Introductory Offer

Start with an orientation report.

If you inherited an Access database and are not sure how serious the problem is, Avestris can provide a practical first read: what is inside, which parts appear business-critical, what evidence is missing, what looks risky, and what to do next.

$49pilot price

The first paid product is a bounded field guide, not a rebuild.

Pilot availability is currently focused on United States customers. International requests may be considered manually before payment or file intake.

Tell us the story

Answer in ordinary office language. Blank answers are fine. These notes help the report understand the situation around the file, not just the Access objects inside it.

What kind of organization is this?

If "other," what would you call it?

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. The report length depends on the database; the goal is useful orientation, not a fixed page count.

Safety boundary

After checkout, Avestris sends a secure upload path for up to five Access database files, which covers common split frontend/backend databases. Do not email databases, passwords, SSNs, bank data, medical records, or other secrets. If the file set contains sensitive production data, note that in the intake form so the report can preserve the right handling boundary.

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.
