Project rescue
Software project rescue: when a project stalls, we get it moving again.
Deadlines that keep slipping, a budget that keeps growing, a developer who has moved on. We take over projects like that, find out what went wrong, and ship them. American Allied Health came to us after scrapping its online school twice. We delivered it in seven months, on time and under budget.
Signs a Project NeedsRescue
Projects rarely fail all at once. These are the warning signs we hear about most.
The Deadline Keeps Moving
Every update brings a new date, and nobody can say what's actually finished.
The Budget Keeps Growing
Costs climb faster than progress, and you're no longer sure what you're paying for.
It Never Quite Launches
Development goes on and on, but real users still can't use it.
The Developer Has Moved On
The people who built it have left, gone quiet, or aren't interested in adding what you need.
The Technology Is a Dead End
It's built on tools that are outdated, hard to change or can't grow with the business.
Nobody Can Tell You Where It Stands
No clear plan, no working build to look at, and no straight answers.
A real rescue, phase by phase
Two scrapped attempts. Then seven months to launch.
American Allied Health trains people for healthcare careers online. An outside firm spent two years on their new online school with little to show for it, and the project had been scrapped twice before they called us. Here's how we turned the board green.
- 01
Triage
Find out what's really wrong
We audit the code, the servers and the plan, and work out not just what went wrong, but why.
- 02
Stabilize
Agree on one plan
Clear goals tied to the business, with milestones, a budget and a timeline. Then short sprints, one source of truth and one place to reach the team.
- 03
Fix
Repair or rebuild what can't be saved
For American Allied Health that meant rebuilding from the ground up: every portal, exams, certificates, payments and mobile apps.
- 04
Hand back
Launch, document, look after it
A system that works, documentation for everything, and a choice: run it yourself, or have us host and look after it.

Software Projects We'veRescued
Real clients who came to us after a project stalled, broke or outgrew its builder.
American Allied Health
Online healthcare training
Problem: Two years with an outside firm produced little, and the project had been scrapped twice.
What we did: Rebuilt it from the ground up: student, partner and admin portals, online exams and certificates, a public site and mobile apps.
Result: Delivered in seven months, on time and under budget. Average monthly revenue up more than 20% since launch.
Petra Medical College
Healthcare career college
Problem: An outside firm had worked on their online college for two years with scant progress.
What we did: Mapped it out in more than 300 design mockups, then built staff, partner and student portals and a public site.
Result: Delivered in five months, on time and under budget.
Tom's Toolbox
Home-improvement franchise software
Problem: Their estimating app and website were outdated, and the original developer wasn't interested in adding features.
What we did: Rebuilt both: an app estimators use in customers' homes that works fully offline and syncs when it's back online, and a website for customers, jobs and reports that connects to QuickBooks.
Result: A modern base they can keep adding features to.
Quest Industries
Mold tooling and machining, Michigan
Problem: Four or five systems that never worked together, running on their own premises. The old system crashed during our first call.
What we did: Replaced them with one system, moved it onto our hosting, and moved 7.4 million records across in seven and a half minutes with zero errors.
Result: One system for quoting, jobs, scheduling and purchasing, which we run for them.
Financial Planning Ministry
Nonprofit estate planning
Problem: An aging estate-planning system made of pieces that didn't stay in sync, with bugs in how it produced legal documents.
What we did: Replaced the planning workflow and the document generator with one connected system that stays in sync with the parts still on the old one.
Result: Faster and more responsive than the system it replaced.
Third time, it worked
Criston Anderson's team had scrapped the project twice with other firms. They started again, with new goals, with us.
We were incredibly satisfied with their results because they were the only ones that brought tangible outcomes.
