Reviews and assessments
Start with evidence, not a commitment
Four fixed-scope pieces of work for the moment before a larger decision. Each has its scope and cost agreed before we start, and ends with a written report you can act on – with us or with someone else.
Ecommerce technical review
An independent view of the platform you have
For a platform that works but feels slow, fragile or expensive to change – or before you commit budget to its next phase.
We look at
- Code quality and customisations
- Apps, plugins and extensions
- Hosting, performance and caching
- Security and update status
- Integrations and scheduled jobs
You get
- What’s sound and what’s fragile
- Risks ranked by commercial impact
- Quick wins, separated from larger work
- An outline of effort for each recommendation
Integration review
Where data should flow, and where it breaks
For businesses re-keying orders, reconciling stock by hand or living with an integration nobody trusts.
We look at
- Every system that touches an order, product, price or customer
- Which system owns which data
- Existing connectors, their logs and their failures
- API capabilities and limits on each side
You get
- A map of current and intended data flows
- The causes of today’s failures
- Build, buy or fix recommendations per connection
- An outline of effort and sequence
Rescue assessment
For a platform in trouble
For a failed project, an abandoned platform or a store that is losing orders. Faster and narrower than a technical review: the aim is to stop the damage and see clearly.
We look at
- Access and ownership: domains, hosting, code, accounts
- What is failing now, and since when
- Backups and the ability to roll back
- Obvious security exposure
You get
- Access secured and backups taken
- The first fixes, in order
- A frank view on keep, repair or replace
- A plan for stabilisation
Replatforming review
Whether to move, where to, and what it really involves
For businesses considering a new platform. The review tests both routes – fixing the current platform and moving – and recommends one.
We look at
- The problems behind the wish to move
- Which are fixable where you are
- Candidate platforms against your actual requirements
- Data, URLs, accounts, integrations and apps to carry across
You get
- A recommendation: fix, move, or fix now and move later
- The migration scope if moving is right
- Risks and how to reduce them
- An outline of effort and timing
