This page describes how a typical fixed-fee review runs. Variants for flaky triage or quality memos compress or skip steps as noted in your quote letter.
-
Scope call (45 minutes)
You share repository size, release pressure, and existing test tooling. We confirm fit and send a written estimate within three business days.
-
Kickoff & access
NDA if needed, read-only VCS access, CI dashboard guest seat, and naming your engineering counterpart for daily questions.
-
Architecture sketch
We diagram deployables, data flows, and where tests currently sit—unit, contract, end-to-end—without boiling the ocean.
-
Deep dive weeks
Static review, sampled test execution, failure archaeology in build history, and short interviews with dev and QA leads.
-
Draft findings
You receive a draft report for factual corrections only—no scope creep into new features.
-
Handover
Final PDF, repository pull requests for sample fixes, and a recorded readout. Clarification window opens for fourteen days.
