Project Rescue
When projects go off track, our rescue team steps in with proven recovery strategies. We diagnose root causes, stabilize the codebase, realign teams, and get your project back on schedule. From code audits to team restructuring, we turn troubled projects into success stories.
What is Project Rescue?
Project rescue is an expert intervention service that recovers failing software projects. It involves comprehensive auditing, root cause analysis, code quality assessment and refactoring, team restructuring, timeline re-estimation, and strategic course correction to get troubled projects back on track and delivering results.
Engineering Targets
Figures below are the benchmarks we design and test against on this type of build. They are targets, not a warranty — what your platform actually achieves depends on your data, scale and integration surface, and we agree the numbers that matter with you before work starts.
Why This Matters
A stalled project rarely fails for one reason. Scope shifted, the architecture could not carry it, testing was deferred, and the people who understood the decisions have left. Restarting from scratch throws away work that is still sound. An independent audit separates what to keep from what to replace, before more budget is committed.
What You Get
Capabilities
Technical Audit
We read the codebase, infrastructure and test coverage, then report what works, what must be rewritten and what can be salvaged, with evidence.
Root Cause Diagnosis
Delays are traced to their actual source: unclear scope, missing architecture, absent testing, staff turnover or governance, because each needs a different fix.
Stabilisation First
Before new features resume, we fix the build, restore environments, close critical defects and get a repeatable deployment working end to end.
Honest Re-estimation
Remaining scope is rebuilt from the code that actually exists, giving a timeline and budget based on measured velocity rather than the original plan.
Security and Data Review
Authentication, access control, secrets handling and data exposure are checked early, since stalled projects commonly ship with controls left unfinished or disabled.
Team Continuity
We can take delivery over completely, or work alongside the existing team with mentoring and code review until it can carry the work again.
Our Approach
How We Deliver
Audit
One to two weeks reviewing code, infrastructure, tickets and delivery history
Findings and Options
A written report with severity ratings and two recovery routes, each costed
Stabilise
Fix the build, environments and critical defects before any new scope starts
Re-plan and Deliver
Resume sprints against a revised backlog with measured velocity and weekly reporting

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does custom software development take?
A typical MVP takes 8-12 weeks. Full enterprise platforms run 4-6 months. Masarrati uses agile sprints with bi-weekly demos so you see progress from week one and can provide feedback early.
What is the cost of custom software development?
Costs depend on complexity, integrations, and team size. A focused MVP typically starts at $30K-$80K, while enterprise platforms range from $100K-$500K+. Masarrati provides detailed estimates after a free discovery session.
Do you offer fixed-price or time-and-materials contracts?
Both. Fixed-price works well for clearly scoped MVPs. Time-and-materials suits evolving projects where requirements may shift. Masarrati also offers dedicated team models for long-term engagements.
Can you take over an existing codebase or legacy system?
Yes. Masarrati regularly onboards legacy systems, conducts code audits, and executes modernization using a strangler fig approach — upgrading incrementally without downtime or disruption to users.
What technologies does Masarrati use for software development?
Masarrati works with React, Next.js, Node.js, Python, Go, Java, AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, and more. Technology choices are driven by your specific requirements, scalability needs, and team expertise.
How do you ensure code quality and security?
Every project includes automated testing (unit, integration, E2E), code reviews, CI/CD pipelines, static analysis, dependency scanning, and security audits. All projects start with NDA protection.
