Technical Audit

In 2 weeks, we find the risks hiding in your codebase — whether it was hand-built or vibe-coded with AI.

Capabilities

What we audit

Six dimensions of technical health, each with specific evaluation criteria.

01 Architecture & infrastructure System design, deployment topology, scalability ceiling, single points of failure, and disaster recovery posture
02 Code quality & maintainability Code complexity, test coverage, dependency health, documentation gaps, and real cost of technical debt
03 Security posture OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, authentication patterns, data handling, and third-party risk
04 Performance Database query efficiency, caching strategy, frontend Core Web Vitals, and API response times under load
05 Development processes CI/CD pipelines, branching strategy, release cadence, incident response, and team practices
06 AI-generated code assessment Hallucinated logic, duplicated patterns, phantom dependencies, missing error handling, and security holes that AI tools introduce — the stuff that passes a demo but breaks in production

Our approach

The audit process

Two intensive weeks of analysis followed by clear, actionable recommendations.

Week 01

Analysis & scanning

Code review, architecture analysis, automated scanning. We read the codebase, interview key engineers, and run security and performance tooling

Week 02

Synthesis & prioritization

Every issue gets a severity rating, an effort estimate, and a recommended remediation path

Delivery

Report & action plan

Executive summary, full technical findings, prioritized remediation backlog, architecture diagrams, and a 90-day quick-win plan

We came in thinking we needed a new platform. Kalinko told us we didn't — and they were right. The fix cost a third of what we'd budgeted and ran on day one.

Ideal fit

Who commissions this

Typically: CTOs inheriting a codebase, investors doing technical due diligence, product teams preparing for a major scaling phase, and founders who shipped fast with AI tools and need someone who actually reads code to tell them what they've got.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

We assess six dimensions: architecture and infrastructure, code quality, security posture, performance, development processes, and AI-generated code. You receive an executive summary, full technical findings, architecture diagrams, and a prioritized 90-day action plan.

Two weeks. Week one is analysis and scanning; week two is synthesis, prioritization, and report writing. We deliver the full report with a walkthrough presentation at the end.

Yes — this is one of our specialties. AI-generated codebases often contain hallucinated logic, phantom dependencies, inconsistent patterns, and security holes that pass demos but break in production. We identify and prioritize these issues.

Our standard two-week audit is a fixed-price engagement. Contact us for a quote — pricing depends on codebase size, number of repositories, and infrastructure complexity.

Common triggers: inheriting a codebase as a new CTO, investor due diligence, preparing to scale, post-acquisition assessment, or when you've shipped fast with AI tools and need an honest assessment of what you've got.
