03 / Vibe-code rescue
Keep the product. Remove the production risk.
Senior-led assessment and stabilization for products built with Lovable, Bolt, Replit, Cursor, and other AI-assisted development tools.
The demo works. The system does not yet hold.
AI-assisted development can get a useful product in front of people quickly. Risk appears when real accounts, money, data, and deployment become part of the same system.
- Every fix breaks another path
- Authentication or authorization is improvised
- Database rules and ownership are unclear
- Secrets or privileged operations reach the client
- Payments lack reliable state handling
- Deployment differs from the local demo
- Critical flows have no meaningful tests
- Errors disappear without monitoring
Keep, change, remove.
The answer is not a percentage or a blanket rewrite. It is a decision about what the product has already proved and what the system still needs to carry safely.
- 01Keep useful product decisions
Preserve validated workflows, interface decisions, and working product knowledge.
- 02Change risky foundations
Stabilize permissions, data boundaries, payments, integrations, and critical flows where evidence requires it.
- 03Remove dead weight
Delete dead routes, misleading integrations, and duplicated paths only when the system review supports the decision.
04 / Rescue process
Stabilize what matters first.
Every move should reduce a known risk or make the next release easier to trust.
- 01
Assessment
Review the repository, system boundaries, critical paths, and deployment reality.
- 02
Stabilization plan
Sequence the changes and identify what can safely stay in place.
- 03
Critical remediation
Fix the highest-risk paths across auth, data, payments, APIs, and operations.
- 04
Verification and deployment
Test the critical flows, make failure visible, and deploy the known version.
- 05
Documentation and handover
Leave the team with ownership, runbooks, and a codebase it can keep changing.
Typical work areas.
- Auth and permissions
- Payments and webhooks
- Database access and migrations
- API boundaries and secrets
- Error handling and observability
- Tests for critical flows
05 / Fit
The product already has momentum.
Rescue is for teams with something real to preserve and a reason to make it safe to continue.
Good fit
- Working product or active pilot
- Real users, customers, or a launch deadline
- Critical flows worth protecting
- Access to the repository and environments
Not a fit
- Idea-only products
- One-bug bargain work
- Guaranteed security certification
- “Make everything autonomous” without a workflow
Questions before the handover.
Do you always rewrite the application?
No. We preserve useful product decisions and change the parts that create measurable production risk.
Can we keep using AI coding tools?
Yes. The goal is a codebase with clearer boundaries, tests, and operating rules that your team can continue to use responsibly.
What access is needed?
Usually the repository, deployment configuration, relevant environments, and a clear view of the critical workflow.
What happens after the assessment?
You receive a prioritized remediation path. If implementation is useful, we scope only the work supported by the findings.
Who owns the repaired code?
Ownership and access are defined as part of the engagement. The handover should not create a new dependency.
Make the next release safer.
Start with the repository, the deadline, and the part nobody trusts yet.
