The 48h rescue audit
Read-only review of your codebase: security, data model, code quality, what's salvageable. A written report with the honest math — fix it or rebuild it.
Vibe-code rescue & AI MVP development
Your AI-built app is 80% done. We ship the last 20%.
Lovable, Bolt, Replit or v0 got you an impressive demo — then the wheels came off: auth that leaks, payments that don't reconcile, a database shaped like a mood. We secure it, finish it and ship it. Or build your MVP properly, from scratch, in 6–8 weeks.
What we build
Two doors. Both end at a shipped product.
🔐
Auth & payments, properly
Real authentication, role-based access, Stripe flows that reconcile, webhooks that verify signatures. The parts AI generators fake, done for real.
🧱
Production hardening
Rate limiting, input validation, secrets out of the frontend, logging, backups, error tracking. The difference between a demo and a business.
🚀
MVP from scratch, 6–8 weeks
Scoped ruthlessly with you on day one, then designed, built and deployed in phased weekly releases. Auth, payments, core features, admin, analytics — done.
🧠
AI features done right
LLM features with streaming, fallbacks, cost caps and evals — not a fetch call to an API key exposed in the browser.
📚
Scale & handover docs
Architecture notes, runbooks, CI/CD and tests that matter. Any competent developer can take it from here — that's the point.
Every build includes
Shipped, secured and actually yours.
- NDA before access — read-only audit, nothing copied or trained on.
- Honest fix-vs-rebuild math — about one in five rescues is cheaper rebuilt; we say so.
- Security pass — secrets, auth, injection and access control checked before anything ships.
- Real deployment — your domain, your cloud, CI/CD and rollback from day one.
- Tests where they matter — money flows and auth paths, not vanity coverage.
- Complete ownership — repo, infra, accounts and docs. Walk away anytime, keep everything.

Boring, battle-tested technology on purpose: it hires well, scales predictably and never leaves you dependent on us. Where your rescue already has a working stack, we finish it in place — no gratuitous rewrites.
How it ships
From stuck demo to paying users in days.
48h rescue audit
Read-only review, written report: what's solid, what's dangerous, what it costs to finish. Fixed price attached.
Stabilize
Security holes closed, data model repaired, secrets rotated. The app stops being a liability first.
Finish & ship
The remaining 20%: auth, payments, edge cases, deployment. You watch it come together in staging.
Handover
Docs, runbooks, CI/CD and a recorded walkthrough. Your repo, your infra, your product.
Rescues from $5,000 · MVPs from $25,000
Fixed-price scope signed before work starts. The 48-hour audit fee is credited toward the build. Hosting and services run in your own accounts — typically $50–$400/month at launch scale.
Rescue, by the numbers
Every rescue starts the same way
A founder, a demo that wowed everyone, and a wall at 80%.
The AI builder did in a weekend what used to take a quarter — then came the last 20%: real auth, real payments, real edge cases. That's exactly where we start. Twenty-three rescues in, the pattern is always the same, and so is the ending: production.

Questions
What founders ask before a rescue.
Our Lovable/Bolt/Replit/v0 app is almost done — can you finish it?
Yes — that's our most common project. The 48-hour audit maps what's solid and what's not: security holes, data-model problems, missing auth and payments. You get a written report and a fixed price, usually 1–2 weeks of work.
Is our code safe to share for an audit?
Yes. NDA before any access, read-only repository permissions, nothing copied, trained on or shared. If you don't proceed, access is revoked and the report is yours to keep.
What if rebuilding is cheaper than rescuing?
Then the audit says so, plainly. Roughly one in five codebases is faster to rebuild from its own working UI than to untangle — you get the honest math either way, and the audit fee is credited to whichever path you choose.
How much does a complete MVP cost?
A full SaaS MVP — auth, payments, core features, admin, analytics, deployment — starts at $25,000 fixed-price and ships in 6–8 weeks. Larger platforms run to $60,000 with phased delivery.
Do we own the code afterwards?
Completely — repository, infrastructure, accounts and documentation from day one, CI/CD included. Any competent developer can pick it up from the handover docs. No lock-in, ever.
