Code Review

An independent, honest read on your codebase, and what to do about it.

Two Putti developers reading through a codebase together

A code review is an independent, expert read on the health of your codebase. Not sure whether your software is solid, or whether a build is heading for trouble? Putti's senior engineers review it independently and tell you the truth, in a prioritised, plain-English report you can actually act on.

What we assess

  • Architecture and code quality: is it built to last?
  • Security and data handling: where is the risk?
  • Maintainability and technical debt: what will slow you down?
  • Delivery risk and next steps: what matters most, and what can wait?

When you need it

  • You're about to invest in, acquire or take over a product.
  • A build feels off and you want an honest second opinion.
  • You've inherited code from another team or contractor.
  • You need technical due diligence before a decision.

Why teams choose Putti

It's the same honest assessment that begins every project rescue, available on its own when you just need clarity. As a New Zealand team that has delivered 100+ projects since 2010 with zero failures, and rescued 20+ others couldn't finish, we've seen what healthy and unhealthy codebases really look like.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is a code review service?

    A code review service is an independent, expert assessment of a software codebase, covering its architecture, code quality, security, maintainability and delivery risk, delivered as a clear, prioritised report. It tells you honestly what's solid, what's fragile and what to do next.

  • When should we get an independent code review?

    Common moments are before acquiring or investing in a product, when taking over code from another team or contractor, when a build feels like it's heading for trouble, or when you simply need confidence that what you own is sound. If you're unsure whether your codebase is healthy, that's the signal.

  • What do you actually assess?

    We assess architecture and code quality, security and data handling, maintainability and technical debt, and overall delivery risk, then give you a prioritised, plain-English list of what matters most and what can wait.

  • Will we get something we can act on?

    Yes. The output is a prioritised, plain-English report, not a wall of jargon, so technical and non-technical stakeholders can both understand the findings and make decisions from them.

  • Is this the same as a technical due diligence review?

    It's closely related. For investors and acquirers we run the same independent assessment as technical due diligence, focused on the risks that affect value: security, scalability, maintainability and how much work stands between the product and where it needs to be.

  • Where is Putti based?

    Putti is a New Zealand software company that has delivered more than 100 projects since 2010 with zero failures and rescued 20+ that others couldn't finish. That is the experience behind every review.
