What founders say on the first call

There must be thousands of founders like me who need exactly this and do not know where to find it. If I could read code, I would be doing what you do.

A founder, before the audit
DEFINITION

Three Steps, Each Optional After the First

Vibe coding cleanup is a senior review and fix of an app built with AI tools such as Cursor, Lovable or Bolt. Your fractional CTO audits the code for security, data access and production readiness, ranks what will hurt first, then fixes it for a price agreed before work starts.

01Step 1 · from $199

The audit

Your fractional CTO scores your repo across 8 areas and ranks what will hurt you first.

Fixed price. Nothing else is triggered.

02Step 2 · fixed price

The cleanup

We fix it, for a price agreed before work starts.

Scoped from the findings. The audits on this page landed between four weeks and one quarter.

03Step 3 · retainer

Stay

A review skill tuned to your repo so your AI tool catches our findings before we do, and your fractional CTO on retainer for what it cannot catch.

What founders say after the audit

You are my back end now. If something breaks at three in the morning, I send one message and it is handled.

What founders say on the first call

THE PATTERN

The POC Worked. That Was the Easy Part.

The same fix costs more every month you leave it. Not because the bug grows, but because the code around it does.

  • Scheduled jobs were open to anyone the moment one secret was missing.

Refactor, not rebuild

AI INSIDE THE PRODUCT

Your App Has an AI Chat Inside. We Test What It Can Be Talked Into.

If your product has an AI assistant, an import that reads documents, or an MCP interface, the model sits one step away from your users’ data and money. We run a 120-case prompt-injection corpus against the real handlers: labels users typed, uploaded files, chat history, tool results.

In the personal finance audit, one preview token replayed four times created four transactions, and text a user typed into a category name ended up inside the system prompt.

COMPLIANCE FORMS

The Questionnaire Arrives Before the First Customer Does.

Bank aggregators (Plaid, TrueLayer, Basiq and their regional peers), app stores and payment providers send a security questionnaire before they let you in. Investors send a due-diligence list.

For fintech, health and HR products the audit comes with the forms pre-filled from what we found: provider security questionnaire draft, SOC 2 readiness, GDPR and regional data-protection control matrix. You answer from evidence, not from hope.

FAQ

Questions We Hear Often

Click to expand.

The app works fine. What’s the risk?

“Fine” means fine on the happy path, at low traffic. We check what breaks after that: missing auth, race conditions, infrastructure that cannot scale.

Will you tell me to rebuild?

Almost never. In the personal finance audit with 56 findings the answer was refactor. We say rebuild only when the data model cannot carry the product, and we show why.

My app has an AI chat. Is that covered?

Yes. We run a 120-case prompt-injection corpus against your real handlers and check three things: replay and approval of AI-initiated writes, what untrusted text reaches the model as instructions, and token and spend limits when a user loops the chat.

Do you do a Supabase RLS audit?

Yes, as part of Security, one of the 8 areas. We look for row-level security that is switched on and still lets one user read another user’s records.

I am about to integrate a bank or payment API.

Tell us. The audit then includes the provider questionnaire draft.

My repo is not on GitHub.

Fine. Tell us in the form where the code lives and we arrange access by email. GitLab and Bitbucket work, and so does a Lovable project with no repo at all: tick “I have a Lovable project, no GitHub”.

Can my business partner or a technical friend join the debrief?

Yes. Most founders bring one. The report is written so that a non-engineer and an engineer read the same page.

Can’t our first hire clean it up?

They can, over months, at senior rates. The report hands them the map on day one.

We are early. Isn’t this premature?

The opposite. Every fix gets pricier as code piles on top. $199 now beats the same conversation after failed due diligence.

I will keep building with AI after the fix. Then what?

That is step 3, and it is optional. We tune a review skill to your repo so your AI tool catches our findings before we do, and your fractional CTO stays on retainer for what it cannot catch.
