THE HOSTAGE SITUATION

Thousands of companies are technically trapped by their development agency.

When you suspect your agency is overcharging or underdelivering, the logical step is to leave. But when you ask for the code, you discover exactly how trapped you are.

They own the AWS instances. The codebase is heavily coupled to their internal proprietary tools. There is zero documentation. The threat is clear: if you leave, your product stops working.

Code that only they can read

Spaghetti code with no comments ensures any new developer will take months just to understand it.

Withheld root access

They host your database on their own accounts, making a clean database dump nearly impossible without their permission.

Proprietary lock-in

Using their custom "frameworks" so that nobody else can ever maintain your product.

Extortionate handover fees

Quoting tens of thousands of dollars just to package up the code you already paid for.

THE EXTRACTION PROTOCOL

Quiet Audit

Before your agency knows you are leaving, we securely audit whatever access you currently have. We map dependencies, check for lock-ins, and assess the true state of the codebase.
