Week one: audit and access
We get access to every system, read the code, map the infrastructure and list the risks.
Weeks two and three: stabilize
Error tracking, the first tests on the riskiest paths and fixes for the top crashes. On our last takeover the error rate fell 87%.
Week four: ship something new
A small, visible feature proves the team can change the code safely. Tests went from 0 to 412 along the way.
