The Week-Zero Audit
Your MVP code won't survive your Series B
In 5 days, I'll personally audit your stack, security, and processes. On Friday, you'll receive a P0 Triage Report with a prioritized, actionable roadmap.
5-Day Schedule
The Week-Zero Audit Deliverables
Security & Compliance
What: A full review of your AWS/GCP/Azure org setup, IAM policies, Zero Trust Access, and SSO/ACL systems.
Why: So you don't wake up to a £2M breach or fail your first SOC 2 audit.
Outcome: A clear gap analysis for your next ISO27001 or SOC 2 audit, with cost estimates for each vulnerability.
Scalability & Architecture
What: A "stress test" of your core application, SQL database performance analysis, and CQRS/Event-Driven architecture review.
Why: To prevent your monolith from breaking under scale and identify bottlenecks before they cause outages.
Outcome: A technical roadmap showing exactly what needs to change to handle 10x traffic without a full rebuild.
Process & DevOps
What: CI/CD pipeline review, observability stack analysis, Git workflow assessment, and "bus factor" report.
Why: To find the inefficiencies your team is too close to see and identify single points of failure.
Outcome: A process optimization roadmap with specific improvements to CI/CD speed, deployment reliability, and team workflows.
What risks does this audit prevent?
Production Outages
A single production outage during a funding round costs you your Series B.
Compliance Failures
A failed SOC 2 audit delays your enterprise deals by months.
Security Breaches
GDPR fines, legal fees, and the cost of lost customer trust.
This audit identifies those risks before they happen. The ROI is 100x+.
We don't just diagnose. We fix it.
The audit tells you your house is on fire. These are the fire brigades that put it out.
The Rescue Mission
Legacy Migration
Your audit revealed a Node 14 monolith or Parse.js backend. I architect the migration to a modern stack. My team executes.

Common Questions
Why 5 days?
Day 1: Infrastructure & Security. Day 2: Application Architecture. Day 3: DevOps & CI/CD. Day 4: Team Process Analysis. Day 5: P0 Triage Report Delivery.
What happens after the audit?
The report is yours. Use it with your existing team, hire me for implementation, or hire contractors using it as a blueprint. No bait-and-switch.
Why hire a "First Engineer" to audit my stack?
I've been the first technical hire at three startups. I know the shortcuts you took to ship fast. I'll tell you what MUST be fixed (P0), what CAN wait (P1), and what's fine as-is.
