A written verdict on your product, module by module
In two weeks a working CTO reads your code, your data and your cloud and writes down what to rescue, what to rebuild and what to drop: every issue ranked by severity, the target architecture, and the plan and quote for the next phase. For products that have, or are about to have, paying users.
WHAT WE DIAGNOSE
What you see, and what we look for underneath
You do not need to know the cause. Bring the symptom: the verdict names the cause, where it lives and what fixing it takes.
Login breaks
Users get logged out, cannot reset a password or land in someone else's session. We check the auth flow, the sessions and the access rules on every table.
The database is slow
Screens that took a second now take ten. We look for missing indexes, queries inside loops and lists with no pagination.
Payments or webhooks fail
A charge goes through and the account does not update, or a webhook arrives twice. We check signatures, retries and idempotency, end to end.
Works in preview, breaks live
Everything passes on the preview link and fails in production. We compare environments, secrets, builds and the data each one sees.
It would not pass a security audit
A customer sends a security questionnaire and nobody can answer it. We look for exposed keys, open access policies, missing logs and backups.
You cannot onboard a second customer
The product was built for one account, and a second one would see the first one's data. We check tenant isolation from the database up.
Nobody dares to deploy
Every release goes out by hand and nobody can say what it will break. We check tests on the critical paths, the pipeline and how you roll back.
The cloud bill keeps climbing
The invoice grows faster than the users. We look at oversized resources, chatty queries and AI calls without caching or limits.
WHAT YOU GET
A verdict in writing, not a slide deck
Written so you can decide the next phase on facts, and so a developer, or an AI coding agent, can start on it the next day.
- 01
Verdict per module
Every part of the product gets one of three words: rescue, rebuild or drop, with the reason next to it. No module is left at «it depends».
- 02
Issue register by severity
Every problem we find, ranked: blocks launch, real risk or cosmetic. With where it lives in the code and what it takes to fix.
- 03
Target architecture
Where the product has to get to so it holds paying users: data model, permissions, environments and stack, chosen for your volume, not for the trend of the month.
- 04
Written plan and quote
The next phase cut into small, ordered tasks, with a closed price. Each task small enough for one developer or one agent session.
- 05
Context files for AI agents
CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, rules and conventions, so Cursor, Claude Code or Copilot work to the plan instead of to their guess.
BUILD IT WITH ANYONE
It is yours. Act on it with whoever you want.
The Diagnostic & Blueprint does not tie you to us. That is the point.
With us
We take on the next phase at a closed price, and what you paid for the Diagnostic & Blueprint comes off the MVP.
With your team
Your developer gets a ranked list of what to fix first and a clear target to build towards.
With AI agents
If you already build with Cursor, Lovable or Claude Code, the context files give the agent the rules it was missing.

HOW IT WORKS
How the two weeks go
- Days 1–3
Access and walkthrough
Read-only access to the repository, the database and the cloud console, plus a working session with you: what the product does, who pays for it and where it hurts.
- Days 4–10
Diagnosis
The CTO reads the code, runs the critical paths and writes the verdict and the issue register. If something blocks launch, you hear about it that day, not at handover.
- Days 11–14
Verdict and handover
We walk you through the verdict, the target architecture, the plan and the quote, adjust what needs adjusting and hand over every file. From that moment it is yours.
Diagnostic & Blueprint
A CTO reads the code of the product you already run and writes the verdict, with the plan and quote for what comes next. For an AI project it also picks the use cases, checks your data and chooses the model.
- 20 hours of a working CTO
- Verdict per module and an issue register by severity
- Target architecture, written plan and quote
- Comes off the MVP if we build it
WHO IT IS FOR
Who it is for, and who it is not for
Yes, if…
- Your product has paying users, or is about to, and something in it is not holding.
- It was built fast, with AI tools or by someone who has since left, and nobody can say what is safe to change.
- You want a closed quote for the next phase before committing to it.
- A funding round, a bigger customer or a security review is coming, and you need to know where you stand.
No, if…
- You only have an idea: go straight to an MVP in six weeks.
- You want a quick opinion on a call: this is two weeks of written work, with a verdict you can act on.
- You are after a strategy deck: this is a technical document.
- You cannot give us read access and a few hours: the verdict comes from your code, your data and your cloud, not from screenshots.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What we get asked about the Diagnostic & Blueprint
- What exactly do I receive?The five pieces above, in Markdown and diagrams, in a repository or a shared folder: the verdict per module, the issue register, the target architecture, the plan with its quote and the context files. Readable by people and by AI agents, and editable by you.
- Do you need write access to my code?No. The diagnosis is read-only: repository, database and cloud console. Nothing in your product changes during the two weeks, and we can sign a mutual NDA before we look at anything.
- How does the discount work?If we build the next phase, what you paid for the Diagnostic & Blueprint comes off the MVP price. If you build it elsewhere, every file is still yours.
- Is it only for products built with AI?No. It works the same for a product built with Lovable, Cursor or Claude Code, by a freelancer or by a previous agency, as long as it runs on Node.js/TypeScript or Python, where our engineers are senior.
- Who does it?A working Conectia CTO, the same person who would lead the next phase. Not a sales team and not an automated scanner.
- What if two weeks are not enough?We tell you in the first session. If the product is bigger, the diagnosis covers the modules that carry the revenue in full and leaves the rest mapped and ranked in the plan.
- Does it work for an AI project?Yes. For AI projects the diagnostic also covers which use cases have a real return (impact × effort), whether your data is ready, which model to run and where (an API or private inference in your region), how it will be evaluated, and the risks: privacy, cost per call and regulation. The plan and quote are then for the proof of concept or the MVP.
TALK TO A CTO
Tell a CTO what is breaking
A working CTO reads it and replies within one business day: whether the Diagnostic & Blueprint fits and what it would cover.
Closed price. No retainer, no lock-in.
