Diagnose the system before rebuilding it
We trace market data, decisions, transaction construction, submission and confirmation as one pipeline. The review distinguishes strategy assumptions from engineering failures such as stale state, duplicate orders, incorrect decimal handling, weak retry logic and misleading P&L calculations.
Where access permits, findings include reproducible examples, severity, affected components and recommended remediation. Implementation can be scoped separately after the client reviews the report.
Delivery and operational boundaries
TierZero provides software engineering, testing, documentation and deployment support. The client controls its infrastructure, accounts, credentials, wallets and product decisions. We do not custody client or end-user assets, transmit funds on a client's behalf, operate customer trading accounts, recommend specific investments or guarantee financial results. Production use remains subject to the client's legal, compliance and risk review.
Technical scope
What we design and verify
A production trading bot audit & rescue is more than a working demo. Each major component below is scoped around the target network or platform, expected load, failure conditions and the way your team will operate it after handover.
Architecture and code review
This part of Trading Bot Audit & Rescue is specified as a separate, testable component with acceptance criteria, logging and documented configuration rather than hidden hard-coded behavior.
RPC, execution and data-flow diagnostics
Submission and execution logic includes simulation, configurable limits, explicit failure states and structured logs. Production credentials and signing authority remain separated from application logic.
Key-handling and access-control review
Wallet and account workflows use scoped permissions, explicit transaction review points and client-controlled secrets. Seed phrases are never required for ordinary development access.
P&L and reconciliation checks
Delivery includes repeatable setup instructions and a handover path for client-owned infrastructure, so operation does not depend on permanent access by TierZero.
Written findings with prioritized fixes
This part of Trading Bot Audit & Rescue is specified as a separate, testable component with acceptance criteria, logging and documented configuration rather than hidden hard-coded behavior.
Definition of done
Before delivery, we validate the agreed happy path, expected failures and operational controls. You receive the applicable source code, configuration reference, deployment instructions and a walkthrough of the system. Any third-party fees, infrastructure subscriptions or external dependencies are identified during scoping.
Delivery
How the engagement works
Technical discovery
We confirm the objective, constraints, integrations and acceptance criteria.
Architecture & scope
You receive milestones, responsibilities, timeline and the final quote.
Build & verification
Implementation is tested against the agreed scenarios with visible progress.
Handover & support
We deploy or hand over the code, documentation and operating instructions.
Built for production
Scope, security and ownership
Delivery model
The engagement starts with evidence gathering and ends with prioritized, implementable recommendations.
Security baseline
Access is time-limited and findings are delivered privately with clear severity and remediation guidance.
What we need from you
The system boundary, current architecture, known risks and the decisions the review needs to support.
Questions before you start
What is included in the Trading Bot Audit & Rescue starting price?+
The $1,500 figure is a starting point. We confirm the exact scope, integrations, acceptance criteria and fixed quote before work begins. The listed deliverables are included unless the agreed proposal says otherwise.
How long does delivery take?+
Timing depends on integrations, testing depth and whether existing code is involved. After a short technical discovery, we provide milestones and a delivery estimate before payment.
Who controls the source code, infrastructure and keys?+
The agreed source code and deployment are handed over to the client. Production wallets, seed phrases and private keys remain client-controlled; we design integrations around scoped credentials and least-privilege access.
Do you guarantee trading profits or a specific return?+
No. We build software and execution infrastructure, not guaranteed-return products. Results depend on strategy, competition, liquidity, fees and market conditions. Testing, simulation and explicit risk controls should precede live capital.
Can you work with our existing code or infrastructure?+
Yes. We can begin with a focused review, identify reusable components and propose the smallest safe implementation path instead of forcing a full rebuild.
