You already paid for this once. We start by understanding what's actually wrong.
Findings report
Illustrative — every real assessment produces its own findings.
You don't need to trust us yet — we start by finding out what's actually true.
Assess
Fix
Move forward
Inspect
Codebase, architecture, dependencies — reviewed before recommending anything.
Diagnose
A clear findings report: what's broken, what's fragile, what's actually fine.
Decide.
Stabilize what deserves to stay
Where the foundation holds, we fix what blocks safe change and leave the rest alone.
Rebuild what can't responsibly be saved
Only where the assessment shows it — and we'll show you exactly why.
Stabilize
Fixes delivered in reviewable milestones, not a black box you wait on.
Verify
Testing and reliability verification before we call it done.
Move forward
Full documentation and handover, so your team understands what changed and why.
Stay on
After handover, you can keep us on for ongoing support — so the system stays known, not handed off into silence.
2 YEARS
trying to get the app launched
3 WEEKS
up and running — “flawless condition,” per Josh
One verified client story — not a typical timeline.
Recovery after prolonged delivery failure
Josh, in his own words
"I had a Dev team before them and for two years struggle to get my app up and running. Within 3 weeks of Zia taking over it was up and running in Flawless condition."
"Rescue" isn't one kind of fix. We've handled three different kinds of broken.
STABILIZE
Production reliability under real load
Knipsr — event media platform
The guest-facing side stayed simple by design. Underneath, none of that simplicity held up on its own against real event-day load.
"We could not be happier about working with Zumetrix Labs!"

Bug vs. unfinished vs. intended vs. new scope
What "diagnose before fixing" looks like
On one real stabilization engagement, everything got sorted into one of four categories before a single line changed:
That triage turns "something's wrong" into a plan you can actually approve.
"Zia is the kind of dev who makes you double-check the delivery time because surely no one builds something that good, that fast. But he does. I gave him a backend mess, some vague Twilio goals, and he returned with a fully functional, beautifully structured API."
Nathan, Backend/API client
"You jumped into a messy situation and got us back to shipping. That was exactly what we needed."
Bharat, Developer, Bondfire
If the assessment finds it's genuinely beyond repair, we'll say so — and show you exactly why — before any fix work is scoped or started. If it finds the opposite, we'll say that just as plainly, and tell you what we'd keep.
It starts with the Product Rescue Assessment — a bounded, $750 engagement with a stated price and a 5-business-day delivery once access is ready. We review your codebase, architecture, security, and dependencies, and you get a clear findings report on what's broken, what's fragile, and what's actually fine. If implementation makes sense after that, it's scoped and priced separately, based on what the assessment actually found — pricing a fix before we've looked at the code would still be a guess, not a plan.
Only if that's genuinely the honest answer. Our default is to stabilize what's already working and fix what's actually broken instead of starting over. On one real engagement, that meant triaging every issue into bug, unfinished feature, intentional behavior, or future scope, then stabilizing without a rewrite.
That's a normal starting point for this kind of engagement, not a blocker. We work from the codebase and whatever documentation exists, and we're upfront early if something is genuinely unclear enough to need your input.
It depends entirely on what the assessment finds — that's exactly why we don't quote a timeline before looking at the code. Once the findings report is done, you get a real, scoped plan with a real timeline before any fix work starts.
We hand over documentation and a clear picture of what changed, or stay on as an ongoing support option if you want us to keep maintaining it. Either way, you leave with a system your team can safely keep building on.
