Launch your AI-built app with confidence.
Get a senior engineering review of your app's auth, secrets, database, deployment, logging, payments, and launch risks — with a prioritized fix plan before real users show up.
For founders, indie hackers, and small teams launching AI-assisted apps.
AI can help you build fast. It does not guarantee you are ready to launch.
AI coding tools are excellent at generating features, screens, endpoints, and boilerplate. But production readiness requires context: how auth is enforced, where secrets live, what data is exposed, how errors are handled, how backups work, and what happens when traffic, abuse, or real payments arrive.
This audit is designed to catch the practical risks that often hide behind a working demo.
Built for founders who shipped faster than their infrastructure matured.
- Solo founders using Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, Replit, v0, Claude, or ChatGPT
- Indie hackers preparing for launch
- Small teams with an MVP but no senior backend or DevOps review
- Builders handling payments, accounts, private data, or customer workflows
- Founders who want a prioritized fix list instead of generic security advice
Not for
This is not a replacement for formal compliance, penetration testing, SOC 2, HIPAA, or enterprise security certification. It is a practical engineering audit for early products that need to launch safely and avoid obvious production mistakes.

- Support and debug workflow
- Incident response basics
- Highest-risk unknowns
A clear fix plan, not a vague security lecture.
You get a practical report that separates urgent launch risks from nice-to-have improvements. The goal is to help you decide what to fix now, what to defer, and what to monitor after launch.
- Production readiness score
- Risk-ranked findings
- Top 5–10 launch blockers
- Prioritized remediation plan
- Plain-English explanation of each risk
- Suggested implementation approach
- Optional walkthrough call
- Optional implementation support

How it works
From intake to prioritized fix plan in a straightforward process.
Submit the intake form
Share basic details about your app, stack, and what you're most worried about. No credentials or sensitive data needed at this stage.
Fit and scope review
I'll review your intake details and reach out if the app looks like a good fit. We'll agree on the right package and review depth.
App, repo, and deployment review
The actual review: your real code, config, deployment setup, auth flows, and operational risks — not a generic checklist.
Receive prioritized report and next steps
You get a clear, risk-ranked report. Optionally, I can walk you through findings on a call or help implement the highest-priority fixes.
Frequently asked questions
- Is this a penetration test?
- No. This is a practical production-readiness and security review for early-stage apps. It can identify many common security and reliability risks, but it is not a formal penetration test, compliance audit, or certification.
- Do you need access to my code?
- For the deeper audit, yes. The most useful findings come from reviewing the actual repo, configuration, deployment setup, and critical flows. For the lighter scan, a walkthrough may be enough to identify obvious risks.
- What if my app was built mostly by AI?
- That is exactly the point. AI tools can help you build quickly, but they often generate code without understanding your production context, data boundaries, abuse cases, or operational needs.
- What stacks do you review?
- The review is most valuable for common web app stacks: Java/Spring Boot, Node/Next.js, Python, serverless apps, hosted databases, AWS, Vercel, Supabase, Firebase, and similar platforms. If the stack is unusual, the intake form will help determine fit.
- Can you fix the issues too?
- Yes, depending on scope. Some clients only need the report. Others want hands-on help implementing the highest-priority fixes.
- How long does it take?
- Timing depends on scope, access, and app complexity. The initial intake is used to determine the right package and review depth.
- Will you guarantee my app is secure?
- No responsible reviewer can guarantee that. The goal is to identify practical, high-priority risks and help you make better launch decisions.
- Is this only for apps built with Cursor?
- No. Cursor is one common path, but the service is for any AI-assisted app where the founder wants experienced engineering review before or after launch.
This is a practical production-readiness and security review, not a formal penetration test, compliance certification, or guarantee that an application is vulnerability-free.
