The brief
What this program is, in plain language.
Pre-product-market-fit teams cannot afford to refactor everything they wish they had built differently. This three-week intensive teaches a disciplined triage method, from a written debt log to a quarterly retire-or-park decision, in collaboration with an outside reviewer.
What is included
- A written technical debt log reviewed by an outside operator
- Three live sessions with structured exercises
- A retire-or-park decision tree calibrated to runway
- A weekly review template that prevents debt log rot
- One asynchronous follow-up at week six
Outcomes you can defend
- A reviewed and ranked debt log with quarterly cadence
- A retire-or-park decision rule grounded in your runway
- A weekly review ritual already on the calendar
Frequently asked, honestly answered
Is this an architecture review?
No. We focus on the operating practice of triage. Architecture is a separate program.
How is this different from a generic backlog cleanup?
The retire-or-park rule is grounded in remaining runway and a published prioritisation policy. Generic cleanups skip both.
Where it does not help
Mature platform teams with more than thirty engineers will find the templates too thin. The program is built for small teams.
From the cohort floor
I had been carrying four years of guilt about our auth service. The triage log gave me permission to park it for two more quarters and the data to defend that. Jin-young Pak · CTO · Fareglide
Brisk, opinionated, useful. I would not call it gentle. Tomas · survey
