Is the audit fee credited if we go ahead?

Yes, once. If you sign a build, a Fix Sprint, a software project or a retainer with a 3-month minimum within 60 days of the day we deliver the report, the full audit fee is credited against it.

Do you need access to our store or systems?

Usually read-only or collaborator access to your store, analytics and code, as listed in the proposal. You grant it, you can revoke it at any time, and we never ask you to share a password.

Is the system ready for the next year?

Field data (real visitors) is used wherever it exists. Lab tests vary from run to run, so we use them to find causes, not to score.

Sample report. The store and the figures are illustrative; yours is written from your own data.

What we review

Systems that worked at one scale often carry hidden assumptions that make the next scale painful: tight coupling between services, no clear data ownership, a delivery pipeline that cannot support the team’s growth. This review maps the current architecture against what the business needs over the next twelve months and tells you where the friction will appear first.

System boundaries
Service boundaries and coupling patterns
Data flows
Data ownership and consistency guarantees
Failure modes
Identified failure modes and their blast radius
Scalability limits
The bottleneck that will limit the next growth step
Delivery pipeline
CI/CD pipeline speed and reliability against team size
