Rescue Sprint FAQ
Do I need an audit first?
Usually yes. The audit lets us fix the price and scope honestly. Its fee is credited to the sprint.
Will you rewrite everything?
No. We stabilise what matters and keep what works. A rebuild is only recommended when it is genuinely cheaper.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance?
No — and that is deliberate. We build, verify and hand over cleanly, with documentation any developer can pick up. You get a bug-fix warranty and an optional paid handoff session.
What counts as a warranty bug?
Anything that does not work as described in the signed spec. New features or changes are quoted separately at a fixed price.
Who owns the code and accounts?
You do, from the first commit. Everything is deployed to your own repository, hosting and payment accounts.
