§ SOL · 07For founders whose developer went quiet

Ghosted by your developer?
We finish the job.

A senior team takes over stalled and abandoned projects. First we find out exactly where your code stands. Then you approve every task and its cost before we build, with a receipt every Friday.

§ 01 — Sound familiar?

It feels like starting over.
It rarely is.

You paid for progress and got silence. Deadlines slide, the invoices don't, and you're no longer sure what state the code is in, or whether you can even get to it. Most of the work you paid for can usually be saved. The first job is finding out exactly what you have.

  • 01Your developer or agency stopped replying, and deadlines keep passing!
  • 02It was delivered, but it breaks as soon as real users touch it!
  • 03Progress slowed to a crawl while the costs kept climbing!
  • 04You're not sure you own the code, the hosting or the domain!

What happens first.

✓ACCESS

Your keys back.

We check who controls your code, hosting, domain and app store accounts, and get anything in someone else's name moved to yours.

✓THE TRUTH

An honest state of play.

What works, what's missing against what you were promised, and how healthy the code is, written down in plain English.

✓BEFORE ANY WORK

A plan you approve.

Rescue or rebuild, with every task and its cost listed. Nothing starts until you say yes.

TODAY · BEFORE · ANYTHING · ELSE

Do these five things today.

Whoever you hire next, this protects you. It takes about an hour.

✓Check your domain is registered to your company, with an email you control
✓Check you own the hosting account and the billing is on your card
✓Make sure you're an owner of the GitHub or GitLab organization, not just a member
✓List which services (Stripe, email, app stores) are in your name and which are in theirs
✓Write down the timeline: what was promised, what you paid, when they last replied

§ 03 — FAQ

Straight answers.

Q.01

We don't have access to the code. Can you still help?

Usually, yes. We start with what you do have: the contract, invoices, emails and the live app. Then we work out the quickest way to get the code and every account into your company's name.
