Legacy Codebase & Technical Debt Assessment

Comprehensive static and dynamic codebase diagnostics evaluating maintainability, security vulnerabilities, hidden regressions, and upgrade pathways.

Legacy Codebase & Technical Debt Assessment

Engagement Summary

  • Duration: 3 to 4 weeks
  • Delivery Mode: Comprehensive technical audit with written deliverable and executive presentation
  • Location: Remote codebase review with on-site presentation in Sanchong / New Taipei City
  • Investment Basis: Fixed-fee assessment (NT$ 180,000 - NT$ 320,000 depending on lines of code)

Target Audience & Outcome

Primary Audience: CTOs, Technical Directors, and private equity auditors assessing software asset viability.

Concrete Outcome: A quantified health index, prioritized technical debt backlog, and actionable remediation roadmap with effort estimations.

Key Advisory Deliverables

Every engagement yields tangible, engineer-ready documentation and architectural specifications:

  • Code quality and cyclomatic complexity heatmap report
  • Outdated dependency and end-of-life framework risk matrix
  • Prioritized remediation backlog ranked by business impact vs engineering effort
  • Interactive 90-minute findings presentation with engineering stakeholders

Scope Boundaries

Included in Advisory

  • Static code analysis, code smell detection, and test coverage evaluation
  • Database query profiling and transaction concurrency review
  • Documentation adequacy and developer onboarding friction assessment

Explicitly Excluded

  • Direct modification of production code repositories during the audit

Advisory Execution Methodology

Our structured roadmap ensures orderly progression from initial code telemetry to validated architectural boundaries:

1

Discovery & Ingestion

Secure ingestion of codebase repositories and review of architectural diagrams.

2

Deep Inspection

Automated metrics gathering paired with line-by-line inspection of critical modules.

3

Synthesis & Scoring

Synthesizing debt metrics into business risk categories with remediation estimates.

Preparation Required From Client Team

Read-only access to repository branches and sample test environments.
