Ship Fix

It works, mostly. That is the problem.

Something got built fast, by an agency, a contractor, or an AI, and now every change breaks something else. I take it apart carefully and give you back a product you can actually ship from.

The short answer

How much does it cost to fix a broken or AI-built app?

A Ship Fix is $4,000 to $15,000, quoted as a fixed price before any work starts. The range depends on the size of the app and how deep the problems go, and a $299 Ship Check reads the code first to tell us which end of that range you are on before either of us commits.

Sound familiar
Deploys are scary, so you stopped doing them.
One fix creates two bugs somewhere unrelated.
Nobody can explain how a core part of it works.
The person who built it is gone, or is not answering.

$4,000 to $15,000

Where you land depends on size and how deep the rot goes. A $299 Ship Check tells us which end you are on before either of us commits.

Stabilise first. Improve second.

Nothing gets rewritten because it offends me. I fix what is actually costing you, in the order that lowers your risk fastest.

Stop the bleeding

Security holes, data loss risks, and the crash that keeps happening. Week one, always.

Make deploys boring

Tests around the parts that matter, a pipeline that catches mistakes, and a way back if something slips through.

Untangle the core

The one or two places where every change goes wrong. This is usually where most of the budget goes, and it is worth it.

Hand it back documented

Written down so the next person, me or otherwise, is not starting from nothing. You own all of it.

A takeover that stuck

TourPass came to me as somebody else’s codebase. I redesigned and refactored it, and I have been running it for two years since.

Send me the repo. I will tell you how bad it is.

Honestly, and including the version where you do not need me. I have talked people out of rebuilds more than once.

FAQ

Questions I get asked

How much does it cost to fix a broken or AI-built app?
Ship Fix is $4,000 to $15,000, quoted as a fixed price before I start. Where you land depends on the size of the app and how deep the problems go. A $299 Ship Check reads the code first and tells us which end of that range you are on, so neither of us commits blind.
Do you rewrite everything?
No. Nothing gets rewritten because it offends me. I fix what is actually costing you, in the order that lowers your risk fastest: stop the bleeding, make deploys boring, untangle the one or two places where every change goes wrong, then hand it back documented.
How long does it take?
It is scoped work, not open ended. Week one is always stopping the bleeding: the security holes, data-loss risks, and the crash that keeps happening. The fixed quote covers the whole scope we agree, so the timeline is set before I start.
Can you work on it while it stays live?
Yes, and whether it must keep running while I work is one of the things that sets the quote. I fix in an order that keeps a live product live, with a way back if something slips through.
