AI-Built Product
Rescue
Cursor, Lovable, Replit, Bolt, v0, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Codex, and no-code AI builders can help you move fast. When the prototype hits scaling, security, architecture, or maintainability limits, we assess, plan, and turn it into a production-grade system.
The Promise
AI coding tools and builders let non-engineers or small teams ship working software in weeks. Real, impressive prototypes. Real validation.
The Reality
The codebase is hard to maintain. Scaling is near impossible. Engineers hired to grow the product find a system that resists change.
The Solution
A methodical technical audit and incremental remediation plan. Not a rewrite. A systematic path from prototype to production.
The Warning Signs
Does Your AI-Generated Codebase Show These Symptoms?
These aren't edge cases - they're the consistent patterns we find in AI-generated products, vibe-coded apps, and no-code/AI-builder prototypes that come to us for rescue.
The Audit
What We Review in the Technical Assessment
Architecture Review
Separation of concerns, dependency direction, coupling and cohesion analysis. We map what you actually have vs. what's needed for production.
Data Model Audit
Schema review, ORM usage, query patterns, N+1 problems, missing indexes, transaction boundaries.
Security Assessment
Authentication flows, authorization gaps, injection vectors, secrets in code, dependency vulnerabilities.
Test Coverage Baseline
Current coverage measured, critical path identified, testing strategy defined before any refactoring begins.
DevOps & Deployment
CI/CD pipeline assessment, environment parity, container strategy, release process risk.
Performance Profiling
Load test, identify bottlenecks, measure baseline response times and memory usage under realistic load.
The Process
From Prototype to Production
Codebase Triage
Week 1-2We inspect the codebase, architecture, dependencies, and critical user paths. The output is a concrete picture of what's there, what's broken, and what's missing.
Remediation Plan
Week 3Prioritized, phased plan. What must be fixed before it costs you users. What can be deferred. What can be lived with. Real tradeoffs, not platitudes.
Test Coverage First
Month 2Before touching production code, we write tests for existing behavior. This is how we refactor safely - not by guessing.
Systematic Refactoring
Months 2-6Domain model extraction, API layer, infrastructure concerns separated. Each change is tested, code-reviewed, and deployed incrementally.
Production Hardening
Final PhaseObservability, alerting, rate limiting, load testing, security hardening, runbook documentation. You ship with confidence.
"The assessment gave us a practical path forward: what to keep, what to refactor first, and what had to be rebuilt before launch."

Know What You're Dealing With
A Technical Assessment gives you the full picture: what's actually wrong, what it costs to fix, and what order to fix it in. Three weeks. Fixed price. Actionable output.
