Product & Infrastructure Audit
We evaluate your prototype end-to-end — the product itself (missing features, UX gaps, data model issues) and the infrastructure underneath it (no CI/CD, no tests, no monitoring). You get a clear picture of what is missing.
Production Foundation Build
Based on the audit, we build real infrastructure underneath your prototype — CI/CD pipeline, database architecture, authentication, error handling, monitoring, staging and production environments, and an automated test suite. Plus we address the product gaps identified in the analysis.
AI Guardrails Layer
We configure your AI coding tools (Cursor, Bolt, Lovable) with agent rules, project context, coding standards, and prompt templates specific to your codebase. Your vibe coding output goes from "prototype that might work" to "code that fits the architecture."
Ongoing Production Pod
Your fractional CTO: product adjustments, pipeline maintenance, AI guardrails updates, and continuous training so you keep vibe coding with confidence.
On-Demand Feature Development
Need a complex feature beyond vibe coding? Just describe what you want. We scope it, build it, and you only pay for what you asked for — no retainer surprises.
Scale When Ready
When your startup takes off, transition naturally into a full Dedicated Team or New Development engagement. You are already our client — the handoff is seamless.
Key Benefits
- Keep vibe coding the way you already do — we handle production
- No need to hire a CTO, a dev team, or learn DevOps
- Know exactly what your prototype is missing before investing in fixes
- Every feature you build gets reviewed, tested, and deployed safely
- AI guardrails make your vibe coding output dramatically better
- Flat monthly fee for ongoing support — no surprises, no hourly billing
You Built It. We Ship It.
You have a working prototype — maybe built in Bolt, Cursor, Lovable, or ChatGPT-generated code stitched together. It works well enough to demo, maybe even has early users. But you know it will not scale. You do not need a development team. You need a production layer underneath your vibe coding. Keep building the way you have been building — by describing what you want in plain language — and let us make the result actually go to production safely.
Phase 1: Vibe-to-Production Gap Analysis (Fixed Fee)
We audit your prototype end-to-end — not just the infrastructure, but the product itself. What features are missing? Where does the UX break down? Is the data model sustainable? Is there authentication, error handling, input validation? We evaluate the codebase quality, architecture patterns, and how well AI tools can work with the existing code. You get a detailed report with a prioritized roadmap: what needs to be fixed, what needs to be built, and what order to do it in. This is a standalone deliverable — use it to build with us or with anyone else.
Phase 2: Production Transformation Sprint (Fixed Price)
Based on the gap analysis, we execute on three fronts. First, Product Transformation — we address the product gaps identified in Phase 1: missing features, UX issues, data model fixes, authentication, error handling, and input validation. Second, Pipeline Transformation — we build real infrastructure underneath your prototype: CI/CD pipeline, database architecture, monitoring, staging and production environments, automated test suite, and the AI Guardrails Layer that configures your coding tools with agent rules, project context, and coding standards specific to your codebase. Third, Product Owner Training — we teach you how to send features to production: the workflow for submitting branches, how to write effective prompts with the guardrails in place, how to read test results, and how to use the deployment pipeline. By the end of the sprint, you can ship features on your own. 2–4 weeks.
Phase 3: Ongoing Production Pod (Flat Monthly Fee)
Your fractional CTO — a part-time Solutions Architect who keeps your product and pipeline evolving. The pod covers four areas: Product adjustments — ongoing fixes, improvements, and refinements to keep your product sharp as it grows. Pipeline maintenance — CI/CD updates, monitoring, infrastructure tuning, and AI guardrails updates as your codebase evolves. Product owner training — continuous coaching so you can keep vibe coding effectively, learn new workflows, and ship features with confidence. On-demand feature development — when you need a complex feature you do not want to build yourself, just describe what you want. We scope it, build it, and you only pay for what you asked for — no retainer surprises.
Your Fractional CTO
Think of the Production Pod as a fractional CTO. Someone who understands your codebase, keeps your infrastructure running, reviews your code, trains you on new workflows, and makes sure nothing breaks in production — at a fraction of the cost of hiring a full-time technical leader. Need a feature built that is beyond vibe coding? Just submit a request and pay only for that scope. When your startup takes off and you need to scale further, you are already our client. We transition you naturally into a full Dedicated Team or New Development engagement.
