Continuum Ship Fix (ours)

A fixed-price engagement that makes a broken AI-built app stable and shippable.[6]

What our own page says:

  • It is priced per job and agreed before work starts, with no hourly billing.[6]
  • A Ship Check reads the code first to show which end of the price range an app falls on, and its fee is credited against a Ship Fix.[6]

Limits and things to check:

  • It fixes what is costing the most rather than rewriting everything, so it does not hand you a fresh codebase.[6]

Pricing as reported for Continuum Ship Fix:

  • Ship Fix: $4,000 to $15,000 (scoped per app) [6]

Suits a founder whose AI-built app works in demos but breaks in production.
