Platform Rescue
Your AI-Built App Worked in Development. Then Real Users Arrived.
We assess vibe-coded and freelancer-built applications, tell you exactly what’s broken, and rebuild them into production-ready platforms. No judgement — just a clear plan.

Sound familiar?
Fix one thing, break ten others
You’ve been going back and forth with the AI for days. Every fix creates a new bug. Your credits are burning and the app is getting worse, not better.
It works in preview but not in production
The demo looks impressive. But authentication breaks with real users, payments fail silently, and the database is wide open. You can’t launch this.
Your API keys are in the code
65% of vibe-coded apps have security vulnerabilities. 58% have critical ones. Hardcoded credentials have been scraped from public repos within 12 minutes. This isn’t hypothetical.
A focused, 3-week engagement where we dig into your AI-built or freelancer-built application, assess what’s salvageable, and deliver a written plan for getting it production-ready — or tell you honestly if a rebuild is the smarter path.
Three steps from stuck to production-ready
01
Code Health Assessment (free, 30 mins)
Book a call. Walk us through what you built, what’s broken, and where you’re stuck. We’ll give you an honest read on whether the app can be rescued, needs significant rework, or should be rebuilt from scratch. No charge, no obligation.
02
Platform Discovery Sprint (£4,500, 3 weeks)
The full diagnosis. We run automated scans (SonarQube, PHPStan, npm audit), manually review your architecture, assess security, and deliver a 15–20 page Platform Discovery Report with a Code Health Scorecard — severity-prioritised findings with a fix, refactor, or rebuild recommendation per component.

03
Custom Platform Build (from £25,000)
If the app needs rebuilding — partially or fully — we do it. Production-ready, on Laravel, with proper architecture, testing, security, and documentation. Fixed pricing. 8–16 weeks. Your Discovery Sprint fee is credited in full against the build cost.

Pricing
Your first step is a free App Assessment Call — 30 minutes, no commitment.
We’ll discuss your situation and recommend whether you need a quick fix (sometimes we can point you in the right direction for free), a Platform Discovery Sprint (£4,500 — the full diagnosis and roadmap), or a direct rebuild conversation if the scope is already clear.
If you proceed with a Discovery Sprint, the £4,500 is credited in full against any subsequent build. If the honest answer is “use off-the-shelf software,” we’ll tell you that too.
This is for you if
The prototype impressed everyone. But now you’re stuck in a loop of fixes that break other things, burning credits with no path to production. You need someone who understands both the AI output and what production actually requires.
Half-built app, no documentation, messy code that no other developer wants to touch. You need to know what you’re dealing with before you spend more money.
£2,000 on Upwork. £500 in AI tool subscriptions. Three months of your own time. It still doesn’t work in production. You need a straight answer about what it will actually take.
You’ve got customers, revenue, or a launch deadline. The app is live but fragile. You need it stabilised and hardened without starting from zero.
You’ve read the headlines about vibe-coded apps getting hacked. You don’t know whether your app is secure and you need someone to check — properly, not just running a free scanner.
This is not for you if:
Your app is a simple landing page or marketing site — that’s not what we do.
You need a $15 bug fix — Fiverr can help with that, though the fix may not last.
Your project doesn’t involve a web application — we specialise in web platforms, not mobile apps or desktop software.
If any of these apply, no hard feelings. If you’re unsure, book a call and we’ll tell you honestly.
AI got you 70% there. The remaining 30% is where apps break.
That 70% has real value — you validated your idea, tested with users, maybe even generated revenue. We're not here to tell you it was a waste. It wasn't.
But AI tools are prototyping tools. They don't generate proper error handling, security architecture, database design, or test coverage. They can't, because those things require understanding your business — not just your prompt.
The Discovery Sprint tells you exactly what's in your 30% and what it costs to close the gap.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Vibe-coded apps fail for well-documented, predictable reasons — it's a limitation of the tools, not a personal failure. We've seen the same three problems in every AI-generated codebase we've assessed. Our job is to tell you what's there, what's at risk, and what to do about it.
Maybe not. Many vibe-coded apps have solid frontend work that's worth keeping. The problems are usually in the backend: authentication, database design, security, and error handling. The Discovery Sprint determines exactly what's salvageable and what needs rebuilding — that's the whole point.
Yes. We assess what exists before recommending changes. If the frontend is solid and the problems are backend-only, we can rebuild the backend on Laravel while preserving your React frontend via Inertia.js. You don't necessarily lose everything.
A $50 Fiverr gig fixes one bug. We diagnose root causes and build a roadmap. The difference is between treating a symptom and understanding the disease. If you've already tried quick fixes and they keep breaking, that's exactly why a structured assessment exists.
The Discovery Sprint is 3 weeks. A rebuild — if needed — takes 8–16 weeks depending on complexity. We'll give you specific timelines after the Sprint, not before. Anyone quoting you a rebuild timeline without assessing the codebase first is guessing.
An automated scan (SonarQube + PHPStan + npm audit) plus expert manual review, producing a severity-prioritised list of issues with a fix, refactor, or rebuild recommendation per component. It's a specific deliverable, not a vague opinion.
We'll tell you, and we'll explain why. The Discovery Report will include what to keep (design assets, validated user flows, business logic documentation) and what to replace. A rebuild doesn't mean your previous work was worthless — it means the technical foundation needs to be production-grade.
