Business Continuity

Your system doesn't depend on one person

Working with a small studio means speed, one accountable person, and no account managers. It also raises a fair question: what happens to your software if that person is suddenly unavailable? This page is the answer.

Home Continuation Guarantee

Every system Yellow Archer builds is set up so that a competent developer who has never seen it before can take it over in a day — not because they're clever, but because everything they need is written down, versioned, and kept current. That is not a promise made in an emergency; it is how the work is done every single day.

The four guarantees

01

Code lives in version control

Every project — including yours — is in a private Git repository with full history. Nothing exists only on a laptop or only in someone's head.

02

Documentation is kept current

Each project carries a live status file and machine-readable working notes, updated after every working session: where it runs, how to deploy it, what's in progress, and what to watch out for.

03

Standard, mainstream hosting

Systems run on standard infrastructure — managed cloud hosting, mainstream databases, ordinary DNS. No exotic setup that only one person can operate.

04

Named people, standing instructions

Two named people hold standing instructions and know where access lives. If needed, they can hand your source code, documentation and accounts to you or to a successor developer.

If you can't reach me

What they can do for you

Sannette and Amber can put you in direct contact with your project's source code and documentation, arrange an orderly handover to a developer of your choosing, and make sure hosting and domain accounts end up in your hands. Your system, your data, your accounts — that has been the arrangement from day one.

In short: you hired one developer, but you were never betting on one heartbeat.
