Founders with AI-generated apps that almost work but need production hardening
AI-Generated App Rescue & Production Readiness
Audit first. Fix what's reusable. No fixed rescue scope before seeing the repository and production behaviour.
01 / What this service solvesDirect senior delivery
Practical direction.
Production delivery.
Founders often ship fast with AI coding tools like Lovable, Bolt, Replit, and Cursor, then hit walls around authentication, database permissions, payments, deployment, performance, or security. I provide evidence-based code and deployment audits, prioritized rescue plans, and senior delivery without promising to salvage everything. Scope is written after seeing the repository and current production behaviour—not before.
02 / FitWho this is for
Teams hitting auth, database, payment, webhook, or deployment failures
Non-technical founders deciding between salvage, selective rewrite, or rebuild
Technical founders who used AI coding aggressively and need a senior review
03 / DeliverablesDefined in the written scope
Code and deployment audit covering auth, database access, payments, error handling, performance, and structure
Written assessment of reusable components versus rewrite candidates
Prioritized rescue plan with clear scope and quote for agreed fixes
Implementation of fixes, hardening, and deployment to client-controlled accounts
Handoff documentation covering monitoring, testing, and ongoing maintenance
04 / ProcessClear checkpoints
Assess
Free strategy call to understand the problem, urgency, access constraints, and third-party account ownership like Stripe, auth providers, and hosting.
Audit
Evidence-based code and deployment review covering repository structure, authentication, database permissions, integrations, error handling, and production behaviour.
Plan
Written prioritized rescue plan separating urgent fixes, salvageable logic, structural improvements, and rewrite candidates with a clear quote.
Deliver
Implement agreed fixes, harden auth and data access, repair integrations, improve performance, deploy to your accounts, and provide operator handoff.

Can you fix an app built with Lovable, Bolt, Replit, or Cursor?
Yes. The work starts with an audit to understand what is reusable, what needs hardening, and what should be rewritten. I provide a written scope and quote after reviewing the repository and production behaviour—not before.
Do you promise a fixed rescue price up front?
No. Not before seeing the repository, deployment, and current failures. The audit determines scope and the written plan includes a clear quote for agreed work.
Will you rewrite everything from scratch?
Only if the audit shows salvage is unsafe or uneconomical. Often the domain logic is sound but auth, database access, error handling, or structure need hardening. Selective rewrite is common.
What problems are most common in AI-generated apps?
Typical issues include broken or incomplete authentication, unsafe database access or missing authorization, payment or webhook failures, frontend and backend bugs with missing error handling, slow performance, deployment or environment problems, and missing tests, monitoring, or maintainable structure.
Who owns the code after the rescue?
You own the repository and deployment in your controlled accounts. Source code and operating documentation are provided as part of the handoff.
Can you take it through payments and production deploy?
Yes, when included in the agreed scope. Third-party service fees and hosting costs are separate from the rescue work.
Do you work with non-technical founders?
Yes. The discovery call and written plan are provided in plain language. Technical decisions are explained clearly with trade-offs and recommendations.
Is this the same as ongoing product engineering?
Rescue is often a focused engagement to stabilize and ship. Larger roadmap work may continue under SaaS or AI consulting services when the foundation is solid.
