Inherited a codebase nobody understands

Bought a small SaaS product six months ago and the original dev left zero documentation. Every time we touch something it breaks something else. Need software development services that are comfortable diving into unknown code without starting from scratch.

That situation is rough, inherited codebases with no documentation are a special kind of nightmare. Had something similar after acquiring a small tool where the previous dev had basically built everything in their head and left nothing behind. Every fix created two new bugs. Eventually found enterprise AI consulting  through a recommendation and what impressed me was they didn't immediately push for a rewrite just to bill more hours. They actually mapped out what existed first and worked from there. If you need a team comfortable with messy unknown code that's probably a good starting point.
