Production Handoff Review
Know what you’re inheriting before you take responsibility for it.
A focused, evidence-based review of the codebase, dependencies, AWS architecture, and delivery path for agencies, fractional CTOs, and founders taking responsibility for a production TypeScript or JavaScript system.
The goal is simple: know what you can accept, what needs remediation, and what should change the terms of the handoff.
- Five business days
- Fixed scope
- Read-only accessNDA available before access. I work only within approved tooling, do not require customer data, remove access when the review is complete and delete temporary working copies after delivery.
Standard reviews are $7,500. Expanded scope is quoted before access. Covers one bounded production system, the agreed repositories, its primary AWS environment, identity and delivery path, and one decision readout. Availability is intentionally limited.
My background spans secure web and mobile systems, AWS architecture, identity, and automated delivery in regulated environments. I hold the AWS Certified Solutions Architect – Professional certification.

What you receive
System map
A clear view of application boundaries, identity flows, critical dependencies, and delivery paths.
Evidence-backed risk register
Prioritized findings tied to evidence, likely consequences, and the next decision each finding requires.
Code and production assessment
A targeted review of maintainability, testing, known vulnerable or unmaintained dependencies, security-sensitive configuration, access controls, CI/CD, deployment, and handoff readiness.
Decision brief
A concise readout for deciding what to accept, remediate, re-scope, or delay.
Best fit
- A production TypeScript or JavaScript application running on AWS
- A handoff, vendor change, launch, acquisition, or ownership decision within 30–60 days
- Read-only access to the relevant repository, documentation, and delivery evidence
- A decision-maker available for kickoff and readout
Not included
- Penetration testing or compliance certification
- Full remediation or feature implementation
- Incident response, on-call support, or operational ownership
- Open-ended staff augmentation
How it works
The five-business-day review window begins only after scope is confirmed, required access is in place, and the necessary evidence is complete.
Scope
Confirm the system, decision, access, and engagement boundaries.
Review
Inspect the available evidence and document the findings that materially affect ownership, release, or remediation.
Readout
Walk through the priorities, tradeoffs, and recommended next decisions.
Take responsibility with a clear view of the system.
