Question 1

You are a new firm. Why should I trust you with this?

Accepted Answer

We are new, and we would rather say so than hide it. We have no client roster to show you. What we offer instead is a small first step that costs you little (a free 30-minute Triage), a written guarantee on the assessment, and three live products (PDFCourt, ShuffleTurn and Klaveno) that Aventheon builds and operates. Start small and judge the work.

Question 2

Who actually does the work?

Accepted Answer

One accountable lead owns every engagement, and the delivery is done by a lead plus vetted senior contractors working under our review. Contractors sign IP assignment and confidentiality terms before they touch your code. You will always know who is accountable, and you get your own access to everything.

Question 3

What does the guarantee on the assessment cover?

Accepted Answer

The assessment delivers a written roadmap: risks, a staged plan and a fixed quote. If we do not deliver that roadmap, you get the assessment fee back. If you go ahead with an Upgrade Sprint, the fee is credited against it.

Question 4

Why not just rewrite it?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes a rewrite is right, and the assessment will tell you if so. Often it is not, because a rewrite throws away years of working behavior and puts everything at risk on one cutover date. Staged upgrades keep the app running, with tests proving each step.

Question 5

What stacks do you work in?

Accepted Answer

Next.js and React on the front end and Python (Flask and Django) on the back end. We do not claim depth in COBOL, mainframes, or platforms like Salesforce, and we will tell you straight away if your stack is outside what we can do well.

Question 6

How do you price the work?

Accepted Answer

The assessment starts at $2,500. Upgrade Sprints are quoted after the assessment, as a fixed price for a defined version target, so you know the number before work begins. Care Plans are quoted monthly. We do not run open-ended hourly engagements.

Question 7

What does a sprint include?

Accepted Answer

A defined version target, tests added first, the upgrade in small steps, a rollback plan, and handoff docs. A sprint runs 2 to 6 weeks depending on the size of the codebase.

Question 8

Do you do AI work?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as a supporting line. AI features are easier to add safely to software that has tests and current dependencies, so they usually come after or alongside a modernization. We will tell you if AI is the wrong tool for the problem.

Question 9

What if you become unreachable after I pay?

Accepted Answer

You own your repository and credentials throughout, and every engagement ends with handoff docs. Nothing is held back as leverage, so your software stays in your hands whatever happens to us.

Dimension	Typical rewrite or agency	Aventheon
Approach	Propose a full rewrite and a long cutover	Staged upgrades, each one shippable and reversible
Proof it still works	Manual testing near the end	Tests written first, so behavior is checked at every step
Scope and price	Open-ended estimate that grows with discovery	Assessment first, then a fixed quote for a defined version target
If something goes wrong	Fix forward and hope	A rollback plan written before anything ships
Who does the work	Sold by a partner, staffed by whoever is free	One accountable lead and vetted senior engineers, reviewed by us
Access and ownership	Code and logins held by the vendor	Your repo, your credentials, handoff docs at the end
Track record	A long client list you cannot check	A new firm that runs three live products of its own, so you can check the work
