Engineering Health Check

Engineering Health Check

A calm, objective review of code, architecture, developer experience, flow, process, tooling, and reliability—prioritised by impact and effort.

Who it’s for
• CTOs/Heads of Engineering • Teams post‑growth spurt • Organisations preparing for scale or funding

Problems we solve
• Unknown reliability and technical risk
• Slow developer experience and flow
• Process/tooling sprawl without clear ownership

What you get
• Findings grouped by impact/effort
• Quick wins and a sequenced improvement plan
• Reference checklist and architecture notes

Timeline & format
• ~2 weeks (size dependent)
• Code/infra read‑throughs, interviews, metric snapshots
• Remote with optional on‑site sessions

Outcomes
• Clear view of reliability, risks, and hotspots
• Faster flow through targeted improvements
• Shared technical priorities between product and engineering

Investment (indicative)
• £4k–£7k fixed, depending on system size and access

Mini case
Renewable Tech Manufacturer: legacy software with ad-hoc delivery; we set up release tracking, surfaced gaps in real-time and Modbus skills, and added expert coaching, lifting stability and throughput.

FAQ
Will this require a code freeze? No—reviews run alongside delivery.
Do you need full access? Read‑only access and selective logs/metrics are plenty.
Can you help implement fixes? Yes—either via Delivery Leadership or targeted sprints.
