System stuck? $950 gets you a way out.

Appmerc's SuiteCRM/WordPress rescue assessment is $950 fixed — a senior engineer diagnoses your stalled or broken system and hands you a prioritized recovery plan you can act on with any team.

01 / THE PATIENTS

The situations we get called into.

// ABANDONED

The developer disappeared

Freelancer gone quiet, agency acquired, contractor moved on — and nobody left understands the system that runs your business.

// BROKEN

The upgrade went sideways

A PHP version bump, plugin update, or migration left the system half-working, and every fix seems to break something else.

// STALLED

The project never finished

Eighty percent done, invoiced at a hundred, and the last mile has been "next sprint" for a year.

// OPAQUE

Nobody knows what's in there

The system works — today — but there's no documentation, no source control, and no answer to "what happens if it stops?"

The deliverable

  • A senior engineer's diagnosis: what's actually broken, and what's merely ugly.
  • A risk picture: what could take you down tomorrow vs. what can wait.
  • A prioritized recovery plan with a realistic effort picture per step.
  • Written to be executable by any competent team — no lock-in.

If you want the recovery done by the people who mapped it, the plan doubles as a scoped quote — and ongoing stability fits a monthly retainer.

02 / QUESTIONS

Asked before booking.

What qualifies as a rescue?

A system that's stalled, broken, half-finished, or abandoned: the previous developer disappeared, the agency was acquired, an upgrade went sideways, or nobody left understands how it works. SuiteCRM, WordPress, and legacy PHP applications are the usual patients.

What do I get for $950?

A senior engineer's diagnosis and a written, prioritized recovery plan: what's actually broken, what's at risk, what to stabilize first, and a realistic effort picture for each step. It's written so you can act on it with any team.

How fast can you start?

Usually within days. If the system is actively down or bleeding, say so in your email — rush starts (under 48 hours) carry a 25% premium and jump the queue.

Will you do the recovery work too?

If you want us to, yes — the plan doubles as a scoped quote. But it's deliberately written to be executable by any competent team, so you're never locked in.

Stop guessing what's wrong with it.
