Every codebase accumulates problems over time — architectural shortcuts, untested components, security oversights, and configuration practices that make deployments fragile. A second set of experienced eyes can surface what's been normalized away. Amplitude Point reviews your codebase and delivers a clear, honest written report: what the problems are, how serious they are, and what to do about them.

Who This Is For

This review is a good fit for any of these situations:

• A CTO or tech lead who has inherited a codebase and wants an honest outside assessment before making decisions
• A team preparing to scale or bring on new developers who needs to understand the current state first
• A company that has received code from a vendor and wants to validate it before going live
• A team after a period of rapid feature development that has accumulated significant technical debt
• Anyone who wants a grounded, specific answer to "how bad is this, really?"

What the Review Covers

• Code Organization & Maintainability – How well the codebase is structured, how readable and navigable it is, and how easy it would be for a new developer to work in it
• Architecture & Dependencies – Whether the architecture supports the system's needs, where coupling is a problem, and which dependencies introduce risk
• Performance & Reliability Risks – Patterns likely to cause slowness, crashes, or failures under load or in edge conditions
• Security Concerns – Common vulnerability patterns (injection, authentication weaknesses, insecure configuration, sensitive data exposure) reviewed against practical risk
• Deployment & Configuration Practices – How the application is built, configured, and deployed — and where those practices are fragile or risky
• Recommended Priorities – A clear ranking of findings by severity and business impact so your team knows where to start

Technologies We Work With

What You Receive

• Written Findings Report – A clear document you can share with your team, organized by category
• Severity-Ranked Issue List – Every finding rated by severity and business impact so nothing important is buried
• Specific Recommendations – Actionable guidance for each finding, not generic best-practice advice
• Suggested Action Plan – A practical starting point for addressing the issues in order of priority

How This Differs from a Full Legacy System Assessment

The codebase review is a defined, fixed-price engagement focused on the code as it exists today. It does not include recovering lost build processes, documenting undocumented business logic, mapping full system dependencies, or producing a modernization roadmap.

If your situation involves a system that the business depends on but no longer fully understands — where institutional knowledge has been lost and the path forward is unclear — the Legacy System Assessment & Modernization Roadmap is likely the better fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a codebase and architecture review?

A focused, fixed-price technical engagement where an experienced developer reviews your codebase and delivers a written findings report covering code organization, architecture, performance risks, security concerns, and deployment practices — with specific, prioritized recommendations.

How is this different from the Legacy System Assessment?

The codebase review is a smaller, more focused engagement that analyzes the code as it exists today. The Legacy System Assessment is suited to systems that are no longer well-understood — it includes recovering lost system knowledge, documenting business processes, mapping dependencies, and producing a full modernization roadmap.

What technologies do you review?

ASP.NET (WebForms and MVC), C#, VB.NET, WinForms, Windows Services, console applications, React, JavaScript and jQuery frontends, and SQL Server-backed applications.

What do I receive at the end?

A written findings report with issues organized by category and prioritized by severity and business impact, along with specific recommendations for each finding and a suggested action plan.
