The project is late. The story around it is worse.

Rescue is not a rebrand of “we will finish whatever you have.” It is a short, senior intervention: stabilize what is running, say what is actually left, then finish a slice you can put in production or confidently kill.

If production is down or data is at risk, say that in the first sentence of the form. This page is for delivery failure, not emergency incident response as a 24/7 SOC.

You are probably in rescue territory if

Dates have moved twice and nobody believes the third date.

The vendor reports activity. You cannot see a product a user could complete.

The original team left, and the repository is a rumor.

Scope is still growing because saying no has no owner.

QA is a final surprise rather than a weekly fact.

A controlled sequence, not a heroic rewrite

1

Access and freeze.

Repositories, environments, credentials, current backlog, and who can decide.

2

Stabilize.

Anything unsafe in production gets a short, boring fix list. We do not “improve” a burning kitchen.

3

Truth memo.

What is built, what is broken, what was never started, and what the remaining work actually is.

4

Rescue slice.

One production outcome with acceptance criteria and a date.

5

Handover or continue.

You keep the product. You can stay with Suraket for the next slice or take it inside.

We will not take over a project if you cannot appoint one decision-maker or cannot give repository access.

Rescue without those two things is theatre.

Selected rescue work

US-based operations company

A vendor MVP that never reached “done”

A company paid for an operations MVP for the better part of a year. Demos showed screens. Staff still lived in spreadsheets. Acceptance had never been written down, so every week added “small” items.

Services firm piloting document intake

An AI pilot stuck in a notebook

A promising classification pilot lived in a data-science environment. Operations still emailed PDFs around. Nobody owned production: auth, audit, fallback, or cost.
