Current-state architecture & coupling audit
Map service boundaries, database schema contention, synchronous bottlenecks, and fragile legacy dependencies constraining release cadence.
Fixed-scope diagnostic assessment
Quantify architectural risk and security exposure before committing to a rewrite
Succresco delivers a time-boxed 2–4 week diagnostic across your codebase, dependencies, cloud accounts, and compliance controls—producing a prioritized risk register, modernization blueprint, and 90-day remediation roadmap with zero vendor lock-in.
- 2–4 week fixed-milestone turnaround
- Codebase, dependency & supply-chain audit
- Prioritized risk register & impact matrix
- 90-day modernization & compliance roadmap
What the diagnostic delivers
Objective engineering evidence to guide capital and sprint allocation
Engineering leaders and boards often struggle to separate cosmetic code imperfections from structural debt that threatens uptime, security compliance, or release velocity. Our diagnostic evaluates your systems against a four-pillar scoring matrix to isolate highest-ROI fixes.
Security & supply-chain exposure review
Evaluate authentication flows, IAM boundaries, secrets management, third-party CVE exposure, and compliance gaps (SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST, HIPAA).
Cloud & FinOps unit-cost analysis
Audit AWS, Azure, GCP, or hybrid utilization, egress paths, unattached storage, and commitment coverage to identify immediate run-rate savings.
Quantified risk register & impact matrix
Score every identified finding by exploitability, blast radius, delivery drag, and estimated engineering effort.
Strangler-fig modernization blueprint
Define bounded extraction seams, anti-corruption layers, validation gates, and rollback strategies so modernization proceeds without service disruption.
Executive 90-day remediation plan
Deliver a sprint-ready backlog and board-level briefing that your internal team or Succresco sprint engineers can execute immediately.
How the work progresses
A structured 2–4 week diagnostic workflow
-
01
Week 1: Intake & Discovery
Review repository structure, cloud topology, CI/CD pipelines, incident history, and business continuity requirements under mutual NDA.
-
02
Week 2: Deep Technical Analysis
Perform static/dependency analysis, database and API bottleneck profiling, IAM/Zero-Trust control verification, and FinOps spend analysis.
-
03
Week 3: Blueprint & Scoring
Rank findings in the risk register, design target service boundaries, and sequence remediation into two-week sprint increments.
-
04
Week 4: Executive Readout & Handoff
Present the current-state assessment, modernization blueprint, and 90-day roadmap to technical and executive stakeholders.
Engagement model
Transparent fixed-scope pricing scaled to environment complexity
Final diagnostic pricing within the published range depends on application count, codebase volume, number of cloud accounts, and regulatory compliance depth.
Frequently asked questions
Practical answers before we begin
What determines where our project falls in the $6,500–$16,000 range?
Pricing is determined during intake based on four concrete factors: number of repositories/applications, total codebase size, number of cloud accounts or clusters, and whether formal compliance mapping (such as SOC 2, HIPAA, or ISO 27001) is required.
Are we obligated to hire Succresco for the follow-on implementation?
No. The diagnostic is a standalone, fixed-price deliverable with zero vendor lock-in. Your internal engineering team can execute the 90-day roadmap independently, or engage Succresco for vCISO governance or modernization sprints.
What level of access do you need during the diagnostic?
We operate on least-privilege principles under a mutual NDA—typically read-only repository access, read-only cloud billing/configuration roles, and 2–3 structured interviews with lead engineers.
Can we download your assessment scoring template before booking?
Yes. We publish our open Technical Debt & Security Assessment Framework and downloadable CSV scoring worksheet so engineering leaders can preview our methodology.
