Project Restoration from Nairobi, Kenya

Pick the project back up. Recover the investment. Ship.

Projects stall for all sorts of reasons: priorities move, a key developer moves on, or the build reaches a point where progress slows. Whatever the history, the work already done still holds value and the business need is still there. We focus on picking projects up mid-flight and bringing them to a working, maintainable state, so the investment you have already made starts returning.

What this means for your organization

The investment you have already made starts returning, with a working system and documentation your own team can maintain.

What We Do

Everything included in our Project Restoration service.

Rapid Technical Audit

Within 2 to 5 days of engagement we deliver a plain-English assessment of the codebase: what works, what needs attention, where the security and technical-debt risks sit, and what can be carried forward. Plain language, and a clear picture you can act on.

Critical Bug Fixing

We triage and fix the issues blocking your users or your launch first. This might mean data corruption bugs, authentication failures, broken payment flows, or performance problems making the app unusable. We prioritize by business impact.

Codebase Stabilization

After the critical fixes, we improve structural quality: adding test coverage, resolving dependency conflicts, fixing security vulnerabilities, and documenting how the system actually works. This is the foundation for sustainable development going forward.

Missing Feature Completion

Where features were left part-built, we complete them to production standard. We start by understanding what was intended, then finish it properly or replace it with an approach that serves the same goal.

Vendor & Contractor Transitions

Where a handover is incomplete, we help you recover what you need: reconstructing environments from backups, reverse-engineering undocumented integrations, and reclaiming access through your service providers.

Post-Restoration Continuity

Once the project is stable, you choose what happens next: your internal team takes over with our documentation, you engage us for ongoing development, or we run a Team as a Service arrangement. The choice stays yours.

Why Afriq Silicon

What makes our Project Restoration service different.

1

Scoped to the smallest effective fix

Our audit is priced fairly and scoped tightly. We look for the smallest intervention that gets you to a working, maintainable system, and we tell you which parts of the existing build are worth keeping. Salvaging what works is usually faster and cheaper than starting again.

2

We know the patterns to look for

Payment integrations that need local knowledge, systems that grew faster than their structure, projects paused part-way through: these are the situations project restoration deals with. We audit against these known patterns, which keeps our assessments thorough and our estimates realistic.

3

We document as we go

Every change we make is documented: why we made it, what we changed, and what the expected outcome is. By the end of a restoration you have a system your team can maintain from the documentation alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our Project Restoration service.

How do you handle situations where we don't have access to the original code?
We document what we can learn from the running system, its APIs, database, and deployed code, then help you recover access from hosting and version-control providers, reconstructing from scratch only in extreme cases.
How do you decide whether to fix the existing code or rewrite it?
We fix and refactor when the architecture is sound but recommend a targeted rewrite of the affected components when it is fundamentally broken, never a full rewrite lightly.
What if the original developer claims ownership of the code?
This is a legal question first, so we help you understand your contracts and connect you with counsel in your jurisdiction, and if you own the IP we can build a functionally equivalent replacement without infringing contested code.
How long does a typical project restoration take?
Stabilizing critical bugs typically takes 2 to 6 weeks and full restoration to a maintainable, documented state 2 to 4 months, with a realistic timeline given after the audit.
