01
Can users see data that isn’t theirs?
Logins, permissions and the database rules (Supabase RLS, Firebase rules) AI tools often leave open.
Launch reviews for AI-built apps
AI writes the code. I show you what it missed.
You built it with AI, and it works. I’ll look at what could go wrong when real users arrive, where unexpected costs might appear, and how the experience could be better. You’ll walk away knowing what’s working, what needs attention, and what’s worth improving next.

The gap I care about
AI coding tools are excellent at getting you from a blank page to a working product. Working is not the same thing as ready.
Some things need fixing. Some are worth improving. Others are better left alone.
What I review
What could go wrong, and what could be better.
I review your live app and your code. Not every area applies to every app. Your report covers the ones that do, with every finding prioritized.
Before more users depend on it
02
What happens when payments or APIs misbehave?
Stripe webhooks, double submissions, retries and rate limits.
03
What will users do that you didn’t plan for?
Refreshing mid-checkout, going back, retrying, or arriving from an old link.
04
Will a bug or a bill surprise you?
Error alerts, exposed keys, and spending limits on AI and other usage-billed services.
What would make it better
05
Does it feel like a real product?
Core flows, mobile layouts, error states and confusing moments.
06
Is it costing more than it should?
AI calls, hosting and services that could cost less without users noticing.
07
Will people find it and hear from it?
Onboarding, emails that reach the inbox, analytics and link previews.
08
What should change next, and what should stay?
What will slow your next features down, and what’s fine as it is. No premature rewrites.
What you get
Every finding tells you how urgent it is, and who should fix it.
The report uses the checklist’s urgency and next-step labels, and it also rates risk. Fixes you can safely make yourself come with a prompt to hand back to your AI tool. Riskier ones come with why they’re risky and a safe step you can take today.
Example findingIllustrative
Payment confirmation isn’t checked on the server.
- Who’s exposed now
- Anyone who can open the payment-success page without paying.
- What a partial fix would leave open
- Locking the success page can still leave the price coming from the browser, or the other way around.
- Why it matters
- Someone could unlock paid access without paying. A wrong fix can look like it works while the gap is still there.
- Safe step today
- Make one purchase in your payment provider’s test mode and note what unlocks.
- What I’d verify
- That paid access unlocks only after the payment provider confirms it, and stays locked if a payment fails or is refunded.
Illustrative example, not a finding from a client audit.
Included: a product review of your live app, a code review, a written report with every finding prioritized and labeled, and a 45‑minute walkthrough call.
Process + pricing
One audit. $500. Report in 5 business days.
01
Free 15-minute call
You show me what you built, where you are in the launch process and what you’re most unsure about.
02
Access + context
You share the live app and your code, whichever way is easiest: a GitHub invite, a ZIP download, or your Lovable or Bolt project. Not sure how? We'll sort it out on the call, and I'll send a short checklist.
03
Independent review
I review your app and code for reliability, product quality, architecture and growth readiness. I distinguish confirmed problems from areas that need more checking.
04
Report + walkthrough
We discuss what works, what to improve next, what can wait, and what you can tackle with AI versus experienced help. You’ll know where to focus and why.
Launch Readiness Audit
$500
founding price for the first 5 audits
For small web apps and MVPs, roughly up to 20 core screens. Larger apps are scoped separately.
Why a founding price? I’m opening five audits at this price while I build my first case studies. You get a senior review for less; I ask for honest feedback and, if it helped, a short testimonial.

- Solo founders, tiny teams and developers building with AI who have a working MVP but haven’t had a senior engineer look at it.
- Not included
- Formal penetration testing, SOC 2 / HIPAA certification, a full accessibility audit, or implementing the fixes.
- If you want help fixing it
- We can scope a separate Fix + Ship Sprint after the audit. The audit fee is credited toward a sprint booked within 30 days.
About
I’m Laura. I’ve shipped production software for 10+ years, and I’ve been the founder too.
I’m a senior software engineer with experience across frontend, backend, APIs, authentication, data and product UX. I’ve shipped inside larger engineering teams, owned systems end-to-end and built a product from zero as a co-founder.
I use AI coding tools every day, and they’re incredibly useful. What I care about is the gap between a convincing first draft and software you can actually trust. I’m keeping this small on purpose: a handful of audits, done carefully.

Questions
Before you share your code.
I’m not very technical. Will the report make sense to me?
Yes, that’s who it’s written for. I explain what I checked, what the evidence shows, and what to do next in plain English. Fixes you can safely make yourself come with a prompt you can hand back to your AI tool.
Why hire an engineer if my AI tool can review and fix my app?
Sometimes you don’t need to. AI can review code and handle many fixes. I bring the perspective of someone who’s shipped and maintained real products: what’s worth improving, which shortcuts are fine for now, what could become a problem as you grow, and how to verify important changes. AI will also confidently make changes that are hard to undo. I tell you which ones those are before you make them.
How do you handle access to my code?
However you're comfortable. You can add me on GitHub for the week and remove me when the report's done, or send a ZIP copy instead. I only read your code, never change it, and I never need your passwords or live API keys. For settings like backups and spending limits, I'll ask for a screenshot or a team invite you can remove afterward. When the audit's done I delete my copy, and I'm happy to sign an NDA.
Which tools and stacks do you review?
Most web apps built with Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, Replit or v0: typically React or Next.js with Supabase, Firebase or a Node backend, and Stripe for payments. If you’re on something else, ask on the intro call.
My app lives inside Lovable or Bolt. Can you still review it?
Usually, yes. Most of these tools can sync your code to GitHub. We’ll check on the intro call before you pay anything.
What if my app is already in good shape?
Then you’ll know it, with evidence. The report shows exactly what I checked, what I couldn’t check, and what’s working, plus the few improvements worth your time. I won’t recommend changes you don’t need.
Do you fix the issues too?
The audit is the review, not the fixes. Many issues are quick to fix yourself with the report. If you’d rather hand them off, we can scope a Fix + Ship Sprint, and the audit fee is credited toward it.
Before your next launch or update, know which fixes are safe.
