Login fails, task creation is unreliable, and the founder cannot show the product.
Recover a stuck app before it burns more budget.
A structured rescue sprint for a fictional unfinished SaaS product: audit, triage, stabilize core flows, verify deployment, document handoff, and turn chaos into a controlled repair plan.
A broken app keeps charging interest every week it stays unclear.
No one knows whether the issue is auth, API, database, frontend state, or deployment.
No env checklist, no deployment steps, no known issues list, no recovery roadmap.
Do not “just fix bugs.” Create control first.
App rescue starts with a fixed-scope audit, then prioritizes repair around the flows that block launch: auth, data, mobile layout, task creation, API errors, deployment, documentation, and handoff.
The rescue is not finished until the next person can run it.
Start with a fixed-scope audit before committing to repair.
The first milestone reduces risk: identify real blockers, repair order, deployment status, known issues, and whether the project is worth rescuing.
24h fixed-scope technical audit.
2-7 days depending on severity, dependencies, access, and deployment risk.
QA checklist, deployment notes, known issues, and next-step roadmap.
Fixed core package. Larger integrations, production hardening, billing, auth, custom APIs, multi-tenant systems, or advanced deployment are priced as separate expansion milestones after scope review.
Got a stuck app? Start with clarity, not a blank check.
Send the current state. The first paid step would be a fixed-scope rescue audit so you can see risks, blockers, and repair order before a sprint.
