A user can see another user's data.
The screens look right, but the access rules underneath may not be enforcing ownership.
Vibe to Viable
Vibe coded your MVP?Now make it business-ready.
You used AI to get from idea to working product fast. I help find the hidden security, data, reliability, and change risks, then fix what matters so you can put real users and customers on it with confidence.
Audit lens
What "it works" can still hide.
The demo can look solid while the product underneath is carrying risks a non-technical founder should not have to guess about.
A small change quietly breaks something old.
The product keeps moving, but the important flows have no reliable safety net.
Errors disappear instead of becoming traceable.
When something fails, you need enough signal to know what happened and what to fix first.
The awkward middle
It is no longer a prototype. But you are not quite sure it is a product either.
This is where vibe-built software gets uncomfortable: it works well enough to create momentum, but you do not know which shortcuts are harmless and which ones are waiting to become expensive.
You hesitate before inviting more users.
Security is harder to explain than it should be.
Every new prompt feels slightly more dangerous.
You can ship, but cannot yet explain the engineering.
Start here
The Vibe Code Rescue Audit.
Before changing anything, I establish what is actually true. You get a senior-engineering view of the product, translated into decisions you can make.
You are not buying a list of technical complaints.
You are buying clarity: what can stay, what must change, what can wait, and why.
Architecture
Where the product is structurally sound, tightly coupled, fragile, or unnecessarily complex.
Security
Authentication, authorization, data exposure, secrets, unsafe endpoints, and obvious abuse paths.
Data
Validation, integrity, destructive operations, migrations, backups, and places bad input can create bad state.
Reliability
Error handling, logging, third-party failures, and whether you can tell what happened when something breaks.
Change safety
Tests, deployments, risky dependencies, and how likely the next feature is to damage an old one.
Scale
The bottlenecks that matter for your likely next stage, without prematurely engineering for millions.
What you leave with
A rescue plan, not a code review.
Everything is ranked by business consequence, not engineering neatness.
Safe to leave alone
Things that may be inelegant but are not currently hurting the product. No gold-plating.
Fix before more users
Security, data, and reliability risks that can become incidents, lost trust, or expensive rework.
Fix before the next stage
Structural issues that will slow you down as the product, customer base, or engineering team grows.
From vibe to viable
Rescue what you built. Keep the speed that got you here.
Find the truth
Audit the product and separate real risk from code that merely looks unconventional.
Close the dangerous gaps
Fix the security, data, and reliability issues that can hurt users or the business.
Strengthen the foundation
Improve the parts that make future changes safer and the next stage easier to support.
Keep shipping safely
Continue using AI for speed, with senior engineering oversight around what reaches production.
Good fit / bad fit
For founders who want to preserve momentum, not start over.
Good fit
- You used Claude, Cursor, Lovable, Replit, Bolt, or similar tools to build a real working product.
- You already have users, pilots, or a launch close enough that reliability now matters.
- You like the product and want to rescue the engineering underneath it.
- You want one senior person accountable for judgment and execution.
Probably not a fit
- You only have an idea and need someone to build the first version.
- You want a generic code quality score with no remediation.
- You want the cheapest possible patch regardless of future consequences.
- You need a staffed development agency rather than focused engineering ownership.

You vibe coded the app.I make it viable.
Start with a rescue audit. You will get a straight answer on what is safe, what is risky, what to fix first, and what not to waste time on.
