We Took Our Own 181-Module Drupal Site to Drupal 11
We ran Gate 1 analysis on our own Drupal site: 181 modules, eight years of custom code, 3,133 deprecation notices, then took it to Drupal 11.4 with visual regression passing end to end. The same engine prices your upgrade before a single line changes: fixed cost, fixed date, evidence attached. Scan your site free, production untouched.
