The service includes a free analysis, a fixed-price commitment with proportional payment, and a two-week warranty. The company targets developers whose AI-generated code has become unmaintainable as projects grow.", "body_md": "## Did that happen to you?\n\nYou have an AI-generated codebase that works, but adding a feature now takes days and breaks two other things? This happens to every vibecoded project past a certain size: the agent stops seeing the whole picture and starts duplicating code instead of finding it. We can help.\n\n## What we do?\n\n**We analyze your codebase for free.** If we don't think we\ncan help, we say so and you've lost nothing. If we can, you get a fixed price\nand a committed reduction target — something like \"100,000 lines down to\n35,000, same functionality.\"\n\n**Then we do one week of focused work.** Before touching\nanything, we sit down with you and write out exactly what your app does,\nscreen by screen, endpoint by endpoint. That checklist is our safety net and\nyours. Then we cut: the fourteen date formatters become one, the hand-rolled\nframework becomes a library, the duplicated logic collapses. Where the code is\nbeyond saving, we distil what it does and rebuild that part clean.\n\n**You keep everything.** The smaller codebase, the QA\nchecklist, and a set of guardrails — a CLAUDE.md, lint rules, CI checks —\nthat slow the slop down when you go back to building. Plus two weeks of\nwarranty: if we broke something that worked before, we fix it free.\n\nYes, we use Claude Code too. On a very short leash. The difference is thirty years of combined experience about what maintainable code looks like, and the agent doesn't get a vote.\n\n## What it costs?\n\n**One week. Three senior engineers. $10,000.** We commit to a\nreduction target up front, and you pay in proportion to how much of it we hit.\nPromised 50% and delivered only 20%? That's 40% of the target, so you pay\n$4,000. Hit the target or beat it, you pay full price.\n\nLines are counted by `scc`\n\n, non-blank and non-comment, and the\ncontract bans code golf. We don't win by deleting your comments or compressing\nyour code into something clever and unreadable.\n\n## We are not agents\n\n## Talk to us\n\nWe're real people and we'd rather talk than exchange forms. If the story\nabove sounds like your last three months, get in touch: [maciej@odra.dev](mailto:maciej@odra.dev).\n\nBring your repo.
