From Prototype to Production
AI tools like ChatGPT, Cursor, v0, and Bolt are brilliant for getting started. They generate working prototypes in hours. But production systems need engineering discipline — security, testing, error handling, monitoring, and deployment pipelines that a prompt cannot generate.

The gap between prototype and production
AI-generated code often looks correct but hides critical issues. Here is what we typically find and fix.
Security vulnerabilities
Hardcoded secrets, SQL injection vectors, missing authentication checks, exposed API keys, and insecure dependencies. AI tools optimise for functionality, not security.
No error handling or logging
When things go wrong in production — and they will — you need structured error handling, logging, and alerting. Most AI-generated code has none.
Zero test coverage
AI prototypes rarely include tests. Without them, every change is a gamble. We add unit, integration, and end-to-end tests that give you confidence to ship.
Missing CI/CD pipeline
Manual deployments via copy-paste are not a strategy. We set up automated build, test, and deployment pipelines so every release is consistent and safe.
Performance blind spots
N+1 queries, unoptimised images, missing caching, memory leaks. We profile your application and fix the bottlenecks before your users find them.
No monitoring or observability
If you cannot see what your application is doing in production, you are flying blind. We add health checks, metrics, and alerting.
How the process works
Code review
We review your codebase within 48 hours and deliver a scored report with specific findings.
Honest assessment
Some prototypes can be hardened. Others need rebuilding. We tell you which — with cost and timeline estimates for both.
Production hardening
Security fixes, testing, error handling, CI/CD, monitoring, and documentation. Everything a production system needs.
Handover and support
We hand over clean, documented, production-ready code with a maintenance guide and optional ongoing support.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost?
Pricing is tailored to the scope of your project. Book a free 15-minute call and I’ll give you a clear proposal with no obligation — no menus, no hidden fees, just a conversation about what you actually need.
How quickly can you review our code?
Initial code review is delivered within 48 hours. Full production hardening typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on the scope.
What if the code is beyond saving?
We give you an honest assessment. Sometimes a targeted rebuild of the worst parts is more cost-effective than patching. We will tell you which approach makes sense and why.
What technologies do you work with?
We specialise in TypeScript, Next.js, React, Node.js, Python, and .NET. For other stacks, we can bring in specialist partners from our network.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. We sign an NDA before reviewing any code. Your intellectual property is protected.
