>>Right now the situation is that I have to rewrite some underlying things in app as general improvements and simply to make it more "well written" than it currently is.<<
I'm not trying to force my beliefs on you... but it sounds as if there are optimistic/pessimistic issues in the current app plus a need for transactions at the least. If this is so, then encapsulating the logic in a single trigger or method assists you in preparing for C/S. You should be able to do this easily as part of your improvements.
Let us know how you get on,

"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
