Archive Readiness Scan
Opens in stages
A bounded diagnostic that tells you what shape your archive is actually in before anything larger.
Best for: Projects where nobody can currently say what exists, what is current, or what conflicts.
- Structured inventory of supplied sources
- Complexity assessment and source grouping
- Five documented concerns
- Recommended next tier, including doing nothing
Limits: Bounded scope with a 2.5-hour internal cap. Limited to 15 scans per year while labor data is being validated.
Payment follows scope approval.

Best for: Small document-only projects willing to become a sanitized case study.
- Focused review of a bounded document set
- Claim and conflict notes
- Risk list
- Short action plan
Limits: Three external openings only, then retired or repriced. No code execution.
Payment follows scope approval.

Core Project Rescue Audit
Opens in stages
The main evidence-led diagnostic: what is documented, unsupported, contradictory, reproducible, or still unknown.
Best for: Projects where decisions have been made on an unclear record and someone needs to know what holds up.
- Executive report
- Source-of-truth map
- Claim and evidence ledger
- Contradiction register with human disposition
Limits: Bounded scope confirmed at intake. Founding pricing is limited and ends by condition, not by date.

- One defined decision question
- Evidence summary and quality assessment
- Options with assumptions and risks
- Written recommendation
Limits: One decision and one evidence set, both fixed at the start.
Payment follows scope approval.

Adds controlled execution and reproducibility review for code-heavy projects.
Best for: Projects where generated code runs inconsistently or documentation conflicts with the repositories.
- Everything in the Core Rescue Audit
- Controlled execution in an isolated environment
- Dependency and reproducibility review
- Code-status evidence
Limits: Bounded repositories and source lines, confirmed at technical intake. Unexecuted code is never described as working.
Payment follows scope approval and milestone terms.
