PXL AUDIT RESCUE
When a project was left half-finished, the supplier disappeared, the internal team could not finish it, or it was generated with pure AI and no technical supervision, we step in to stabilise it, put it into production and give you back control of the product.
What's included
A rapid 1 to 2 week audit to understand the real state, the critical risks and whether rescuing beats rebuilding.
Fixing active incidents, a controlled deploy, hotfixes for critical bugs and restoring operation if it is down.
Migrating or consolidating repositories, recovering cloud access, documenting credentials and secrets.
Only what is critical to stabilise. We do not rewrite everything, this is not the moment. We identify the 3 to 5 real blockers and resolve them.
If the project never reached production, we finish it and launch. CI/CD, basic monitoring and a release plan.
Runbooks, architecture diagrams, documented technical decisions and a complete handover to the team that operates it.
A prioritised post-rescue roadmap separating the urgent, the important and the desirable. Transition to normal operation.
Sessions with your team (if there is one) so they can operate and maintain the system after the rescue.
Who it's for
We'll help you decide quickly. If we are not the right match, we point you to who is.
Problem
Stalled projects are one of the most expensive and most silent problems in software: months of investment without reaching production, market windows lost, and compromised platforms nobody wants to touch. In the last year a new cause has been added: vibecoding without a safety net. Products generated with AI and no technical supervision, which worked in a demo but collapse in production, and nobody on the team can explain how they are built.
Sunk investments of six or seven figures with no return
Teams paralysed, not knowing where to start unblocking
Broken products in production eroding daily operations
Loss of key talent who took the knowledge of the system with them
New suppliers who refuse to touch the code because "it is in a terrible state"
Hard decisions between rescuing, rebuilding or cancelling without enough information
Outcomes
Rescuing a project properly turns sunk investment into a living product. It is not always rescuable, and our first job is to tell you the truth: in 70% of cases we do rescue it, and in the remaining 30% we advise how to migrate the minimum value and when starting from scratch weighs more than carrying on.
Recovery of the earlier investment without having to redo everything from scratch
Rapid stabilisation of compromised platforms in production
Full control over the code, the infrastructure and the knowledge of the system
An informed decision between rescuing and rebuilding, rather than one made out of desperation
An internal team supported by seniors while they reorganise
Continuity of the product without losing the market window
Process
1 to 2 weeks assessing the state of the project. A clear recommendation: rescue, partial rebuild or full rebuild.
Fixing critical incidents, restoring operation, taking control of repositories and infrastructure.
Only what is critical. We resolve the main blockers and complete what is needed for production.
A controlled release, active monitoring, a fast hotfix if anything comes up, and validation with real users.
Complete operational documentation and handover to the team that operates it.
A documented handover and continuous operation with PXL Dedicated or PXL Flex as needed.

Stack | Tools | Standards
We work with your existing stack, plus tooling for stabilisation, monitoring and control. Documentation and intense communication are part of the method.
Frequently asked questions
Yes, it's one of the cases we see most: projects generated with AI tools that work up to a point but have architecture, security, or scalability problems. We assess the code, identify what's worth keeping, and define a stabilization plan.
Most of the time, yes, but first we do an honest assessment: if the project has problems so deep that rebuilding it is faster and cheaper than rescuing it, we'll tell you clearly before we start.
It depends on the project's condition and the scope of the rescue. We give you a quote after the initial code assessment.
We work with the most common stacks on the market. Reach out to us through Contact and we'll check with our team whether we can take on yours.
We don't need to involve the previous provider to do the rescue; we work directly with the available code and documentation. If it becomes necessary to coordinate with them at some point, we're open to it.
Yes, we can work together with your internal team, either guiding the rescue or executing it directly, depending on what you need.
We deliver the stabilized project with clear documentation. You can stay on with ongoing support through our PXL Dedicated or PXL Flex models, or transfer operations to your team entirely.
