§ For new ctos

Maintenance for the CTO who just inherited the codebase.

You started Monday. The codebase has been running for years. You know roughly what it does and almost nothing about how. The CEO wants a 30-day plan, the board wants a technical-debt assessment, and your two engineers are heads-down on the next release. Kebehut is the way to produce a real written map of what you own — in month one, not month nine.

§ What worries this audience

Three things you're probably already feeling.

  1. Being asked 'what's our technical debt?' and not having a real, evidence-backed answer
  2. Inheriting brittleness you don't know exists until it breaks in week three
  3. Setting priorities without a written record of what the codebase actually contains

§ Pilot fit

How a pilot is shaped for you.

Recommended tier Basic 60€ / month

Basic is the right shape from day one: monthly written reports that double as your own onboarding into the codebase, plus an answer to every leadership question that starts with 'how is the engineering org doing?'. Stay on Basic as long as it stays useful; bump to Pro for the month you decide to act on the highest-priority item, then drop back.

First month — what lands in your inbox

  • A written codebase inventory you can use directly in a board update
  • Dependency and architectural risk ranking — what's actually brittle, not just old
  • A short action list sized to one engineer-sprint, with expected outcomes
  • A rebuild-ready spec — useful both for planning and for the next CTO after you

§ FAQ

Questions, briefly answered.

I just started. Can month 1 begin this week?
Yes. You don't need to know the codebase — you only need to give us access. The first month's report is built to be the thing that gets you up to speed, not something that requires you to be up to speed already.
How do I show this to my new CEO?
Pass the monthly report straight through. We write reports in plain English with the technical specifics in parentheses, exactly so non-engineer leaders can read them. The first report is also the cheapest 'technical debt assessment' you'll ever buy.
What about a presentation for the board?
The monthly report is structured for that exactly — a short summary, a ranked risk register, and a 'what we'd do next' action list. If you want one slide built from it, ask in the same email; we'll do it once for free as part of a pilot.
