Technology Consulting

Senior engineering judgement before you commit budget

Technical discovery, architecture and codebase reviews, and delivery planning — for founders and product leaders who need clear answers, not a sales pitch for a large project.

What is a technical architecture and codebase audit?

A technical architecture and codebase audit is an independent review of how your software is built: architecture, code quality, security basics, performance, infrastructure and delivery process. ImliStack delivers a written report with prioritised findings, risks and a recommended roadmap, so you can decide what to fix, rebuild or leave alone.

Is this for you

Where we usually help

If any of these sound familiar, a short call is the fastest way to find out whether we are the right fit.

  • You inherited a codebase and need to know what you are dealing with
  • You are choosing a stack or architecture for a new product
  • An investor, acquirer or new CTO wants an independent technical view
  • Delivery has slowed and nobody can say exactly why

How we work

A delivery approach you can follow

Written plans, visible progress and decisions recorded as we go — so nothing depends on memory.

  1. Brief

    Agree questions to answer, access needed and the decision you face.

  2. Investigate

    Review code, infrastructure and documentation; interview the people involved.

  3. Report

    Written findings ranked by impact and effort, with clear recommendations.

  4. Walk-through

    A session to discuss findings and turn them into a plan.

FAQ

Technology Consulting: common questions

Is a codebase audit the same as a security penetration test?

No. An audit covers architecture, code quality, security basics, performance and delivery. It flags security risks visible in code and configuration, but it is not a formal penetration test or a compliance certification.

What access do you need for an audit?

Read access to repositories and, where relevant, read-only access to infrastructure, error tracking and analytics, plus a short call with the people who built or run the system. We sign an NDA before access.

Will you push us into a large project afterwards?

No. The report is useful whether or not we do further work. Many findings can be fixed by your own team.
