Pre-Launch Risk Check · 24h–5 days
I’ll tell you exactly what breaks when real users hit your app.
Built with Cursor, Supabase, or AI tools?
Most apps pass testing and fail in production.
I find the issues before your users do.
What you get
- What’s actually broken (not guesses)
- What will break under real users
- What to fix first (ranked by risk)
- A clear “ship / don’t ship” verdict
What happens after you buy
- 1.You send your app or repo
- 2.I review everything personally
- 3.You get a written breakdown with priorities
- 4.Optional: I fix the issues (separate scope)
Most issues don’t show up until real users hit your app
- ·User A can see User B’s data
- ·API keys exposed in the frontend
- ·Auth works for one account, breaks for multiple
- ·Payments succeed but access doesn’t update
- ·AI-generated code that fails outside the happy path
The question everyone asks
“Why would I pay for this when I can just ask my agent?”
Fair question. Here’s the honest answer, in three parts.
01
Your agent grades its own homework.
The system that wrote your app cannot independently judge the app it wrote. It will accept its own assumptions, miss systemic flaws, and overrate surface-level correctness. That is not an audit. That is confirmation bias.
02
You’ll get a list. You need a ranking.
An agent can produce 40 possible issues. It cannot tell you which 3 are dangerous, which 7 can wait, which one will kill trust, and which one is noise. People pay for prioritization under uncertainty. That is the sale.
03
Someone has to say “ship it” or “don’t.”
An agent will not put its name on a launch verdict. I will. You get a grade, a verdict, and a ranked list of what actually matters. If I think you should hold the launch, I’ll say so. That accountability is the thing.
Your agent can inspect what it built. A Vibe Check tells you whether to trust it, what’s actually risky, and what to fix before it costs you money or credibility.
Seven things that break apps.
I check all of them.
Who can log in. Who can see what. Whether your “admin-only” routes are actually admin-only.
What your API returns vs. what it should. Whether user A can see user B’s data.
Connection security, access controls, backup config. Whether your data survives someone poking at it.
Webhook verification, price manipulation, refund logic. The stuff that costs real money when it’s wrong.
Secrets management, exposed variables, production vs. dev settings. The boring stuff that causes spectacular failures.
Load times, query efficiency, asset sizes. Whether your app works for one user or a thousand.
Broken flows, dead ends, confusing states. Not a full UX audit. Just the things that make users leave.

VIBE CHECK REPORT
Three ways in
Start where you are.
Not ready to pay for human review yet? Start with a free automated scan. Already know you need the fixes done? Skip straight to a sprint. Most founders start in the middle.
Tier 01 · Self-serve
Free Scan
Automated. 60 seconds. No signup.
- Paste a public URL, get a scan
- Flags the obvious stuff: exposed keys, missing RLS, open endpoints
- Pro tier ($29 one-time or $79/mo) for private repos and scan history
Tier 02 · Human review
Vibe Check
$349· 5 business days
- Line-by-line review of security-critical code
- Ranked report: critical, important, solid
- Launch verdict: ship, ship with fixes, or hold
- Specific fixes you can hand to any developer
- One round of follow-up questions
- Full refund if nothing is actionable
Tier 03 · Implementation
Vibe Rescue
Sprint-based. Quote after review.
- I fix the critical findings from your Vibe Check
- Focused 1–2 week sprint. No open-ended retainer
- You ship with the holes closed
This is for you if
- ·You built an MVP with AI tools and you’re about to launch
- ·You’re a founder, not a developer. You can’t evaluate your own code
- ·You want honest answers, not a sales pitch for ongoing consulting
- ·You’d rather spend $349 now than find out the hard way later
Not for you if
- ·You have a senior dev on your team already (ask them, it’s free)
- ·Your app is still a prototype with no real users planned
- ·You already know you need implementation work. Start with a Vibe Rescue sprint instead
- ·You want a rubber stamp, not a real opinion
Why now
Every week you wait, the window gets wider.
The holes that exist in your app today exist for every new signup, every new integration, every new endpoint you ship. Finding them costs $349 and five days. Finding out about them the other way costs your launch, your credibility, or real money. I’ve seen all three. The founders who fixed it first are still running.
Who’s reading your code
I'm Matt, a technical co-founder who’s been shipping production software for 20 years. Startups, agencies, enterprise, my own products.
I've seen what breaks. Auth systems that looked solid until someone guessed the admin URL. Payment flows that worked perfectly until a user changed the price in a POST request. Environment variables committed to public repos.
I started Vibe Check because I kept having the same conversation: smart founders, working products, obvious holes. AI gave them the ability to build. Nobody gave them a way to independently verify what they built.
That's what this is.
Questions
You can. They will hand you a list. The problem is that the same system that built your app is now grading its own homework, and it will tell you the same things it thought were fine the first time. A Vibe Check is the opposite of that. It is a senior developer with 20 years of shipping production software, no emotional stake in your code, telling you what is actually risky, what to fix first, and whether I would ship this. Agents inspect. I judge.
Most of what AI tools generate. React, Next.js, Node, Python, Supabase, Firebase, Vercel, Netlify. If you’re not sure, ask. I’ll tell you straight if it’s outside my wheelhouse.
The Vibe Check is a review. I find the issues, rank them, and tell you what I would do. If you want the fixes implemented, that’s a Vibe Rescue sprint, scoped separately after you see the report. No pressure, no retainer pitch built into the audit.
Then you get a short report that says you’re good, and you launch with confidence. Full refund if I don’t find anything actionable. Hasn’t happened yet. I’d be happy to be wrong.
I use read-only access. I don’t copy, store, or share your code. Once the review is done, I revoke access. Happy to sign an NDA if you need one.
Yes. A lot of people do. Better to find out now than after something goes wrong. The sooner the holes close, the shorter the window someone has to find them.
