Written report
Every finding ranked by impact and effort, with the evidence behind it: traces, query plans, flame graphs or a process map.
Metad Diagnostic
Know exactly what to fix, in 5 days.
A fixed-scope, fixed-price look at one slow app, API, database or manual workflow. We measure, find the causes, ship the quick wins, and hand you a ranked plan for the rest.
$2,500fixed · 5 business days
- Credited in full toward follow-on work booked within 30 days
- Money back if it doesn't find at least one fix worth the fee
- The report is yours either way
We confirm the scope on the call before you pay anything.
What you get
Five deliverables. No slide decks.
Prioritized backlog
Findings filed as issues in your tracker (GitHub, Linear or Jira), ready for your team or ours to pick up.
Quick wins, shipped
Low-risk fixes we can make inside the week land as PRs in your repo, benchmarked against the baseline.
60-minute readout
We walk your team through the findings, answer questions, and agree on what to do first.
30-day re-check
A month later we re-measure to confirm the gains held, and flag anything that regressed.
Scope
One system, measured end to end.
Pick the one that hurts most. If you're not sure which, that's what the intro call is for.
An app or API
A slow page, endpoint or background job, end to end.
A database
Postgres, MySQL or MongoDB: queries, indexes, config and load.
A workflow
One business process where people copy, paste and chase. We map it and find what to automate.
- Day 1
Kickoff & baseline
30-min kickoff, access check, and a baseline of the numbers that matter.
- Days 2–3
Measure
Profiling, tracing, query analysis or process mapping. No changes to production.
- Day 4
Fix & verify
Quick wins as PRs, each benchmarked. Larger fixes scoped and estimated.
- Day 5
Report & readout
Report, backlog and a 60-min readout with your team.
What we need
Read-only, NDA first.
- A signed NDA (yours or ours) before any access
- Read-only access to metrics, logs and APM or tracing, if you have them
- Read access to the relevant repo
- A replica or staging database, or read-only query stats on production
- One engineer (or process owner) for a 30-min kickoff and occasional questions
The report
What's inside.
- 1.Summary: what's slow or manual, why, and the three things to do first
- 2.Baseline: the numbers we measured and how
- 3.Findings, each with evidence, root cause, fix, expected impact and effort
- 4.What we already shipped, with before and after numbers
- 5.Roadmap: the rest, sequenced, with rough estimates
- 6.Appendix: queries, traces and configs we used
What counts as one system?
One app, API, database or business workflow that we can measure end to end in a week. If what you describe is bigger, we'll tell you on the intro call and suggest where to start.
How does the money-back guarantee work?
If the report doesn't identify at least one fix you judge to be worth the $2,500 fee, tell us within 14 days of the readout and we refund you in full. You keep the report either way.
How does the credit work?
If you book a Project Sprint or Fractional Team engagement within 30 days of the readout, the full $2,500 comes off the first invoice.
Do we have to hire you afterwards?
No. The report and backlog are written so your own team can act on them.
When does the five days start?
On the first business day after access is working. Most teams sort access in a day or two after the intro call.
How do we pay?
We invoice once the scope is confirmed on the intro call, and the five days start when access is ready.
