What I Do

If your business runs on Odoo, the part most likely to fail quietly is usually the custom modules, built by a partner or freelancer and owned by nobody on staff. Every tier above covers them at the same fixed prices. I read the modules, I don't run them, and nothing in your Odoo database is touched or changed.

• A rule that only holds in the form. Odoo skips form-level checks on imports, the API and scheduled actions, so bad data comes in through the side door and nobody sees it arrive.
• Values that quietly go stale. A stored field worked out from other fields is only recalculated when the fields it lists change. Leave one off and the value goes stale whenever that one changes: no error, no failed test, just a report that slowly stops matching the data.
• Settings every upgrade puts back. Data a module ships without protecting it is reset to the module's default on each upgrade, including the values your team tuned by hand.
• Dates a day out. The Odoo server works in UTC and your business doesn't, so a date taken from the server's clock can land on the wrong day.
• Upgrading to Odoo 19? From version 19, old-style database constraints are no longer created. Odoo notes it in one startup log line, and a rule like "no two customers with the same reference" simply stops existing on upgrade day. Finding them first is a Starter or Reliability Review in its own right.

How it is done: I scan the modules with Nexa, the Odoo checker I build and maintain, and read every finding myself before it reaches your report. The scan runs on my own machine and sends your code to no scanning service; anything AI-assisted is covered under How I work, below.

On the Odoo community's own open-source modules, of the findings I read by hand in September 2026, 83 were real problems, 6 were false alarms, and 7 needed more than one file to decide. Fixes are never made in your live system, always in a copy you control.

What keeps a small business owner up at night is not knowing who to ask when something breaks at five o'clock on a Friday. Once we have done a piece of work together, this keeps me on call for you by the month. I already know your setup, so you are not paying someone to learn it from scratch in the middle of a bad week.

• £200 a month: a monthly pass over your configuration and guardrails to confirm they still hold, a short note on anything that has drifted, and emergencies triaged the same working day, with anything under an hour just done.
• £450 a month: all of the above, plus up to half a day of hands-on work each month on one task you name and we scope before I start, and I am reachable live during agreed hours when something is actually on fire.
• That half day is a specific job agreed in advance (close this finding, add this check, fix this report), not an open afternoon of troubleshooting that finishes nothing.
• A month you don't use isn't lost. Unused time rolls over and stays banked while your cover runs, and every monthly note shows the balance. If it grows into a block, we schedule it properly rather than squeezing it into an unplanned week. It stays yours either way.
• Where you land in the band depends on how much cover you need, agreed before the month starts and reviewed whenever your setup changes. Quiet months move you down, not up.
• Retainer clients come first when my week is full: your job is scheduled ahead of new inquiries.
• Everything I already know about your setup stays loaded, including the findings from our earlier work.

What an emergency means here: I stop what I am doing and look at yours first, and you get a straight answer that day on whether it is a five-minute thing or a real job, even when the honest answer is that it isn't mine to fix. It is not a 24-hour rota: I am one engineer, and I won't sell a promise I cannot keep at three in the morning.

Day to day runs over email, so nothing gets lost. Anything bigger than the cover is quoted separately at a fixed price, and you can cancel on 14 days' notice.
