Knowledge & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions About Software Rescue
Basics & Diagnosis
When is a project really in trouble?
Typical signs: missed deadlines, budget explosions, declining code quality, team frustration, or when the original provider has given up. If you have doubts whether your project is still salvageable – it usually is.
How quickly can you assess our situation?
An initial assessment usually takes 2-5 days. We review code, architecture, documentation, and processes – then you get a clear picture of what is salvageable and what a rescue costs.
Project in trouble?
We do a free initial assessment and show you options.

Process & Approach
How does a software rescue proceed?
Step 1: Emergency analysis (2-5 days). Step 2: Stabilization of the most critical issues. Step 3: Systematic rehabilitation with prioritized measures. Step 4: Handover or continued support.
Do you take over projects from other providers?
Yes, that is one of our core competencies. We take over code, documentation, and responsibility – even if the previous provider left suddenly or the handover was chaotic.
Questions about the rescue process?
We explain our approach in a non-binding meeting.

Costs & Timeline
What does a software rescue cost?
Depends heavily on the initial situation. An analysis starts at €3,000, full rescues range from €15,000 to several hundred thousand € for complex projects. After analysis, you receive a transparent cost estimate.
How long does a rescue take?
Critical stabilization often within days. Complete rehabilitation typically takes 2-6 months, depending on size and complexity. We work in phases and deliver visible results early.
Technical Measures
What if the code is really bad?
We've seen a lot. Sometimes a stepwise refactoring is enough, sometimes a partial rewrite makes sense. We advise honestly what's worth saving and what should better be rebuilt.
Do you also modernize outdated technologies?
Yes, often a rescue includes technology modernization. From PHP5 to modern versions, from jQuery to React, from monolith to microservices – we bring systems up to date.
Have a project in distress?
We take on hopeless cases and get them back on track.
