How much does an audit cost?
A fixed price, agreed before any work starts. I scope it on the first call once I know which product areas are causing trouble and how much of the codebase the answer has to cover. There is no hourly meter running and no invoice that grows during the engagement.
How long does an audit take?
One to two weeks, depending on how much of the codebase the answer has to cover. Shorter than that and I am guessing from file structure. Longer and the findings start describing a version of the code your team has already moved past.
What do you need from us to run it?
Read access to the repository, someone to show me around the product, and the flows your team finds most painful. Time with whoever remembers why the difficult parts ended up that way is worth more than any document.
Will the audit disrupt the team?
No. The work is reading, tracing, and measuring, not changing your code, so your team keeps shipping throughout. The time it asks for is a kickoff conversation, occasional questions, and the walkthrough at the end.
Is this a code audit or a performance audit?
Both, when the product needs it. A frontend code audit looks at architecture, state, and component boundaries. A performance audit measures rendering, loading, and interaction in the flows that matter. Most teams need some of each, and the first call decides the balance.
Should we start with an audit or go straight to an implementation sprint?
Audit first when the team disagrees about what is actually wrong. Go straight to a sprint when you already agree on the diagnosis and want the fixes built.
Why an audit rather than an agency or a full-time hire?
An audit is a diagnosis, not delivery capacity. If you already know what to build and need hands to build it, an agency or a full-time hire is the better spend.
Do you work remotely?
Yes. I work remotely across North American hours, from Toronto. An audit does not need anyone in a room, and every engagement I have run in the last few years has been remote.
