Plain-language explanations

No jargon walls. Every technical finding translated to a business decision you can actually make.

Yours to share

Hand the report to any developer for competitive quotes — or use it to brief your next hire.

What we look for.

50+ specific concerns examined across architecture, security, scale, and operations. A representative sample below.

A representative sample50+ items

Security & data

Code health

5 of many

Is this for you?

We say no to most audit requests. Here's how to know in 5 seconds.

When yes
  • Non-technical founder with a live SaaS or late-stage MVP
  • Considering hiring engineers and want to know what's wrong first
  • Product built with Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, v0 — or a freelancer — and showing strain
  • Told to “start over” and want an honest second opinion

Even one of these is enough.

When no
  • Pre-build with no codebase yet
  • Have an internal engineering team already
  • Shopping purely on price
  • Want a rubber stamp, not a real assessment

We'll save you the money.

What does the week look like?

A focused, structured process — designed so you get clarity fast, not left hanging while we “investigate.”

Step 01

Book & onboard

You book the audit and complete a short questionnaire — stack, repo access, current pain points. We confirm scope within 24 hours and schedule the walkthrough call.

1–4
Step 02

Deep-dive review

We review the entire codebase, infrastructure, database, and dependencies. Architecture flaws, security holes, scalability risks, and code-quality issues — mapped and severity-ranked.

4–6
Step 03

Report & roadmap

We write the report: 10–15 pages, plain language, severity-ranked findings, prioritized roadmap with effort estimates. Delivered as PDF before our call.

5–7
Step 04

Walkthrough call

45 minutes. We walk you through every finding, answer every question, and help you decide what to do next. Call is recorded and yours to keep.

What the report actually contains

Real findings. Real file paths. Plain language.

These are redacted examples from past audits — exactly the format and depth you'll get. No vague “your code could be cleaner” advice. Specific file, specific line, specific fix.

criticalauth/login.ts:42

User passwords logged in plaintext on failed attempts

ImpactAny developer with log access — or anyone who exfiltrates a log file — can read user credentials. GDPR breach territory.

ts
// auth/login.ts
if (!validPassword) {
logger.warn(`Login failed for ${email}: ${password}`);
return res.status(401).json({ error: 'Invalid credentials' });
}
highapi/users/route.ts:87

N+1 query on /dashboard — p95 latency 2.3s

ImpactEvery dashboard load fires N database queries instead of 1. At ~600 active users this becomes the bottleneck that takes the product down.

ts
// runs once per user — fix with .include({ projects: true })
const users = await db.user.findMany();
for (const u of users) {
u.projects = await db.project.findMany({ where: { userId: u.id } });
}
highhooks/useAuth.tsx:67

Token refresh race condition under concurrent tabs

ImpactUsers with multiple tabs open get silently logged out at random. Looks like a bug to them, looks like a churn signal to your analytics.

tsx
// no mutex — both tabs refresh, second overwrites first with stale token
useEffect(() => {
if (tokenExpiringSoon(token)) {
refreshToken().then(setToken);
}
}, [token]);
mediumdb/schema.prisma:148

Missing index on Subscription.userId, slowing billing queries

ImpactStripe webhook lookups full-scan the table. Today it's fine; at 10k subscriptions you'll start seeing webhook timeouts and double-charges.

prisma
model Subscription {
id String @id @default(cuid())
userId String // ← no @@index([userId])
status String
createdAt DateTime @default(now())
}

Numbers above are typical — every codebase is different. Yours is probably worse than you think.

Most developers said it was impossible and I needed to start from the beginning. By chance I found Oussama — he was confident he could fix it and launched it in two weeks. Six months later we have 600 paying members who absolutely rave about it. I'm a non-technical founder. I built my MVP with vibe coding to hit a market window — it looked good, but behind the scenes it was a mess. Most developers said start over. I didn't have time. Oussama was confident he could fix it and launch in two weeks — and he did. We had 600 users in the first week. Six months later we have 600 paying members who absolutely rave about it. His team has continued to develop our software, and as a non-technical founder that reliability and peace of mind is worth its weight in gold.

Things you're probably wondering.

Straight answers to the questions every founder asks before paying.

About the audit

A 10–15 page written audit report (PDF) covering architecture, security, scalability, code quality, and infrastructure — every finding severity-ranked Critical/High/Medium/Low. A prioritized roadmap with effort estimates. And a 45-minute walkthrough call where we explain every finding in plain language. Delivered in 5–7 business days from kickoff.

That has never happened on a real audit — every codebase has something. But if we genuinely find nothing significant, we'll tell you that on the call and refund the audit fee in full. We'd rather lose the revenue than pretend a healthy product is broken.

Logistics & access

Yes — read access to the repository (GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket invite) and access to your hosting/infrastructure dashboards (Vercel, AWS, Supabase, Firebase, etc.). We sign an NDA before kickoff. No code is copied or stored beyond the audit window.

If we deliver the audit and you genuinely feel it wasn't worth $1,500, email us within 7 days of the walkthrough call and we'll refund in full. We've never had to issue this refund — but we'd rather offer it than have you hesitate to book.

After delivery

If you book a Build, Rescue, or Growth Retainer engagement with us within 30 days of receiving the audit report, we apply the full $1,500 as a credit against the first invoice. No coupon codes, no fine print — we just deduct it from your engagement total.

Only if it's true — and in our experience that's about 1 in 10 audits. Most products can be rescued and refactored faster than they can be rebuilt. The audit will give you an honest answer either way, with the reasoning behind it. We've talked founders out of full rebuilds more often than into them.
Ready when you are

Stop guessing.

Get the answer in a week.

One scoped deliverable. A clear path forward — with us or anyone else. No commitment beyond the audit itself.

We'll reply within a business day to confirm fit, scope, and timing.
