
Every shortcut compounds. We help you assess, prioritize, and systematically pay down technical debt without derailing your roadmap.
Signs your technical debt is out of control
“Companies spend 30-40% of their development time dealing with technical debt.”- McKinsey Digital
Our Approach to Technical Debt
We treat technical debt like financial debt. You need to understand what you owe before you can pay it down strategically.
Debt Inventory
Comprehensive audit of your codebase to identify and categorize all technical debt.
Impact Analysis
Which debt is costing you the most? We prioritize based on business impact, not just technical severity.
Paydown Strategy
A realistic plan that fits into your existing roadmap. Quick wins first, then systematic reduction.
Prevention Framework
Practices and guardrails to prevent new debt from accumulating.
We had engineers afraid to touch certain parts of the codebase. Six weeks in, things just... worked. The team actually wants to ship features now.
Common Questions
Everything you need to know before moving forward.
How do you prioritize which debt to pay down first?+
We use a business-impact framework. Debt that affects revenue, customer experience, or developer velocity gets priority over "ugly but working" code.
Can we pay down debt without stopping feature work?+
Absolutely. In fact, that's our default approach. We integrate debt paydown into your sprint cycle so you make continuous progress without halting the roadmap.
How do we prevent new debt from accumulating?+
We establish lightweight guardrails: code review standards, automated quality checks, and architecture decision records. Prevention is easier than remediation.
What if we just rebuild from scratch?+
Sometimes that's the right call. But it's rarely necessary. We'll give you an honest assessment of whether refactoring or rebuilding makes more sense for your situation.
