Prototype to Production

Your prototype works. Now make it ready for real users.

$15,000 to $45,000 fixed. 4 to 8 weeks. Starts with a $2,500 audit.

AI tools can get you to a working demo in days. Getting from that demo to something real customers can sign up for, pay for and rely on is a different job. That is the job we do. We keep the product decisions you have already made and rebuild only the parts that cannot survive production.

This is for you if

  • You have a prototype people like, and you are nervous about putting real users or real payments through it.
  • Your web app works, and you now need it in the App Store and on Google Play.
  • An investor, customer or security review has asked questions about the code that you cannot answer.
  • You built it yourself or with a small team, and nobody is sure what happens when 1,000 people use it at once.

What we make production-ready

The audit decides which of these your product needs. You only pay for the work that applies.

  • Sign-in and permissions. Secure authentication, roles, password recovery and session handling.
  • Data you can trust. A sound database structure, migrations, backups and a tested restore.
  • Security. Secrets out of the code, inputs validated, access rules checked, dependencies reviewed.
  • Payments. Subscriptions and one-off payments that handle failures, refunds and receipts properly.
  • Automated tests. Coverage on the paths that make you money, so changes stop breaking things.
  • Monitoring. Error tracking, logging and alerts, so you hear about problems before your users tell you.
  • Infrastructure. Repeatable deployments, separate staging and production, and room to scale.
  • Mobile release. Native iOS and Android builds, App Store and Google Play submission, offline behaviour and testing on real devices.
  • Handover. Documented architecture and a walkthrough, so your own team can run it.

It starts with a Production Readiness Audit

$2,500 fixed. 3 to 5 days.

We read your code, run your product and test it the way real users would. You get a written report that covers:

  • What is sound and stays as it is.
  • What has to be fixed or rebuilt before launch, in priority order.
  • A fixed price and timeline to do that work.

The report is yours to keep and act on with anyone. If you go ahead with us, the $2,500 comes off the price.

You see progress every week

  1. A new release in a staging environment you can use.

  2. A short written update: what was done, what is next, anything we need from you.

  3. A 30-minute call to review it together and adjust priorities.

If you want something that was not in the agreed scope, we price it before we build it. The decision is always yours.

Everything is yours at launch

  • All code, in your repository.
  • All infrastructure and accounts, in your name.
  • Full intellectual property rights.
  • 30 days of support for questions after handover.

We build on standard, widely used technology. Nothing depends on us, and nothing needs a licence from us to keep running.

Questions

Will you throw away what we built?

Only the parts that cannot be made safe. The audit tells you exactly which parts those are and why. Your screens, flows and product decisions carry forward.

What if the audit says it needs a full rebuild?

Then we say so, with the reasons. The audit becomes the specification, and we quote the rebuild at a fixed price. You can take that quote to anyone.

Does it matter which AI tool we used?

No. We work from the code and the running product, whatever produced them.

Can you turn our web prototype into a mobile app?

Yes. Mobile is our specialism. We work across native and cross-platform stacks, choose the one that suits your product, and handle the store submissions.

What does the 30-minute review cost?

Nothing. You show us what you have, and we tell you what we see. There is no obligation to buy the audit.

Show us what you have built.

In 30 minutes we will tell you what stands between your prototype and launch.
