Why AI-built apps break

AI coding tools optimise for code that runs, not code that survives. The failures cluster in exactly the places a demo never exercises: who is allowed to see what, where the secrets live, what happens when something fails, and whether anything is tested.

  • Secrets. API keys hardcoded in the code or shipped to the browser.
  • Authorization. API routes that answer anyone who asks.
  • Error handling. Failures that crash the app or leak details to users.
  • No tests, no CI. Every change is a gamble on the paths that matter most.

A rescue finds those failures before your users do, then fixes the ones that matter, in priority order, without throwing away the product you already have.

The audit fee is credited in full against the rescue if you go ahead. You get the report whether or not you hire us for the fix.

Most apps need two weeks, not a rebuild

Most of the apps we see do not need to be thrown away. They need about two weeks of senior engineering attention on the parts nobody prompted for. The audit tells you which case you are in before you spend anything bigger.

If you have an active security incident, such as leaked keys or exposed customer data, say so when you book and it is treated as urgent rather than queued.

Common questions

How much does a code audit cost?

$490, fixed, and it takes three business days. The fee is credited in full against the rescue if you continue.

What does the rescue sprint cover?

It starts at $2,900 for two weeks and covers secrets, authorization, error handling, CI and tests on your critical paths.

Will you rebuild my app?

Only if the foundation cannot be saved. A rebuild starts at $12,000 and runs 4 to 6 weeks. Most apps do not need one.

Which tools do you work with?

Apps built with Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, Replit and similar tools.

How fast can you start?

Triage calls are usually available within a day, and audits typically start within 48 hours of repo access.

Do I keep the report if I don't hire you?

Yes. You own the report either way.
