Code Doctor - fix #techdebt broken Products

As an Innovator, I've identified critical challenges in the industry's entry, execution, and exit phases. Companies often struggle with hiring costs/delays, managing complex processes, and to achieve consistent production performance. 

This is evident in the industry average of successful projects and products being less than 30%, with over 90% of startups failing, and total technical debt ever growing to trillions of $.

To handle such challenges, I've introduced and successfully practiced an upstream innovation role: CodeDoctorship. This simple new role ensures that the hired team gets onboard rapidly and that team committed code meets the required cleancode standards without extra time. 

I have been implementing CodeDoctorship in more than 160+ instances of software firefighting, it has increased project success rates by over 70%. This approach handles code complexity and poor engineering practices, junior skill gaps without demotivating developers, as they view CodeDoctorship inputs as a WhiteBox QA team support provided by the system to improve code health for NFRs.

If this innovation resonates with your situation of fire and you're looking to detox and destress, feel free to reach out to me.
