Your vendor says the project is 80% complete. Is it?
When a project is slipping, the hardest thing to get is an honest answer about where it actually stands. We assess the code, architecture and delivery independently — and tell you what is genuinely complete, what remains, and whether to continue, renegotiate, or replace.
“Your vendor says the project is 80% complete. Is it?”
The decisions this engagement is built to resolve.
- How complete is the project — really?
- How much effort genuinely remains?
- Is the vendor capable of finishing well?
- Should you continue, renegotiate, or replace?
Inside the engagement.
The areas we examine and the ground we cover on your behalf.
Code & project health
An independent review of the codebase's quality, maintainability and true state.
Architecture
Whether the architecture can carry the product to where it needs to go.
Security
The security posture as built, and the exposure it currently represents.
Performance
How the system behaves under realistic load, versus what was promised.
Documentation
What has actually been documented and handed over — and what hasn't.
Actual completion status
A grounded percentage-complete based on evidence, not the vendor's status deck.
Remaining effort
A realistic estimate of the work still required to reach acceptance.
Vendor performance
An objective read on whether the vendor can deliver from here.
Continuation / replacement recommendation
A clear recommendation to continue, restructure, or transition — with the reasoning.
Deliverables
- Independent project health assessment
- Evidence-based completion status
- Remaining-effort and cost-to-complete estimate
- Security and performance findings
- Vendor performance assessment
- A continue / renegotiate / replace recommendation
Outcomes
- 01You get an honest number to plan around.
- 02You stop paying for progress that isn't there.
- 03You make the continue-or-exit decision on evidence, calmly.
