The developer stopped answering, and the system keeps running: with bugs, without updates, and with access held who knows where. The switch goes in four steps: we work out what is left, take back the access, fix what is on fire and put it on support. After every step the result stays with you, even if you carry on without us.

The total depends on the size of the system, the state of the code and how much access has to be recovered: a project with a repository and a written description is taken over several times faster than a server whose password only the developer knew
A lower bound, not a final price. We work out the exact sum after breaking the problem down and fix it before the work starts.
A list of work, not a description of an approach. The scope is adjusted to the job: anything unnecessary comes off and anything missing goes on at the estimate stage.
Code, servers, domains, databases and third-party services: what exists, where it lives and whose name it is in.
The repository, hosting, domain and service accounts move to you, not to the next contractor.
How maintainable the code is, where the vulnerabilities are and what breaks first. The report is written so that a manager can make the call.
Whatever is losing money or data gets fixed first. The rest follows a plan with a quote for every item.
Outdated libraries and services left open to the internet are closed before somebody else makes use of them.
An agreed response time, monitoring and backups. Or the report and the plan in your hands, if you carry on yourselves.
Tick the work you need and see the order of magnitude. The estimate goes along with your enquiry.
| Include in estimate | Work | Price |
|---|---|---|
| InspectionAn inventory of the code, servers, data and access. After this step you know what you are actually living with. | ||
| The state of the codeWhat has been written, how maintainable it is, and what it costs a new team to get into the project. | 25 000–425 000₽ | |
| Security reviewAccounts, password storage, vulnerable dependencies, services exposed to the internet. | 22 000–350 000₽ | |
| Infrastructure and backupsWhat it runs on, who owns the accounts, and whether the system comes back if the server disappears today. | 17 000–275 000₽ | |
| Data reviewIntegrity, duplicates and broken relations. This is often where "the system calculates it wrong" actually comes from. | 18 000–300 000₽ | |
| HandoverAccess passes to you, and the risks are written down in the owner's language. The one-off work ends here. | ||
| Taking over someone else's projectAn audit before we take responsibility for a system we did not write. One-off work. | 45 000–600 000₽ | |
| A report in the owner's languageA director can make the decision, not only a technical specialist. | 10 000–175 000₽ | |
| StabilisationFirst whatever is losing money and data, then the rest by a plan with a quote. | ||
| A remediation plan with costingsWhat to fix first, what can wait, and what each item costs. | 18 000–325 000₽ | |
| Fixing bugsAnything not working as designed is fixed with no separate quote per correction. | 12 000–55 000₽per month | |
| Updates and securityLibraries and the environment are updated on a schedule, not after something has broken or leaked. | 10 000–45 000₽per month | |
| SupportMonthly: we hear about a failure, not your customer. | ||
| A response time you agreed toResponse time is fixed in the contract rather than depending on how busy we are this month. Baseline: business hours. | 15 000–70 000₽per month | |
| Monitoring and backupsWe find out about a failure, not your customer. Backups are verified by restoring them. | 10 000–45 000₽per month | |
| Out-of-hours coverEvenings, weekends and nights, where downtime stops the business. | 20 000–90 000₽per month | |
| A second system on supportEach additional system beyond the first. | 10 000–45 000₽per month | |
This is an order-of-magnitude estimate, not a costed quote and not an offer. Bundled together, some work gets cheaper and some gets more expensive depending on the specifics: the exact sum is worked out after we break the problem down, and it is fixed before the work starts.
Verifiable facts instead of claims about ourselves. There is not a single invented case in this catalogue.
Switching to us does not commit you to staying with us: the inventory, the access and the plan stay with you even if you move to another contractor.
What passes to you at every stage, including the source code, the accounts and the rights, is set out on the How we work page.
The system is built on technology we do not work with.
That comes out in the first conversation, and we do not take such a project: learning someone else's stack at your expense is not honest.
Tell us what is happening now. We reply within one business day, and the first conversation commits you to nothing.
