Build-to-Market Review

You built the product. Will it survive contact with customers?

AI coding tools got you to working software. A fixed-scope review shows what stands between it and paying customers.

What the review covers

  • Code and security review
  • Deployment and infrastructure readiness
  • Data protection and POPIA / GDPR position
  • Maintainability and handover risk
  • Route to market and commercial readiness

Delivered as a written report and a one-hour walkthrough with your team. No technical knowledge required to read it.

Five questions. An honest answer in under a minute.

0 of 5 answered
Has anyone other than an AI tool reviewed the code for security issues?
Independent review of access control, credentials and data handling.
Do you know exactly where your customer data is stored, and who can reach it?
Including any third-party or AI services the product sends data to.
Is there a tested backup you could restore from today?
A backup that has actually been restored at least once.
Could a developer you have never met take over the product next month?
Documentation, repository access, environments and dependencies.
Could you honestly complete a corporate client security questionnaire?
The document procurement sends before signing anything.

Answer all five to see your risk level. Nothing is recorded or sent anywhere.

Working software and a launchable business are not the same thing

A prototype that runs on a laptop or a preview link is proof that the idea works. Putting it in front of paying customers introduces four categories of risk that AI coding tools do not address, because nobody has asked them to.

Is it safe to put in front of customers?

Generated code frequently ships with credentials in plain text, no access controls between user accounts, and no protection against common attacks. These are not visible from the interface. The product looks like it works.

The business exposure: one customer able to see another customer's data is a reportable breach, not a bug.

Will it stay up, scale, and recover?

A demo environment is not a production environment. Live products need monitoring, tested backups, a way to release changes without downtime, and cost controls on the cloud and AI services they consume.

The business exposure: an outage during your first enterprise pilot, with no restore point and no one on call.

Where does the data live, and who may see it?

If the product handles personal information, POPIA and GDPR obligations apply from the first real user. That covers where data is stored, which third-party services process it, how long it is kept, and what happens when someone asks for it to be deleted.

The business exposure: a corporate client's security questionnaire that the product cannot honestly pass.

Can anyone other than the AI change it?

Code assembled through conversation is often undocumented, untested and structured in a way no engineer would choose. That is manageable at ten users and expensive at ten thousand, when every change risks breaking something else.

The business exposure: a product that cannot be improved, valued or handed over, and a rebuild you pay for twice.

Fixed scope, fixed price, no retainer required

Start with the review. Continue only if it makes commercial sense to.
