SERVICE_AUDIT // VCA_01

Your code works. But is it safe?

A technical audit for startups built with AI coding tools. We review what the AI wrote, find what it missed, and give you a clear path to production-ready.

AUDIT_BRIEF // 01

AI writes code that runs. It does not write code that scales, secures, or survives an investor's technical review.

Vibe-coded applications share the same failure patterns: hardcoded secrets in client-side code. No input validation. Authentication logic that trusts the browser.

Duplicate functions spread across files with no shared convention. Zero test coverage. These are not edge cases. They appear in nearly every AI-generated codebase reviewed to date.

The risk is not that the app crashes on day one. The risk is that it passes every demo, impresses every investor, then fails under real load, real users, or a real security scan.

AUDIT_SCOPE // 02

Four areas. One report.

MODULE_01

Security review

Authentication flows, data handling, exposed secrets, API surface, OWASP Top 10 coverage.

MODULE_02

Code quality

Naming conventions, duplication, separation of concerns, error handling, maintainability score.

MODULE_03

Scalability

Database query patterns, caching strategy, infrastructure readiness, load assumptions vs. reality.

MODULE_04

Dependencies

Third-party libraries, licence compliance, known CVEs, update status, supply chain risk.

DELIVERABLE // 03

A report your developer can act on. Or your investor can read.

Every audit produces a written technical report with severity-ranked findings, specific file references, and a prioritized fix roadmap. Written for two audiences: the technical person who will fix the issues, and the non-technical founder or investor who needs to understand the risk profile.

MANIFEST_ITEMS
  • Written technical report with severity rankings
  • Prioritized fix roadmap (what to fix first, what can wait)
  • 45-minute recorded walkthrough of findings
  • Optional: follow-up implementation support
PROCESS // 04

Three steps. Five to seven business days.

01.

SCOPING CALL

Free, 30 minutes. We look at your stack, discuss your concerns, and confirm whether an audit is the right move. No commitment.

02.

AUDIT PHASE

5–7 business days. Codebase access via GitHub or ZIP. NDA signed before access. Manual review by a senior engineer, not an automated scanner.

03.

DELIVERY

Written report delivered. 45-minute recorded walkthrough of every finding. Priority-ordered fixes so you know where to start.

INVESTMENT // 05

Transparent pricing. No retainers.

Audit pricing depends on codebase size and complexity. Most startup audits fall between €3,000 and €8,000.

Scope is confirmed on the free scoping call before any commitment. No hourly billing. No surprises.
