Vibe Check
You built it with vibes.
Now make it real.
You used Cursor, Claude, Bolt, or Lovable to build something that actually works. Congrats — seriously. But now you need it to be secure, scalable, and maintainable. That's where we come in.
Sound Familiar?
The vibe coding wall
"It works on my laptop"
But you have no idea what happens when real users show up. No tests, no monitoring, no confidence.
"I'm scared to touch it"
Every change feels like it might break something. You've stopped adding features because the risk isn't worth it.
"Is this even secure?"
API keys in the code, no auth checks, SQL queries built from user input. You know it's bad but don't know how bad.
"A real developer would laugh at this"
You shipped something that works. That's more than most people ever do. But you know it needs professional eyes.
Vibe coding is the most important shift in software development in a decade. Non-technical founders can now build working products in days instead of months. That's not a bug — that's a revolution.
The app you built works. You validated your idea, got users, maybe even got revenue. That took courage and resourcefulness. Now it's time for the next step: making sure your foundation can support what you're building on top of it. Think of it like getting a home inspection — the house is standing, now let's make sure it'll last.
How It Works
The Vibe Check
1-2 weeksA comprehensive assessment of your codebase. We dig into every layer and give you an honest, prioritized report of what's solid, what's risky, and what needs to change.
What you get:
The Cleanup
4-8 weeksWe roll up our sleeves and fix what matters. Guided by the assessment, we harden your app for production while keeping everything that works intact.
What you get:
What We Inspect
Every layer of your stack
Security
Auth flows, API key exposure, input validation, dependency vulnerabilities, data encryption
Data
Database design, query performance, backup strategy, migration paths, data integrity
Architecture
Code organization, separation of concerns, dependency management, API design, state management
Reliability
Error handling, edge cases, logging, monitoring, graceful degradation
Scale
Load handling, caching strategy, database indexing, rate limiting, async processing
DevOps
Deployment pipeline, environment config, secrets management, CI/CD, rollback capability
Is this for you?
This is for you if:
- ✓ You built a working app with AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude, Bolt, Lovable, etc.)
- ✓ You have real users or paying customers
- ✓ You're worried about security, scalability, or code quality
- ✓ You want to hire developers but need to know what to tell them
- ✓ You need confidence that your app won't fall over as you grow
This probably isn't for you if:
- ✗ You haven't built anything yet (come back when you do!)
- ✗ You already have a senior engineering team doing code reviews
- ✗ You want the cheapest option (quality assurance isn't a commodity)
- ✗ Your app is just a prototype with no real users yet

We use AI coding tools ourselves every day — Cursor, Claude Code, and everything in between. We know the patterns these tools produce, the shortcuts they take, and the blind spots they have. That means we can assess your codebase faster, more accurately, and with more nuance than someone who's never worked with AI-generated code.
Common Questions
How much does this cost?
Every codebase is different. Reach out and tell us about your app — we'll give you an honest assessment of what it needs and what it'll take. No surprises.
What tech stacks do you work with?
If an AI coding tool can generate it, we can assess and fix it. React, Next.js, Python, Node, Rails, mobile apps — we've seen it all. The patterns of AI-generated code are remarkably similar regardless of framework.
Will you need to rewrite everything?
Almost never. The whole point is to preserve what works and fix what doesn't. Most vibe-coded apps are 70-80% fine — it's the remaining 20-30% that creates all the risk.
What if my app is truly unfixable?
We'll tell you honestly. If a rewrite makes more sense than a cleanup, we'll explain why and give you a roadmap for doing it right. We'd rather give you hard truth than take money for a lost cause.
Do I need to give you access to my codebase?
Yes — we'll need repo access to do the assessment. We sign NDAs as standard practice and can work within whatever security constraints you have.
Can I just get the assessment without the cleanup?
Absolutely. Many clients start with The Vibe Check and use the report to guide their own team or hire developers with a clear spec. The assessment stands on its own as a valuable deliverable.
Your app works. Let's make it last.
You did the hard part — you shipped. Now let's make sure your foundation is as strong as your ambition.
