Core engagement

AI Project Recovery & Realignment

Stalled AI builds, vibe-coded platforms, and production failures made maintainable again — with architecture, delivery, and ownership restored to a baseline your engineers can run without permanent external dependency.

Who this is for

  • Leadership stuck with an AI-assisted codebase that will not ship reliably or stay stable under change.
  • Product and engineering leads who inherited a greenfield rewrite that drifted from the business case.
  • Founders who need an honest technical assessment before writing off the investment or doubling down on the same approach.

The problem we solve

AI-accelerated delivery often produces systems that look complete in demos but fail under real ownership: unclear service boundaries, missing tests, brittle integrations, secrets and configuration that only the original author understands, and no path to production reliability. Teams then face a false binary — abandon the work or pour more spend into the same approach. Recovery is the third path: stabilise what exists, realign it to real needs, and leave a maintainable baseline with clear ownership.

What we deliver

Stabilise first

Identify what is production-critical, what can wait, and what must be retired so the team is not fighting every fire at once. Contain risk before ambitious redesign.

Architecture realignment

Re-bound services, data ownership, and integration seams so the system matches the business domain rather than the prompt history that built it.

Delivery recovery

Restore a predictable path to ship: continuous integration, environments, observability, and a definition of done that holds under real traffic.

Ownership handback

Document decisions, risks, and runbooks so your engineers — not a permanent external dependency — can own the platform after we leave.

Outcomes

  • A clear technical assessment of what is salvageable, what to rewrite carefully, and what to drop.
  • A production-ready baseline with tests, observability, and deployment discipline appropriate to the risk.
  • A sequenced roadmap your team can execute without another cycle of silent architectural drift.

How we work

We start with a free technical conversation, then a bounded recovery engagement: assess, stabilise, realign, hand back. No sales theatre — an engineering read of the code, architecture, and delivery system as they actually are.
