Software readiness review for MVPs and AI-built apps
I review existing apps, MVPs, and AI-built prototypes, then deliver a practical Codebase Triage Report showing what is working, what is risky, and what should be fixed before launch, handoff, or further development.
No call required. Async by default.
The problem
A working demo can still hide unclear setup, fragile architecture, missing tests, security red flags, deployment assumptions, or code that is difficult to hand over. A Codebase Triage Report gives you a clear, prioritized view before you hire, launch, or keep building.
What this is
The review looks at the codebase and supporting documentation, then turns the current state of the project into a practical readiness report. The output is a written assessment, not open-ended consulting or implementation work.
Review coverage
Project organization, entry points, architecture, maintainability, API/backend boundaries, frontend organization, and data model concerns.
Setup instructions, developer experience, testing gaps, dependency/tooling health, documentation quality, and handoff friction.
Developer-level security red flags, auth/authorization concerns, deployment clues, production readiness, scaling assumptions, and cloud cost risks.
Deliverable
The report is designed to be useful to the project owner, the next developer, and an AI coding agent that may work on the project later.
Example findings
The app may work on the original developer's machine, but the repository does not clearly document environment variables, database setup, migrations, or test commands.
Why it mattersA new developer or AI coding agent may waste hours trying to run the project.
The app may check whether a user is logged in, but not consistently check whether that user can access or modify a specific resource.
Why it mattersThis can create privacy, data access, and security risks before launch.
Important flows such as sign-up, payments, permissions, uploads, or data changes may have little or no regression protection.
Why it mattersFuture changes become risky because breakage may only be found after users are affected.
The repository may contain old setup paths, outdated commands, or conflicting handoff notes.
Why it mattersDevelopers and AI agents can follow stale instructions and make unsafe assumptions.
Sample report
The sample report shows the format, level of detail, and type of recommendations included in a Codebase Triage Report. It uses a fictionalized AI-built SaaS MVP scenario.
Open sample PDFIncludes: client takeaway, readiness scores, top findings, quick wins, first PRs, and AI-agent tasks.
Redacted: no private repo names, customer data, secrets, or internal project details.
Pricing
Launch discount for early customers
R3,000 / US$200
Regular pricing from R9,500 after the launch window.
Best for MVPs, AI-built prototypes, small SaaS apps, freelancer-built apps, and projects being prepared for handoff or beta launch.

Do not send production credentials, private keys, live API secrets, or customer data.
The review follows a bounded scope across setup, architecture, tests, red flags, and readiness.
The written report ranks what matters, what can wait, and the first fixes to prioritize.
Scope boundaries
This is a bounded readiness review. It is not a formal penetration test, production security certification, emergency production support, full rewrite, deployment service, open-ended consulting package, or replacement for specialist legal/compliance/security advice.
Please do not send production credentials, private keys, live API secrets, or customer data.
FAQ
The Codebase Triage Report is a review and prioritization service, not an implementation package. Clear quick wins can be quoted separately after the report.
No. The report includes developer-level security red flags, but it is not a formal penetration test, security certification, or guarantee that all vulnerabilities will be found.
No. The process is async by default. The intake form and repository context are usually enough for a fixed-scope review.
If the project cannot be run from the provided instructions within a reasonable time, the review continues as a static codebase review and setup problems are included as findings.
Yes. It is especially useful for AI-built prototypes where the app appears to work, but the owner is unsure whether the generated code is maintainable, secure, or safe to keep building on.
