Scope

What we fix

Apps built fast, by a freelancer who left or by an AI app builder, often ship with keys in the browser, tables anyone can read, and no tests. We start with a read-only review, give you a ranked list of what can hurt you, and quote the fix. We keep what works and rebuild only what does not. You end with tests, monitoring, and a runbook.

Questions

Before you ask

Can you work with my existing codebase?

Yes. We start with a code review and a ranked list of risks, then propose what to fix and what to leave alone. We keep what works.

My app was built with an AI app builder. Can you fix it?

Yes, it is a common request. These apps often ship with keys in the browser, database tables anyone can read, and no tests. Run the free scan for a first look, then send us read-only access and we will quote the fix.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes, before you share anything sensitive. Your ideas and business information stay confidential.

Do I own the source code?

Yes, all of it, from day one. The repository, hosting, domains, and API keys are in your accounts. There are no licence fees and nothing to hand over at the end.
