The Engineering Health Audit

You paid for the code. Do you know what you own?

A fixed-price review of all the software you own, in plain English. What's solid, what's quietly falling behind, what could hurt you, what to fix first — and where AI could start pulling its weight. Delivered in days, written so an owner can act on it.

Book the 30-minute call hi@jabariennis.com The call is free. I only need permission to read your code — never to change it.

34 projects, ranked by risk

Project Health Top finding Who understands it
payments-api At risk Built on a payment component with a publicly known security hole — the fix has existed for 14 months; your copy doesn't have it. 1 person
customer-portal Watch Nothing automatically checks the billing math — every change is a gamble nobody knows they're taking. 2 people
mobile-app Healthy Quick win: checking each change takes 40 minutes of waiting; a one-day fix makes it 10. 3 people

Illustrative sample — your report ranks every piece of software you own, in this format, in this language.

Page four of a real deliverable's format: the scorecard your engineers and your accountant can both read.

Why I offer this

I ran it on my own company first.

I'm the founder and CTO of a fintech that moves real money. This month I reviewed every piece of software my own company has built — how current it is, where it's exposed, what's written down, what's tested, and what only one person understands. It's the kind of review most companies never do, because done by hand it takes a consultancy weeks and costs five figures.

I build and run production systems with AI agents daily. That's what makes a weeks-long audit deliverable in days — the sweep is automated, the judgment is mine.

The AI does the reading: every project, every part it's built on, every pattern in how it's been looked after. I do the thinking: what actually matters, in what order, and what it means for your business. You get the coverage of a machine with the judgment of someone who ships.

What you receive

One document. Everything ranked.

Executive summary

Two pages in plain English. What you own, what it's worth operationally, and the three decisions you should make this quarter. No jargon, no hedging.

Project-by-project scorecard

Every piece of software scored: is it maintained? Written down? Tested? How old are the parts it's built on? And who actually understands it?

Ranked risk list

What could actually hurt you, in order — known security holes left unfixed, things only one person can repair, passwords saved where they shouldn't be. Ranked by consequence, not by count.

Quick wins

The list of things fixable in a day each — separated from the structural work, so momentum starts immediately.

AI-readiness roadmap

Where AI could start doing real work on your software first, and what groundwork it needs to be safe — the part no traditional audit includes.

The walkthrough

A live session where we go through the findings together and your team can push back. The report is yours to keep either way.

Your code stays yours

Read-only. Confidential. Then deleted.

The audit needs nothing more than permission to read — never to change — and you can switch that access off the moment we're done. I'll sign your NDA or bring mine. My working copies are deleted after delivery; what remains is your report, in your hands.

And a line you should hear from anyone who reads your code: this is an engineering health audit with security screening, not a formal penetration test. Where your risk profile warrants one, the report says so and I'll point you to specialists who do that work well.

How it works

Access to answers in about a week

The call

Thirty minutes, free. What you have, what worries you, and what you want to be true in six months. If an audit isn't the right move, I'll say so.

The access

You grant read-only permission — I'll walk you through it, it takes minutes. NDA signed before anything is read.

The audit

The sweep runs, then I read what matters and rank everything by consequence. Days, not weeks.

Solo / small: from US$1,500 · Organizations: from US$5,000

The walkthrough

We go through it together. You leave with the report, the ranked list, and the quick wins — and I can quote the fixes if you want them done.

Who this fits

  • Founders who paid an agency — and want to know what they got
  • Owners whose developer or CTO moved on
  • Buyers and investors sizing up a small acquisition
  • Teams inheriting software they didn’t write
  • Organizations that want AI leverage but don't know where to start

What this is not

  • Not a formal penetration test — where you need one, the report says so and names the kind of specialist to hire.
  • Not a rewrite pitch — most findings are fixes, not projects, and the report says which is which.
  • Not a scare document — healthy things are called healthy. The ranking is the value.

Start

Find out what you own.

Tell me roughly what you have — what the software does, who built it, what's keeping you up at night. I'll tell you what the audit would cover and quote it flat.
