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

Hardcoded credentials, an open database, no access control – exactly how AI-app breaches happen. Yours could be next, and nobody’s checked.

The diagnosis

What we usually find in vibe-coded codebases

Five issues. Every app. The tools can’t warn you because they don’t know these are problems.
Duplicate logic
Same function written seven ways across seven files – every AI prompt starts from scratch
No error handling
Empty catch blocks, no fallback UI, no logging. Production breaks give you a blank screen and no clue why
Security gaps
RLS disabled on Supabase, API keys hardcoded in frontend, CORS set to allow all origins
Zero test coverage
No automated testing, no CI/CD, no database migrations. Works by coincidence, not by design
Architecture that can’t scale
25 database queries per page load. Race conditions. State collapse with multiple users
The Code Health Scorecard in our Discovery Sprint grades each of these with a fix, refactor, or rebuild recommendation.
The part the tools don’t flag

Vibe-coded apps aren’t secure by default

AI tools are brilliant accelerators – we build with them every day. But they optimise for one thing: looking right in the demo. Safe in production is a different job, and shipping what they produce without review is where security problems hide.
45%
of AI-generated code fails basic OWASP security checks – across independent testing of 150+ AI models. (Veracode)

Where vibe-coded apps usually fall down

Secrets in the front end
API keys and database credentials left in client-side code – visible to anyone who opens their browser’s developer tools.
No row-level security
Access control never enforced at the database, so any user can read another’s data. It works fine until someone looks.
Auth that survives the demo, not production
Session handling that holds up in preview and falls over when real, concurrent users arrive.

This isn’t hypothetical. Founders who’ve shipped AI-built apps publicly have had exposed API keys found and abused within days – racking up large bills and leaking data before they knew anything was wrong.

Here’s the part the tools won’t tell you: the obvious exposures are quick to spot, and most are fixable without starting over. A free 30-minute App Assessment Call is where we look at what you’ve built, surface what we can see on the spot, and tell you what a full assessment would dig into – no judgement, no obligation.

Founder, Rocking Tech · Cranfield MBA · Zend & Laravel Certified

I’ve spent over a decade building and rebuilding Laravel platforms – taking over abandoned codebases, AI-generated MVPs, and freelancer projects that stalled, and turning them into systems that actually run in production. I run every Platform Rescue assessment personally. You’re not handed off to a junior who hasn’t seen a vibe-coded codebase before.

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

You built with Lovable, Bolt.new, Cursor, or similar 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.
Your freelancer disappeared mid-project 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.
You’ve already spent money that didn’t work £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.
Real users are waiting (or already using it) 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’re worried about security 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.
The reality

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

Will you judge my code?
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.
Do I need to start over?
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.
Can you work with my existing React/Supabase stack?
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.
How is this different from Fiverr or Upwork?
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.
How long does the rescue process take?
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.
What does the Code Health Scorecard include?
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.
What if the honest answer is "start from scratch"?
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.
