Question 1

My software vendor is not delivering — what should I do?

Accepted Answer

If your software vendor is consistently missing deadlines, delivering poor quality, or going silent — you're not stuck. Start by documenting every unmet commitment and securing access to your codebase, repositories, and cloud infrastructure. Then get an independent codebase audit to understand exactly where things stand. At Baaz, over 50% of our projects begin exactly this way: a company reaches out after a bad vendor experience, and we take over mid-project without requiring a restart. A free codebase health audit will tell you what's salvageable and what it takes to get back on track.

Question 2

How do I switch software development companies mid-project?

Accepted Answer

Switching software vendors mid-project is more common than most people think — and far less risky than continuing with a vendor that isn't delivering. The key steps: (1) Secure full access to your code repositories, cloud accounts, and documentation before terminating. (2) Get an independent codebase audit to assess the current state. (3) Choose a partner with proven mid-project takeover experience — not one that will pressure you to rebuild from scratch. At Baaz, we've built a systematic handoff process that recovers context even when the previous vendor left nothing behind.

Question 3

How do I know if my software project is failing?

Accepted Answer

Warning signs include: deadlines consistently missed by weeks or months, vague progress updates with no working demos, developer churn where new people keep joining and leaving, ballooning costs with no proportional output, features that break existing functionality, and a growing feeling that you have no visibility into what's actually happening. Industry data shows 70% of IT initiatives fail to achieve their goals, and 31% are abandoned entirely. If you recognize three or more of these signs, your project likely needs a structured rescue — not more of the same.

Question 4

Can you really take over a project midway without starting from scratch?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and this is what we do best. Over 50% of our projects are mid-project takeovers. We've built a systematic process for reverse-engineering context from existing codebases, even when documentation is poor or non-existent. We evaluate what's salvageable, stabilize the foundation, and continue building from there. Starting from scratch is the last resort, not the default.

Question 5

What if the previous vendor left behind a messy, undocumented codebase?

Accepted Answer

That's the norm, not the exception. We use automated analysis tools combined with manual code review to map dependencies, understand architecture decisions, and identify critical issues. We've successfully recovered projects where the previous vendor left zero documentation and even deleted their access credentials. Poor documentation is not a blocker for us — it's the starting condition of most rescues.

Question 6

How long does it take to stabilize a stalled software project?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the state of the codebase, but our typical stabilization phase is 2–6 weeks. In the first 72 hours, we complete a comprehensive audit and identify all critical blockers. Within the first two weeks, we resolve deployment issues and critical bugs. By week four to six, you have a stable foundation ready for new feature development. Projects that have been stalled for months often see their first production deployment within the first month of our engagement.

Question 7

How is Baaz different from other agencies that offer project rescue?

Accepted Answer

Three things: (1) We default to preserving your existing work — most agencies push for a full rewrite because it's easier and more billable. (2) We've done this at scale — 50% of our portfolio consists of rescued projects, so our processes are battle-tested, not theoretical. (3) Full transparency — you get direct access to engineers, shared project boards, and weekly strategy calls. No account managers as middlemen. We also won't charge you a discovery fee to tell you what's wrong — the initial codebase audit is free.

Question 8

What does the free codebase audit include?

Accepted Answer

We analyze architecture quality, code maintainability, security vulnerabilities, test coverage, deployment pipeline health, and technical debt levels. You receive a detailed report with a go/no-go recommendation, an estimated rescue timeline, and a prioritized action plan. No obligation, no sales pitch — just an honest assessment of whether your project is worth rescuing and exactly what it will take.

Question 9

Will I retain full ownership of my codebase and IP?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Your code, your infrastructure, your intellectual property — always. We work in your repositories, your cloud accounts, and your project management tools. When we're done, everything stays with you. No lock-in, no proprietary dependencies. We've seen vendors hold code hostage — we do the exact opposite.

Question 10

What if the audit reveals the project should be rebuilt from scratch?

Accepted Answer

We'll tell you honestly. If the codebase is beyond rescue — security is fundamentally compromised, the architecture can't scale, or the cost of fixing exceeds rebuilding — we'll recommend a rebuild and explain exactly why. But in our experience, full rebuilds are rarely necessary. Most projects have significant salvageable components that save 40–70% of the time and cost compared to starting over.

Question 11

What technologies and frameworks do you work with for project rescue?

Accepted Answer

We're technology-agnostic. We've rescued projects built on React, Angular, Vue, Next.js, Node.js, Python, Django, Ruby on Rails, .NET, Java, Go, and more. Our takeover process adapts to your existing stack — we don't force migrations to technologies we prefer. Whatever your previous vendor built it on, we can pick it up.
