Finish the Half-Built
Legacy code rescue
Legacy code rescue means picking up work someone else put down. We read the existing code first, tell you honestly what is salvageable, and quote to finish it, not to start again unless starting again is genuinely cheaper.
How it works
- Describe the job. Tell us what's broken or what you need built. Screenshots and links welcome.
- Review the estimate. See the expected hours, scope, assumptions, exclusions, and $95 service-hour value before work starts.
- Delivered to the approved scope. You get the agreed deliverable and a walkthrough. Report a validated scope issue within 30 days and we correct that delivered scope without deducting more credits.

Common questions
Legacy code rescue: how much does it cost?
It is quoted as an hour estimate at $95 a service hour, and you see the number before any work starts. Jobs of this type on HanDI typically land at $95. If the work comes in under the estimate you are not charged for hours nobody worked.
Legacy code rescue: how long does it take?
1 hour of work is typical, scheduled once you approve the estimate. If the job turns out to need more than that, we stop and tell you what we found and what it adds before carrying on.
Legacy code rescue: what do you need from me to start?
The existing files or repository, whatever brief or spec exists, and a plain description of what is left to do.
