It works. Every change ships slower than the last.

The system is in production and earning. Delivery is slowing anyway, and someone on the team is saying rewrite. Both instincts, patch harder and start over, are usually wrong in opposite directions.

I read the code and trace one real change end to end: from ticket to deploy, through every review, meeting and system it touches. What actually slows you down gets named in writing, with the evidence attached, so you can check the claim against your own repository instead of taking my word for it.

Sequenced steps, smallest reversible change first, each one priced and each one shippable on its own. A big-bang rewrite has to argue its way in against that list. It is never the default.

I implement the first steps alongside your engineers rather than leaving a document behind. The point is not the fix. It is that your team has done the next one with me in the room.

Decisions written down where the code lives. One bottleneck removed end to end. And a team that owns the roadmap because they helped build it.
