Hire someone to untangle and document your codebase
The Build Studio at CEOism reads your entire codebase, maps it honestly, and leaves it understandable, at a price you name. This is for the repo nobody wants to touch: the one where every change breaks something else and the person who understood it is gone. We trace the real structure, name what is load-bearing and what is dead, refactor where it pays, and write the map down so the knowledge lives in the repo instead of in one head. You say your number; we tell you whether it buys a full untangle or a map plus the worst knots. We run this discipline on our own 47 live apps, because a studio this small survives only if every codebase stays readable.
The 60-second version
Somewhere in your codebase is the reason everything is slow. We find it.
We build it for you: we read the whole thing, map it honestly, and leave it understandable.
Your price, our build. ceoism.com/studio.
What you receive
- A written map of your codebase: modules, flows, and dependencies
- Dead code identified and removed with your sign-off
- The worst tangles refactored, with tests where they matter
- Documentation that lives in the repo, not in someone's memory
- A prioritized list of remaining debt, honest about what can wait
How it works
- 1
Tell us what you need
One email. Describe the thing in your own words, plain language is perfect, and say the number that feels fair to you.
- 2
We build, you watch it become real
We reply honestly with what your number gets, then we build. You see the live thing take shape, not a slide about it.
- 3
You name the price
The price you set is the price. When it ships, it is live on a real domain and it is yours: code, keys, everything.
Honest questions
- Will you break things while refactoring?
- We change behavior only with your sign-off, and we refactor behind tests where money or data is involved. Untangling means the app works the same but reads clean.
- What stack do you work with?
- We are strongest in TypeScript, Next.js, Node, and Postgres, and comfortable across most modern web stacks. If your stack is outside our depth, we say so before taking your money.
- Do you need production access?
- Usually just the repository to start. Read access to staging helps for verifying behavior, and we ask for production access only if the work truly requires it, in writing.
