Know what is healthy, what is risky, and what to fix next.

A practical technical health review for software your business depends on. We inspect the application, its operating environment, and the decisions around it — then turn the findings into a prioritized plan you can act on. There is no fee for the review. One free Technical Health Review for every new client — free outright, not a trial and not a credit against later work.

Clear priorities. Practical next steps. No pressure to build.

A structured technical assessment identifying application risks and priorities

Technical Health Review

Free

One review per new client, at the start of the relationship.

A focused assessment of architecture, security, reliability, data, dependencies, workflows, change safety, and ownership.

Technical uncertainty gets expensive when nobody owns the next decision.

Fast-moving teams often inherit an application before they inherit a clear picture of its risks. Dependencies age, credentials spread, backups go untested, and a small failure can become a customer or revenue problem. A technical health review gives you an outside perspective and a useful answer to three questions: What could hurt us? What matters most? What can wait? The Technical Health Review finds what needs attention; if it turns up something serious, the next step is a Production Readiness Review — and we'll tell you before you've spent anything.

People and technology working together to keep an application healthy

A registry of the areas we check.

We use the same explicit checklist for every review, then adapt the depth to your application, users, and business risk.

review-card: application

Application and architecture

Trace the main components, data flows, dependencies, and technical decisions that shape reliability and changeability.

review-card: security

Security and access

Check authentication, authorization, secrets, sensitive data, exposed services, and the controls around user and administrator access.

review-card: operations

Reliability and operations

Review monitoring, logging, alerting, error handling, deployments, environments, and the signals needed to know when something is wrong.

review-card: data

Data, backups, and recovery

Check data ownership, retention, backup coverage, restore confidence, migration risk, and what happens after accidental deletion or an outage.

review-card: dependencies

Dependencies and vendors

Review third-party services, package age, vendor concentration, API limits, expiring credentials, and failure behavior at integration boundaries.

review-card: customer-journeys

Critical workflows

Walk through the customer and internal journeys that matter most, including signup, login, payment, fulfillment, reporting, and support.

review-card: delivery

Change and release safety

Assess source control, environments, testing, deployment practices, rollback options, and how safely the team can continue improving the product.

review-card: ownership

Ownership and continuity

Confirm who controls the code, domains, data, accounts, credentials, documentation, and decisions needed to operate the system.

The Deliverable

Five sections that turn findings into decisions.

You receive a concise written report designed for business and technical stakeholders — not a wall of jargon or an inventory of theoretical problems.

01 — Executive summary

The overall health picture, the highest business risks, and the decisions that deserve attention first.

02 — Findings by area

Clear observations from the review checklist, with evidence, context, and the likely impact of each issue.

03 — Prioritized risk register

A practical ranking of critical, important, recommended, and deferred work based on likelihood and business impact.

04 — Three costed options

Fix now, fix later, or leave it — each with a specific price, what the work includes, and the trade-off behind the recommendation.

05 — Questions and assumptions

Open questions, constraints, and assumptions to validate as the system or business changes.

In scope and out of scope.

The review is intentionally focused. We aim to make the next decision easier, not to create a larger project than the problem requires.

In scope

Technical health and business risk

Application structure, critical workflows, security basics, operations, data recovery, dependencies, delivery practices, and ownership.

In scope

Practical prioritization

Evidence-based findings, risk levels, three costed options — fix now, fix later, or leave it — and guidance on what can safely wait.

Out of scope

A full penetration test or compliance certification

We identify security and compliance concerns; specialist testing, legal advice, and certification are separate engagements.

Out of scope

An automatic rebuild or indefinite support retainer

The report stands on its own. You can make the changes yourself, use another team, or ask Technolz about follow-on help.

A lightweight intake keeps the review focused.

Request a review with these five fields. No technical specification is required.

intake field 1

Your name

Tell us who we should work with and address in the review.

intake field 2

Your email address

Give us a reliable way to follow up about the application and report.

intake field 3

Application URL

Share the public URL, staging URL, or another link that helps us identify the application.

intake field 4

What does the application do?

Describe the users, workflow, and business outcome in plain language.

intake field 5

What are you most concerned about?

Tell us about the failure, decision, or uncertainty you want the review to clarify.

A focused review, from intake to action.

A free Technical Health Review includes a 30-minute intake, an offline read-only assessment, and a 30-minute findings call. You leave with a clear view of what needs attention now, what can wait, and what is not worth building yet.

  1. 01

    30-minute Technical Health Review intake

    Understand the application, customers, operational concern, and intended outcome. Confirm fit and agree the read-only material or access needed.

  2. 02

    Offline, read-only technical review

    We review only the agreed application materials, architecture, code or export where available, dependencies, deployment setup, data and security risks, and ownership gaps.

  3. 03

    30-minute findings call

    Walk through the concise written assessment, explain what is urgent, what can wait, what is not worth doing yet, and discuss the appropriate next step.

  4. 04

    Choose what happens next

    Fix now with a scoped one-time proposal and agreed fixed price; fix later with a documented revisit point; leave it when no work is justified; or choose Technical Ownership when ongoing accountability is the better fit.

A focused review, not implementation work.

The assessment is read-only and deliberately bounded. It creates clarity without silently turning into a project.

Read-only

What the review includes

Assessment of the agreed application surface, architecture, code or export where available, dependencies, deployment setup, data and security risks, and ownership gaps.

Not included

What the review does not include

No code changes, debugging, deployment work, implementation, or open-ended support. Follow-on work is proposed separately only after scope and outcome are agreed.

Pricing

The review is free for every new client.

One free Technical Health Review at the start of a new relationship. It is free outright — not a trial, and not a credit against later work.

Frequently asked questions.

A technical health review is a focused assessment, not a commitment to a larger project.

FAQ

Who is this review for?

It is for a founder, operator, or team responsible for software that customers, employees, or revenue now depend on.

FAQ

Do I need to prepare a technical specification?

No. The five-field intake and a conversation about the application are enough to start.

FAQ

Is the review free?

Yes — one free review for every new client, at no charge. Not a trial, and not a credit against later work.

FAQ

Will you fix everything you find?

Not automatically. You receive the report and can handle the work yourself, use another provider, or ask Technolz to help with selected priorities.

FAQ

Is this a security audit or compliance certification?

No. It is a practical technical health assessment. Formal penetration testing, legal advice, and certification require specialized engagements.

FAQ

What if the application needs major work?

We will say so clearly, explain why, and distinguish urgent risk from improvements that can wait.
