§01
Quick answer on project audit
Owners who need an honest technical read before putting another dollar into a shaky build.
A software project audit gives an independent read on a stalled, inherited or confusing build before you spend more. It checks code, hosting, data, access, security, delivery risk and the practical next step.
When this is not a fit
A standard tool may be better when it already covers the workflow cleanly, nobody can own the process internally, or the first version has no path to maintenance.

A Project Audit engagement starts by confirming what needs to change, who uses it, what can break and how it will be supported after launch.
Ownership stays clear
Handover should include source access where relevant, owner notes, support expectations and known risks to monitor after launch.
Show the working
Ask for a recent support note, maintenance report, workflow map or before-and-after summary that shows the issue, the fix and the next step.
Agree the boundary first
A short discovery or review keeps the work grounded in the business problem, keeps the price affordable, and makes the first useful step clear.

Project audit questions
Practical questions about Project Audit for Australian businesses.
What does a software project audit check?
It can check code quality, hosting, access, data, security, release process, documentation, vendor risk and whether the build is worth saving.
Can an audit help with an offshore project?
Yes. It gives a practical read on what can be stabilised, finished, rebuilt or stopped before more money is committed.
Will you take over after the audit?
If the project is worth saving and the scope is clear, we can quote the next stage. If not, the audit should still give you a cleaner decision.
Do we need to provide production access?
Not always at first. We start with the safest useful access and agree what is needed before touching live systems.
