Make your team's AI prototypes
real production software
Your HR, ops, sales, and engineering teams have been vibe-coding impressive demos. Now they need to handle real users, pass security review, and not leak data. We harden, scale, and operate them - or rebuild them right - so the work doesn't fall over the day it matters.

Overview
Impressive on Loom. Catastrophic in production.
AI coding tools made it easy for any team to ship a prototype - and that's a good thing. But your HR copilot, ops dashboard, sales agent, or internal RAG bot now has to handle real load, real users, real data, and real auditors. That's where the wheels come off.
We're real engineers. We take what your team built, find what's actually wrong, and fix it - security holes, brittle prompts, naive retries, missing evals, no observability, no rollback, no cost guardrails. We harden it, scale it, secure it, and operate it. Or, if it's beyond saving, we rebuild it right and bring your team along for the ride.
- Security & complianceThreat model, SAST/DAST, secrets handling, PII redaction, prompt-injection defense, SOC 2 / HIPAA controls.
- Reliability & scaleIdempotency, retries, queues, rate limiting, graceful degradation, headroom for 10× load.
- Performance tuningLatency, throughput, cost - measured and tuned to a real SLO, not a hopeful average.
- Maintain & evolveWe stay on - on-call, evals, model upgrades, new features - or we transition cleanly to your team.
What we fix
From vibe-coded demo to audit-ready production
We meet the code where it is - inspect, triage, fix, harden, and operate.
Security hardening
Auth, secrets, PII, prompt injection, output policy, audit logs - by-the-book, not by-the-vibe.
Data & state
Persistence done right - migrations, backups, idempotency, multi-tenant isolation.
Evals & QA
Golden sets, regression suites, and live-traffic shadowing - so you know when it actually works.
Observability
Tracing, metrics, cost telemetry, and dashboards integrated with your APM stack.
Scale & deployment
Container, cloud, queue, autoscale - production architecture for production traffic.
Performance
Profiling, caching, batching, model selection, prompt compression - real numbers, not vibes.
Operate or hand off
On-call under SLOs, or a clean knowledge transfer to your team. Your call.

How we work
Triage → Harden → Operate
A fixed-scope rescue that ends with a system you can stand behind.
- Phase 01
Triage
Honest audit across security, reliability, performance, evals, and cost. Written report and risk-flagged punch list.
- Phase 02
Harden
Fix the things that matter. Add evals. Add observability. Add the rollback. Test the failure modes.
- Phase 03
Productionize
Deploy under SLOs in your environment with real auth, real audit, real telemetry.
- Phase 04
Operate or transition
We stay on under managed operations, or we transition cleanly with knowledge transfer.
FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Everything decision-makers and engineers ask before kicking off.
No - we'll tell you what's working, what's risky, and what to fix first. Most internal AI tools we audit are genuinely useful - they just need the production layer that nobody had time to add. We bring that layer.
Whatever's right. The default is to keep what works and harden the rest - it preserves the team's effort and the institutional knowledge baked in. We only rebuild if the architecture genuinely can't survive what's being asked of it.
Yes - and that's the point. Your team built the thing because they understood the workflow better than anyone. We pair with them so the rescue compounds into real production AI muscle.
Most rescues end with a successful review (we've yet to fail one). We bring threat modeling, SAST/DAST, prompt-injection defense, PII redaction, audit logs, and a security paper trail your CISO will accept.
A diagnostic audit runs USD 15-30K and 1-2 weeks. A full rescue (audit + harden + productionize) typically runs USD 80-200K and 6-10 weeks depending on system size. We give you a fixed price after the audit.
We can - on-call, SLOs, evals, model upgrades, new features. Or we hand off cleanly with a knowledge transfer. Many customers start with managed ops and transition once their team is ready.
Free working session with a forward-deployed engineer
Show us the problem. We'll send back a written plan to fix it.
In 60 minutes with a senior engineer, you walk away with the gaps mapped, the agent worth building first, a risk read on what your team has already shipped, and a reference architecture - at zero cost, no obligation.
- Workflow map
Where the work breaks down today and which gap an agent should close first - calibrated to your business.
- Velocity diagnostic
Where engineering and ops hours actually go - and where forward-deployed delivery takes you next.
- Risk & rescue read
An honest view of what your team has already vibe-coded and what it needs to survive production.
- Architecture sketch
Reference architecture for your runtime, evals, RAG, and integrations - vendor-agnostic.
