The beautiful tip of the iceberg
Most of what we build you'll never see. This is the part you can.

Your AI-built app works. Now make it last.
Vibe coding gets a product in front of users astonishingly fast. It does not leave behind tests, a deployment pipeline, monitoring, or anyone who can safely change the code. We close that gap: stabilise the fragile parts, remove the security holes, and put professional managed support behind it, without throwing away what already works.
Vibe coding gets you started. It doesn't get you supported.
The same speed that made the prototype possible leaves four predictable gaps behind it.
Maintenance gaps
Generated code often lacks structure, tests, and documentation. When something breaks, nobody on the team can confidently work out why or fix it without breaking something else.
Security vulnerabilities
Missing input validation, credentials committed to source, authentication and authorisation oversights, and dependencies nobody has reviewed. Fine for a demo, dangerous with real customers.
Missing infrastructure
No staging environment, no rollback procedure, no monitoring, no backups you have ever tested. Every deployment is a leap of faith.
Compounding technical debt
Prompt-driven changes pile complexity on complexity with no refactoring. Each new feature costs more than the last, until the app is too fragile to change at all.
We work with applications built in or with:
Three things we do, in order
Stabilisation
A code audit, the critical fixes, automated tests around the business logic that matters, and a CI/CD pipeline with a staging environment. No unnecessary rewrites: we keep everything that is working.
Managed support
Ongoing SLA-backed support covering bug fixes, feature requests, performance, security patches, and hosting, with monthly reporting and a named team who know the codebase.
Incremental improvement
Continuous refactoring during support so code quality rises without ever destabilising what users rely on. Over time the app becomes something any competent team could maintain.
Rescue or rebuild?
The assessment answers this candidly. Both paths end in the same place: a supported product with a dedicated team behind it.
Rescue: stabilise and support what you have
- Fix critical security issues and credential exposure first.
- Add error handling, validation, and tests around core logic.
- Stand up CI/CD, staging, monitoring, and backups.
- Transition into managed support with incremental refactoring.
- Preserves the working functionality your users already rely on.
Rebuild: clean foundations, same product
- Standards-based architecture on .NET and Azure, informed by what the prototype proved.
- Recommended only when repairing would cost more than starting properly.
- Often faster than rescue in the most severe cases.
- Delivered through our custom software development process with weekly staging releases.
- Moves into the same managed support afterwards.
Three steps from fragile to supported
Codebase assessment
We review the code, infrastructure, and deployment configuration, using AI-assisted analysis verified by senior engineers. You get a candid view of what is salvageable.
Stabilisation sprint
Security vulnerabilities and exposed credentials. Error handling and data validation. CI/CD pipeline and staging. Automated tests for core business logic. Monitoring and alerting.
Managed support
A dedicated team takes ownership of the codebase. Monthly activity and metrics reports. Quarterly reviews to recalibrate the SLA and plan the next improvements.
Senior engineers who also build with AI
We use AI tooling every day in our own AI software development work, so we know exactly where generated code tends to go wrong.
Lead engineer
Technical owner: runs the assessment, plans stabilisation, and stays your ongoing technical contact.
DevOps engineer
CI/CD, hosting, monitoring, backups, and safe deployment procedures on Azure or your existing platform.
QA engineer
Automated test coverage, security validation, and regression testing so fixes stay fixed.
Delivery manager
Your point of contact: coordinates the team, reports progress, and keeps scope honest.

Due diligence, already answered
Handing a live system to a new partner means trusting them with source code, credentials, and data. We make that easy to verify: our policies, certifications, and evidence are published openly in our Trust Centre, and the commercial terms we work to are set out in our Client Playbook.

Vibe coding rescue, answered
What is vibe coding?
Vibe coding is building software primarily by prompting AI tools such as Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude, ChatGPT, Lovable, or Bolt, often by non-developers or by developers working outside their usual stack, and accepting the generated code largely on the basis that it appears to work.
Can you work with any tech stack?
Our deepest expertise is .NET, Blazor, and Azure, and we regularly rescue modern web stacks including React, Next.js, Vue, Node.js, and Python. We confirm fit at the assessment stage rather than discovering it later.
Will you need to rewrite everything?
Usually not. Most projects keep their working core and are stabilised and improved incrementally. We recommend a rebuild only when the assessment shows repair would cost more than starting properly, and we tell you that in writing with the reasoning.
How much does the assessment cost?
It is a fixed-scope engagement of three to five days, priced on the size and complexity of the application and quoted after a short call. Our rate card is published.
What if I just need a one-off fix?
The assessment and stabilisation sprint stand alone. There is no obligation to continue into managed support, although most clients do once they have seen the monthly reporting.
Do I keep ownership of my code?
Yes. Repositories, hosting, and accounts stay in your name throughout, and all of our work is documented. Our Client Playbook sets this out contractually.
Is my prototype's data safe with you?
We sign an NDA before receiving code, handle secrets through Azure Key Vault rather than chat or email, and work to the policies published in our Trust Centre. The first thing we do is remove credentials from source control.
