RESCUE / PRODUCTION_READINESS_SPRINT

Your prototype got you here.
It will not get you to production.

You built fast — with Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, contractors or a cheap agency — and it worked: users, a demo, maybe a round. Now the cracks are showing: architecture, security, performance, code nobody can quite explain. I turn AI-built prototypes and fragile MVPs into software you can bet the company on.

01_the_pattern

Speed without judgment charges interest.

Anyone can generate a product that survives the demo. Then real users arrive, and the shortcuts start collecting: security holes, code no one can explain, features that break each other, a database that will not survive success. None of this means you were wrong to build fast — speed is why you exist.

But betting the next $50k on a codebase nobody senior has audited? That is how funded startups die with money in the bank.

02_the_sprint

Five days inside your product. Then you decide.

I go through your product and your code the way I would before putting my own name on it. At the end of the week you have, in writing:

  • A product and code review, by a named senior engineer
  • Technical and security risks, ranked by real urgency
  • A keep / rebuild / remove map of your codebase
  • The recommended architecture for where you are going
  • A 90-day technical roadmap
  • A fixed estimate to make it production-ready
  • A closing working session, founder to founder

03_after_the_sprint

Whatever the answer is, it is worth having.

If the sprint says your product needs serious work, I can do it: fixed price, billed by milestones you see, test and approve — with the sprint fee deducted. If it says you are mostly fine, you get that in writing and I get out of your way.

I decide whether to take the build the same way I run the audit: honestly. If I am not the right person for what comes next, the roadmap still works with whoever is.

the_math

An audit is cheaper than a rewrite.

Every fragile MVP eventually pays for judgment — before the next sprint, or after the next outage. Before is cheaper.

proof_not_promises

I have carried products past the crack stage before.

Fifteen years of product engineering at Gartner, Capterra, Trivago and Socialpoint — and products of my own that outlived my involvement.
