NSK Numerics, where one truncated column changes the answer
A scientific-computing consultancy that audits, modernises, and accelerates legacy Fortran code without losing track of the numbers.
Field notes
The practice focuses on numerical failure modes that can survive compilation, including fixed-form Fortran truncation that silently changes a variable name and result. Its accompanying fortran-audit tool is described as pure Python, dependency-free, MIT-licensed, and built around 21 checks. The page also lays out three bounded engagement types, with indicative durations for audits, modernisation, and performance work rather than an open-ended hourly model.
