Making progress is slow
Early progress was fast. Now even small changes are painfully slow.
We help research teams make their software easier to trust.
If changes feel risky, results are hard to validate, or the codebase keeps slowing the team down, we start with a technical review and show you what to fix first.
Send a short note about the project and the main pain points. If it looks like a fit, we schedule a 30-minute call.
Research-heavy teams
Academic labs, R&D groups, scientific computing teams, and deep tech startups.
4-6 week review
Focused review of structure, tests, interfaces, reproducibility and dependencies .
Written report
Prioritized findings, concrete recommendations, and a walkthrough call.
When the codebase is getting in the way.
Low confidence in the code
The code produced results, but the team is not fully sure which parts can be trusted.
Environments break in surprising ways
Dependency updates or switching to another machine stalls researchers through hours of debugging.
The workflow is full of hidden steps
Useful work depends on knowledge that lives in scattered notes, local scripts, and one person's memory.
Technical codebase review for scientific software
In 4-6 weeks, we review the parts of your codebase that slow the team down or make results hard to trust: structure, tests, interfaces, reproducibility, dependencies, and onboarding flow.
You receive a written report with prioritized findings, concrete recommendations, and a clear distinction between urgent fixes, useful improvements, and things that can safely wait.
What we review
- Code structure and interface design
- Testing suite
- Documentation quality
- Reproducibility, environments, and dependency risk
What you receive
- Written report with prioritized findings
- Concrete recommendations
- A walkthrough call to discuss the findings
After the review
Some teams only need the report. Others want help applying it.
Refactoring and testing guidance
Support with applying changes, improving tests, and reducing code risk in the weak spots that matter.
Software surgery
We solve the concrete engineering problems that came out of the review.
Training
Sessions for researchers and engineers who write and maintain code, especially around testing, reproducibility, and maintainability.
Why trust us with research software?
Bridging the gap between research scripts and production software is where we thrive.
- Over a decade of experience working on scientific software.
- From single-paper projects to large codebases.
- Experience across a wide range of domains, including quantum computing, HPC, optimization, computational geometry and more.

Send a short note
Describe the project, the team, and the main pain points.
30-minute call
We discuss the codebase, the constraints, and whether a review is the right first step.
We start with the review
If it makes sense, we begin with the codebase review and then decide what should happen after that.
