How We Help Companies Stabilize and Modernize Their Systems
Refactor House provides technical advisory and system modernization services. We work with companies whose software has become fragile, poorly understood, or risky to change. Our focus is restoring stability and predictability — before a disaster forces the issue.
System Health Audit
Who It's For
CTOs, technical directors, and engineering leads who need an honest, independent assessment of their system before a major decision — hire, acquisition, replatform, or scale.
What You Get
- 2-hour kickoff call
- Architecture and codebase review
- Structured interviews with 3–5 engineers
- Written report: risk level (1–5), top risks by business impact, prioritised roadmap
- 90-minute debrief call
- One follow-up Q&A within 30 days
System Stabilization and Modernization
Who It's For
Companies with a fragile production system that needs stabilizing or modernizing — without a full rewrite. Ideal when a system "mostly works" but is too risky to change or too complex for new engineers to onboard.
What You Get
- System Health Audit included
- Phased stabilization plan
- Hands-on work: observability, critical risk fixes, test coverage
- All changes small and reversible — no big-bang rewrites
- Architecture documentation and ADRs
- Knowledge transfer sessions throughout
- Final handover with runbooks and 60-day stability check
Technical Advisory Retainer
Who It's For
CTOs and technical leaders who need a senior technical perspective on ongoing decisions without the overhead of a full-time hire. Architecture choices, vendor evaluations, hiring decisions, incident post-mortems.
What You Get
- 4 hours advisory time per month
- Priority response within 24 hours
- Architecture review on up to 2 decisions per month
- Quarterly written system health assessment
- Access to all Refactor House tools and resources
- Option to add hands-on hours at a discounted rate
Career Resilience Assessment
Who It's For
Individual engineers and tech leads who want an honest, data-driven view of how AI and market shifts affect their role — and a concrete action plan for the next 12 months.
What You Get
- 90-minute career assessment call
- Skills analysis vs market demand trends
- "Risk zone" and "growth zone" identification
- Personalised 12-month development plan
- Resources and learning paths for each skill
- 30-minute follow-up at the 90-day mark
