Production-readiness audit

You built it with AI. Now let's make it safe to launch.

Your app works in the demo. Then real users show up, and login gets flaky, payments don't quite go through, and you're not sure it's secure. Start with an audit. A production engineer tells you, in plain English, what's broken, what it means for you, and the fastest path to live.

Read-only access is fine. If it turns out to be a small fix, I'll tell you. No upsell.

It worked in the demo. Then you tried to launch.

That is when it shows up. Login gets flaky. Payments don't quite go through. And you're not sure it's safe to put in front of real users.

You're right to wonder. AI-built apps tend to break in the same hidden places: customer data left exposed, orders that complete without ever charging the card, security holes you'd never spot from the outside. Maybe you've already been told it needs a full rebuild, or been quoted six figures by someone who never really understood what you were building.

You probably don't need a rebuild. You need to know what's actually wrong.

So why trust me with it?

Because I build production software with AI myself, and mine is live. I don't just prompt and hope. I work through a disciplined process I call DIRECT (Define, Instruct, Review, Execute, Confirm, Track), which is why these hold up with real users:

A real estate CRM.

Multi-tenant security, 36 database constraints, 13 intelligence models, a county data scraper, 11 of 11 tests passing. In production.

A creator economy platform.

Stripe subscriptions across four billing types, custom domains, digital product delivery, booking with calendar sync. Built test-first from day one.

The things breaking your app are the things I've shipped, and fixed, in my own code. I'm not guessing.

Stack: Django, Python, PostgreSQL, Stripe, nginx, gunicorn, Hetzner. Built and tested the way production software is supposed to be.

How it works

1

Send me your app.

A link to the code (read-only is fine), the live version, and a few words on where it's stuck.

2

I review it like a production engineer.

Security, payments, data, deploys. The places AI quietly gets wrong.

3

You get a straight verdict and a clear path to launch.

Every problem in plain English, what it means for you, and the fastest way to live.

What does it cost to actually fix it?

Fair question, and here is the honest answer. After the audit, I give you a fixed quote, no surprises. As a rough guide:

  • A single blocking issue: from $2,000
  • Fully production-ready (security, payments, deploys, a real QA pass): $4,000 to $9,000
  • A full rebuild, if you're genuinely starting over: from $12,000

Your audit fee is credited toward the fix if you move forward. And if it turns out to be a small fix, I'll say so. No upsell.

See exactly what you'll receive

The audit isn't a vague list of opinions. It's a clear, written report: every issue ranked by how badly it can hurt you, explained in plain English, with the fix and the order to tackle it in. You'll know what to do next, whether you do it yourself or hand it to me.

Questions people ask before they book

What exactly do I get from the audit?
A clear written verdict on whether your app is launch-ready, every problem found explained in plain English (what it means for you, not just the code), and the fastest path to fix it. With the higher tiers, a live walkthrough and a step-by-step launch plan.
What does it cost to actually fix my app?
After the audit I give you a fixed quote. As a rough guide: a single blocking issue starts at $2,000, fully production-ready runs $4,000 to $9,000, and a full rebuild starts at $12,000. Your audit fee is credited toward the fix.
What if it's just a small fix?
Then I'll tell you, and I'll tell you how to do it. I would rather you trust me with the next project than be upsold on this one.
Is my code and data safe with you?
Yes. Read-only access is all I need to audit, everything stays confidential, and I'll sign an NDA on request.
What kinds of AI-built apps do you work on?
Apps built with Lovable, Cursor, Replit, Bolt, Claude, and similar tools. If it works in the demo but breaks, stalls, or scares you before launch, that's the kind of thing I fix.
How long does the audit take?
Usually a few days. You'll know where you stand quickly, not weeks from now.

Let's get your app live: secure, stable, and actually taking payments.

Start with the audit. In a few days you'll know exactly where you stand and exactly what to do next.
