For Product & Engineering Leaders

Exit vendor lock‑in - and ship again.

When a vendor starts cheap then makes every change expensive, you're not paying for development - you're paying a lock‑in tax. Project Rescue is a rapid takeover that gets you back to predictable delivery, with senior ownership and code you fully control.

Sound familiar?

The initial quote was low. Now every feature is a "special estimate."
Small changes take weeks because only the vendor has context.
You avoid improvements because they're expensive and risky.
No one can explain the architecture, dependencies, or true roadmap cost.
Reporting is vague and you never know what's actually getting done.
You're afraid to switch because you'll lose momentum.

How Project Rescue works

A clear path from stuck to shipping - typically in 2–4 weeks.

1

Triage

We get access to your codebase, infrastructure, and docs. We map the architecture, identify risks, and produce a written takeover plan - what we'll keep, fix, and rebuild.

Days 1–3
2

Stabilize

We remove delivery blockers: fix broken CI/CD, add baseline tests, improve monitoring. The goal is to ship safely again, not rewrite everything.

Week 1
3

Ship

Weekly sprints, weekly demos. You see real progress constantly, with clear scope and tradeoffs. Priorities are tied to outcomes, not vague "refactors."

Week 2+
4

Freedom

Full documentation, complete access, and zero lock-in. You can bring the work in-house or hand off to another team at any time. The code is yours.

Ongoing

What you get (concretely)

No mystery. Here's what we deliver.

🔑

Full access

Code, infra, secrets - you own everything

This is for you if...

  • Your vendor started cheap but now every change is slow and expensive
  • You've lost confidence in the codebase and don't know what's safe to change
  • You want to bring development in-house eventually but can't right now
  • You need to ship features but your current team can't move fast enough
  • You want predictable delivery and transparent communication

This is not for you if...

  • The codebase is so far gone it needs a full rewrite (we'll tell you honestly)
  • You want the cheapest option and don't care about quality
  • You're not willing to give us the access we need to do the work
  • You need a team of 20 engineers (we're senior and focused)
"We were paying $40k/month and getting maybe one feature a quarter. Virgo took over, stabilized the codebase in two weeks, and now we ship every week. We should have switched a year ago."
