You built it fast with AI. Now find out if it is safe to rely on.
AI tools let a business build a working application in weeks, but they do not tell you whether it is secure, whether its numbers are right, or what happens when it breaks. We review what you have built, plan what it should become, and rebuild it properly while your team keeps using it. We can then stay on to run and support it.
When the prototype becomes the business
Plenty of teams now run their day-to-day work on an app someone built with AI help. Building that way also tends to leave gaps you cannot see from the screen.
- Checks that can be switched off
- Security checks that only run in the browser, where anyone with basic technical knowledge can switch them off.
- Keys in the code
- Database keys sitting in code that gets sent to every user.
- Rules nobody can prove
- Important business rules, such as how revenue is calculated, buried in one very large file with no tests.
- Changes straight to live
- No version history and no way to roll back.
- Drifting data
- Duplicate records, missing links, and entries nobody can act on.
- Outgrown, not wrong
- None of this means it was built wrong. It means the app has outgrown the way it was built.
Review, redesign, rebuild, run
Four stages. You can stop after any of them.
- Stage 1Review: find out what you actually haveAn independent, read-only look at your application, its database and its hosting. We check who can see and change what, how passwords and keys are handled, whether any components have known security holes, whether the calculations behave as expected, the state of your data, and how changes reach the live system. You get a findings report in plain English, ranked by severity, with what it means and what to do.
- Stage 2Redesign: plan the system it should beWe use enterprise methodologies to turn the findings into a proper design: requirements, architecture, and a written record of every decision. We keep what already works, often your existing hosting and database. You get a target architecture, a phased plan and a decision log you can share with your auditors.
- Stage 3Rebuild: replace it while you keep workingYour current app stays live while we build the new one alongside it, one screen at a time, and move each part across once it is proven. Business rules are written down and tested, data is cleaned and checked by your people before it moves, and every change is reviewed and logged. You get a maintainable, tested system, a full change history and handover documentation.
- Stage 4Run: keep it healthyOnce the new system is live, we can stay on to maintain and support it: fixing problems, keeping components up to date, and carrying on the regular independent audits of the code as it grows. You choose whether we run it, your own team does, or we share it.
What you get
A plain-English findings report ranked by severity. A target architecture and phased delivery plan. A decision log recording what was decided, by whom and why. A rebuilt application with automated tests. Separate development, test and live environments with a controlled release process. Data clean-up tooling, with every merge and correction reviewed by a person. A complete audit trail of every change. User and administrator guides.
The kind of thing we find
None of these show up in a demo. They show up when real people use the system every day.
| Type | What we found |
|---|---|
| Security | Permission checks that hid a button on screen but did not stop the action behind it. |
| Silent failure | A save button that seemed to do nothing. It was failing every time, and the error message was hidden off-screen. |
| Data loss | Two people editing the same record a few seconds apart, with the second quietly overwriting the first. |
| False safety | A data check that, written the obvious way, would have missed the exact error it was meant to catch. |
| False safety | A comment in the code promising a safety test that did not exist. |
How we work, and who it is for
Your live system is protected: we read before we change anything, test away from your live data, and never use real customer records as test data. You make the decisions: we set out the options and trade-offs in plain English. Everything is written down, so if you are regulated, you have a record to draw on. What your regulator requires is for your compliance team. And we check our own work: for code that handles money or permissions, we deliberately break it to prove the tests catch the problem.
It is for businesses running on an AI-built or no-code app that has become business-critical, founders who built the first version themselves and need it ready for growth, investment or audit, and regulated firms that need to show how their systems are controlled.
What do people ask about vibe coding reviews?
Do we have to stop using our app?
No. It stays live the whole time. The new system replaces it one part at a time.
Will you move us to a new platform?
Only if the platform is genuinely the problem. In most cases the hosting and database are fine and it is the application that needs the work.
Can we just have the review?
Yes. The review stands on its own, and many teams use it to decide what to do next.
We built it ourselves with AI. Will you judge it?
No. Getting a working system into daily use is the hard part. Our job is to make it solid.
Can you look after it afterwards?
Yes. After the rebuild we can stay on to maintain and support the system, or hand it to your own team with the documentation. It is your choice.
How long does it take?
It depends on the size of the application and how it is used. After a first conversation we will give you a scoped estimate for the review.
