01 / Recovery and launch

Recover a web project that is slipping.

A delivery audit, a documented recovery plan and hands-on execution through to launch, while your client relationship stays intact.

What you get

An honest picture of where the project stands
A documented recovery plan
A launch date you can defend

02 / The first three days

Before anything gets fixed, it gets diagnosed.

A rescue starts with the truth. Nothing useful happens until everyone is looking at the same picture.

Day 01

See the real state

Work in progress reviewed against what was promised, with the people building it, not just the status report.

Output: an honest picture
Day 02

Write it down

Current state, goal state, gaps, risks and dependencies captured in one document everyone can read.

Output: a shared document
Day 03

Put a plan in front of the client

A route to launch with milestones and dates your agency can defend, ready to share.

Output: a plan with dates

In the UK agency rescue, the documented plan was ready in three days and the build went live four weeks later.

03 / The audit

Six things I look at, in this order.

Most slipping projects have several problems at once. The order matters, because fixing the wrong one first wastes the time you do not have.

Work done against work reportedWhat exists in the build, compared with what the status updates have been saying.
Code, environments and accessWhether the team can actually deploy, test and release without heroics.
Scope against the contractWhat was sold, what has crept in since, and which of it is genuinely required to launch.
Team and capacityWho is available, what they are good at, and where the real bottleneck sits.
Client expectationsWhat the client believes is happening, and how far that is from reality.
Dependencies and third partiesContent, approvals, integrations and anyone outside the team who can block a date.

04 / Possible outcomes

Three answers, and you get the real one.

A rescue is worth nothing if the diagnosis is shaped to win the work. These are the only three outcomes.

Outcome 01

Finish it as planned

The work is closer than it looks. Sequence, ownership and priorities fix it, and the original scope still stands.

You hear this whenThe team is capable and the problem is coordination.
Outcome 02

Re-plan, then finish

The date or the scope has to move. You get the honest version, plus how to take it to your client without losing them.

You hear this whenThe promise was bigger than the timeline ever allowed.
Outcome 03

Stop and rebuild

Rare, and never the opening pitch. If the foundation cannot carry the project, you get that with reasons and numbers.

You hear this whenFixing costs more than starting again.

05 / What changes

What your client notices first.

Recovery shows up in communication before it shows up in a launch date. That is usually what saves the account.

Faraz had a documented plan inside three days, and we were shipping again within the month.

Faraz had a documented plan inside three days, and we were shipping again within the month. He ran it all under our name so cleanly that our clients only noticed that the work started arriving on time.

08 / FAQ

Questions rescue clients ask.

It depends on the size of the project. In the UK agency rescue, the documented plan was ready in three days.

09 / Related services

Often combined with this.

Most engagements mix one way of working with one or two things I build.
