Production readiness audit · AI-built apps

Your AI-built app is not production-ready just because it works.

VibeCheck is a senior developer audit for vibe-coded apps: we review your codebase and setup, prioritize risks, and answer one question clearly: is this ready for production?

Clarity before launch. Not a dev shop: focused production readiness judgment.

The problem

Tools like Cursor, Bolt, Replit, Lovable, Claude, and Windsurf help you ship fast. Your app can look polished while hiding fragile architecture, weak auth, risky data patterns, and deployment gaps.

  • You do not know if the code is safe or if the stack will hold up.
  • You are unsure what must ship before launch versus what can wait.
  • You need senior technical judgment, not another generic code review or a full agency retainer.
VibeCheck helps founders avoid launching fragile AI-built apps. We bring production-focused engineering judgment to products built fast with AI, before real users hit production.

  3. 3

    We audit

    We review architecture, security, auth, data, APIs, performance, deployment, and maintainability.

  4. 4

    You get the verdict

    Findings, severity ranking, launch readiness conclusion, and a remediation roadmap you can act on.

What we review

A production readiness audit for startups and builders, focused on real risk, not abstract perfection.

  • Architecture
  • Code quality
  • Authentication & authorization
  • Database structure
  • API design
  • Performance & scalability
  • Deployment setup
  • Third-party dependencies
  • Security risks
  • Maintainability
  • Overall production readiness

Who it is for

Founders & solo builders

Non-technical founders and indie hackers who shipped an MVP with AI and need a serious pre-launch technical audit.

Anyone with “looks done” software

If your app feels close to launch but you are anxious about what is underneath, this audit is for you.

Startups that moved fast

Startups and agencies that prototyped quickly and now need senior judgment before exposing the product to real users.

About Me

I’m a senior full-stack engineer with extensive experience designing, building, and shipping production software. My background spans startup environments, product development, technical leadership, and full-stack architecture across many technologies and stacks.

I approach technical audits with a practical production mindset shaped by years of real-world software development. That includes evaluating architecture, authentication, security, database design, scalability, maintainability, and overall launch readiness.

If you’re looking for a senior engineer’s perspective on whether your app is truly ready for production, that is the expertise I bring to VibeCheck.

Pricing

Quick
VibeCheck

$325

Fast triage: are you pointed in the wrong direction?

  • Best for. Early MVPs, prototypes, and rough builds when you need a fast read before you invest more.
  • You get. A concise written summary and one clear “what to tackle first” recommendation.
  • Question it answers. “What looks most dangerous, and what should I look at first?” Not a full answer to “is this production-ready?”
  • How the auditor works. Skims across code and product in a broad pass. Spots obvious trouble; does not systematically review every major subsystem end to end.
  • Findings. The biggest risks and red flags called out. Not a complete inventory of issues or a full severity-ranked list.
  • Launch verdict. Not included. You do not get a formal safe-to-ship / not-ready conclusion (that is what Production is for).

Advisory

$1,999

Everything in Production, plus help deciding what to build and in what order.

  • Best for. Non-technical founders who need judgment after the report, not only a PDF.
  • You get. Everything in the Production audit (report, verdict, roadmap, review call), plus a strategy session, implementation prioritization help, and limited post-audit email support.
  • Question it answers. Everything the Production audit covers, plus what to fix or ship next and in what order after the report.
  • Strategy. Additional working session to turn findings into a fix-vs-defer plan for your roadmap.
  • Prioritization. Concrete implementation order for you and whoever you hire next.
  • Support. Limited post-audit advisory (email) to clarify findings and tradeoffs after delivery.

FAQ

Answers for founders searching for a technical audit or app launch audit before going live.

What kinds of apps do you review?

Web apps, APIs, SaaS MVPs, and many mobile-backed stacks. If you can share code and describe how the product is deployed and used, we can assess production readiness for that context.

Do you only review AI-built apps?

We focus on AI-generated code and vibe-coded apps because that is where clarity is often missing, but the same senior developer audit applies whenever you need a launch readiness review.

Why can’t I just audit the code with AI myself?

AI tools can help spot patterns and surface ideas, but they are not a substitute for a senior engineer who takes responsibility for a production-readiness judgment. Models lack full context about your deployment, users, threat model, and what level of risk you can accept. They can miss issues, lean on generic best-practice advice, or sound confident when they are wrong. A human audit combines structured review with prioritization for your situation, and a clear verdict you can act on.

What tools or stacks can you work with?

Common stacks and frameworks are fine; we care about architecture, security, data, and operations. Tell us your stack when you submit access. We will confirm fit if something is unusual.

What do I need to provide for the audit?

Usually repository access or a code export, deployment notes, and product context (who the users are, what must not break). Exact requirements are confirmed after payment.

Will you fix the issues too?

This service is an audit and roadmap, not an open-ended build. Advisory packages help you prioritize fixes; implementation is separate unless we agree otherwise.

How long does the audit take?

Quick VibeCheck is the fastest turnaround. Deeper audits take longer and depend on scope. You will get an estimated timeline after we receive materials.

Can I use this before launching an MVP?

Yes, especially if you want a production-ready MVP perspective: what is acceptable for an early launch versus what is an unacceptable risk.

What if I built my app with Cursor, Bolt, Replit, Lovable, Claude, or similar?

That is exactly the scenario VibeCheck is designed for: fast-built software that needs senior engineering judgment before you point real traffic and data at it.

Clarity before launch

Get a decisive AI-built app audit, prioritized findings, and a clear path forward, without committing to full-time engineers on day one.
