Micro-Proof: Legacy Stabilized
Modernization worked because stabilization came first.
You can’t migrate chaos safely.
Risk containment
Legacy rescue
Safe replatforming
Reality Check™ Summary
Situation: A mission-critical ASP application was unstable, failing repeatedly, and holding key business data on an aging stack.
Reality Check™: The risk wasn’t modernization — it was attempting to migrate an unstable system without first protecting data and continuity.
Intervention: Stabilized backups and recovery processes, documented failure points, then systematically replatformed to Django/MySQL with improved reporting and reliability.
Result: Operational risk dropped immediately, data was secured, and the business transitioned to a modern stack without disruption.
