AI Writes Code.We Check If It's Right.

We catch bad tech choices before they become big, costly problems.

The biggest mistakes happen in the first 90 days. We stop them early.

1 Bad Choice

Can make you start over

90 Days

Before fixes get costly

6 Months

To undo bad code

$200K+

Cost if you wait too long

We Stop Bad Choices,
Not Just Build Stuff.

We Stop Bad Choices Early

Most costly mistakes happen in the first 6 months. We catch them before they cost you big money.

We Say No (AI Can't)

AI tools say yes to everything. They build whatever you ask. We ask "should this even exist?"

We Get You Ready to Sell

We know what buyers look for. We make sure your code tells the story you want it to tell.

We Know the Tech

React Native, Node.js, RevenueCat, Stripe, PostgreSQL, AWS

AI Made You Faster.
It Didn't Make You Safer.

AI coding has a hidden trap. You ship more code than ever. But you understand less of what you built. And no one is checking if it's right.

Your AI tools don't know:

  • Which choices you can undo, and which ones you are stuck with
  • Which shortcuts will kill a future sale of your company
  • Which bugs matter and which ones can wait
  • What investors look for when they check your code
  • When "good enough" turns into "can't be fixed"

AI makes code that looks right. But it can't make good choices.

What happens? Founders build the wrong thing. They find out 6 months and $200K later.

What AI Does vs. What You Really Need

AI Tools
The Truth
Write code
Don't see how it affects the whole app
Make tests
Don't know what really needs testing
Set up deploy tools
Can't fix them when they break
Suggest code patterns
Don't know what you'll need later
"Make it faster"
Don't see the business risks

AI makes code look nice. You need someone who knows when to say "don't build that."

Quick Check.

  • Has your code setup changed more than once already?
  • Are "for now" fixes still running in your live app?
  • Do you have tests, but no one trusts them?
  • Would you worry if an investor asked to see your code?

If any of these made you uneasy, that's the kind of risk we stop.

Who This Is For.

Ideal For Founders Who:

  • Founders who raised $500K to $3M
  • Teams shipping code faster than they can keep up with
  • Startups that need someone to check their choices before problems grow
  • Companies that want to be ready for buyers without starting over

Not For:

  • Very early teams (before you raise money)
  • People who just want code built, no questions asked
  • Bargain hunters looking for the cheapest option

If you're not sure you need this, you may not be ready for it yet.
