Legacy Codebase & Technical Debt Assessment
Comprehensive static and dynamic codebase diagnostics evaluating maintainability, security vulnerabilities, hidden regressions, and upgrade pathways.
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- Outdated dependency and end-of-life framework risk matrix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
