The app that stalled before the finish, rebuilt to hold real customers.
An app that demos well is not the same as an app that works. The distance between the two is where payments fail, records leak, and the whole thing falls over on the first busy afternoon — and that distance is precisely what the new building tools leave behind.
The new building tools are extraordinary at the first eighty percent and quietly treacherous at the last twenty. They conjure a working demo in an afternoon, then leave the parts that carry a business — authentication, payments, data integrity, the code that holds under load — half-finished or missing altogether. The result is an application that looks complete, charms an investor, and then cannot take a customer’s card, or hands one person’s records to another, the moment it meets the real world.
We read what you have and tell you plainly what is sound, what is fragile, and what has to be rebuilt — before you spend a dollar on the work itself.
Checkout, subscriptions, and billing wired to Stripe properly and tested end to end, so customers can pay you.
Authentication, access rules, and database protections closed up, so records stay private and nothing leaks between accounts.
The code made to hold under real traffic — error handling, retries, and the infrastructure a live business depends on.
We preserve the working parts you already paid for and rebuild only what needs it, rather than starting the meter from zero.
You own the code and every account it runs on. No lock-in and no hostage-taking — walk with all of it whenever you like.
Usually a good deal of it. Most of these builds are sound in the parts a tool does well and fragile in the parts it does not — we keep the former and rebuild the latter. If starting clean is genuinely cheaper, we will tell you.
It depends on how much has to be rebuilt, so pricing follows the audit and comes to you as a fixed number before any work begins. There is no open-ended hourly meter.
Most run two to six weeks, depending on how deep the problems go. The audit tells us — and you — before we start.
Then we say so, and quote a clean rebuild instead of billing you to prop up something that cannot hold. Either way, you leave the audit knowing exactly where you stand.
All the common ones — the AI builders, the no-code platforms, and hand-written code left by a previous freelancer. The problems rhyme regardless of what produced them.
