SOFTWARE & AI PROJECT AUDIT

Before you invest further: Know what you have.

A technical project assessment turns open questions into an informed decision. We examine the current state, potential for reuse and obstacles on the path to production readiness.

PREPARATION

What we need for a sound assessment.

  • Goals and requirements

    What should the application do? Who uses it and what conditions must it meet? Existing requirements, open issues and previous decisions help provide context.

  • Project documentation

    Source code, documentation, architecture overviews, tests and a list of services show how the application is built. Missing documents are recorded as open issues.

  • Data and testing options

    A suitable test environment, representative sample data and known error cases support the assessment. Personal or confidential data is not requested as a matter of course.

  • Rights and responsibilities

    Permitted access, usage rights and contacts are clarified before work begins. Required materials are provided through an agreed, suitable channel — not through the initial contact form.

ASSESSMENT AREAS

Keeping the whole project in view.

We compare existing functionality with requirements and examine the technical structure, code quality, interfaces and key security and operational questions. AI features also require consideration of data quality, permissions, output behaviour and running costs.

The scope is agreed in advance to suit the project. A code audit may be a focus, but it does not automatically cover data, infrastructure or organisational prerequisites. A project audit does not promise comprehensive security certification.

Where access is missing or behaviour cannot be reproduced, we state the limits of the assessment. Components that have not been checked are not presented as checked.

A BASIS FOR DECISIONS

Continue, rebuild or stop?

The recommendation connects reusable work, risks and expected effort in a transparent way. We distinguish documented findings, open questions and reasoned assessments.

The action plan prioritises obstacles to production use. It sets out dependencies, a reasoned estimate of effort and proposals for verifiable acceptance criteria. Unresolved prerequisites remain explicitly visible.

You then decide whether to commission a separate implementation engagement. The assessment does not automatically commit you to completion with Aivacuate and may also recommend a targeted rebuild or discontinuation.

THE GOAL

An outcome you can base decisions on.

See the path from assessment to implementation
  • An overview of the technical state of the project.
  • An assessment of reusable components.
  • Prioritised risks and obstacles.
  • A recommendation to complete, selectively rebuild or discontinue the project.
  • An action plan covering effort, dependencies and acceptance criteria.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What you
should know.

No. The first conversation clarifies your needs and whether an assessment would make sense. The in-depth assessment is a separate, paid engagement with an agreed scope.

The existing state can often be examined. However, missing documents or access limit the conclusions that can be drawn and may cause additional work. These limits are clarified in advance and identified in the findings.

No. The audit is intended to enable an informed decision. It may find that only some parts are reusable or that continuing does not make business sense. Implementation is scoped only on the basis of the findings.

They depend on the agreed scope, the size and complexity of the project, the availability of documents and the testing options. A blanket timeframe or fixed price without this context would not be reliable.
