Start with an orientation report.
If you inherited an Access database and are not sure how serious the problem is, Avestris can provide a short first read: what you appear to have, what looks risky, what information is missing, and what to do next.
The first paid product is clarity, not a rebuild.
Pilot availability is currently focused on United States customers. International requests may be considered manually before payment or file intake.
- Checklist answers
- Business function description
- User count and pain point
- Redacted screenshots if useful
- One-to-two-page report
- Visible risk classification
- Missing information list
- Recommended next step
- Raw database inspection
- Repair or debugging
- Migration plan
- Legal/accounting advice
Why not start with a full rebuild quote?
Because nobody should quote a replacement for a system they do not understand. Many Access systems are a mixture of data, forms, reports, queries, linked files, habits, and undocumented business rules.
An orientation report helps decide whether the next step is self-guided cleanup, fixed-scope triage, stabilization, migration planning, or no paid work right now.
Safety boundary
Do not send sensitive production databases for this introductory report. Start with facts, redacted screenshots, and the checklist. If a deeper technical inspection is justified, Avestris will arrange a secure intake path.
During the pilot, the orientation report price can be credited against a follow-on triage engagement purchased within thirty days. Follow-on work is optional and never automatic.
Possible recommendations
- No paid work appears necessary right now.
- Create backups and complete the free checklist first.
- Proceed to a fixed-scope triage memo.
- Proceed to a stabilization report because the system appears business-critical or fragile.
- Consider migration/replacement planning after evidence is collected.
- Decline or custom consult if the request is outside the offer boundary.
- Hand this report to your own technician or another vendor if that is the best fit.
