From AI prototype to production

You built it with AI. We make it real.

Lovable, Replit, Claude, Cursor, Bolt or v0 got you a working prototype fast. Going live is the hard part: security, real authentication, a database that will not fall over, hosting, scale, and compliance. That is what we do, every day, for finance, healthcare, legal, and government.

Sound familiar?

It works in the demo. Then reality hits.

AI tools are brilliant at getting you to a prototype. They are not built to hand you something a real business can run on. The gaps usually look like this:

🔒

Security holes

Exposed API keys, no real input validation, secrets in the front end, and auth that anyone can walk around.

📊

It will not scale

Fine for 5 users, falls over at 500. No caching, no proper database design, no load handling.

🤝

No real auth or roles

Logins that look done but leak data across accounts, with no permissions, sessions, or recovery.

💾

Fragile data

No migrations, no backups, no integrity. One bad change and the data is gone.

Nowhere to host it

Stuck in the builder sandbox with no real hosting, deployment pipeline, domains, or monitoring.

📋

Will not pass review

A customer security team asks for SOC 2, HIPAA, or PCI and the whole thing stalls.

Questions

What founders ask us

Is my AI-built app salvageable, or do you start over?

Almost always salvageable. The audit tells you honestly: we fix what is solid and rebuild only what truly needs it, no scorched-earth rewrite to pad an invoice.

How fast is the audit?

Typically a few business days. You leave the first call knowing the timeline and walk away from the audit with a fixed quote.

Do you handle hosting and deployment too?

Yes. We set up real, production-grade hosting, deployment pipelines, domains, and monitoring, so it is not stuck in the builder sandbox.

Can you make it HIPAA, SOC 2, or PCI ready?

Yes, that is a core strength. We build software for healthcare, finance, and government, so compliance is designed in, not bolted on.

What does it cost?

The Production-Readiness Audit starts at $2,500. The fix is scoped and fixed-quoted from the audit, so there are no surprises.
