VIBE-CODING RESCUE

Vibe-coded MVPs, AI-generated prototypes, fast early builds - we'll tell you honestly what needs fixing, what can stay, and what it'll take to get it production-ready.

MVP & Vibe Coding Rescue

Your prototype got you to validation. Now it needs to survive a technical review, a security audit, or a regulated market.

From £5,000

When you need this
  • Your vibe-coded or AI-generated MVP is heading into due diligence
  • You're entering a regulated market and the codebase isn't ready
  • A new CTO has flagged serious technical or compliance debt
  • You need to scale something that wasn't built to scale
  • Cursor
  • Bolt
  • Lovable
  • Replit
  • Compliance gaps
  • Technical debt
  • Refactoring
  • Code audit
  • Architecture review
Let’s talk about your project

How we approach it

  1. 01

    Full technical audit of the existing codebase before we touch anything

  2. 02

    Compliance gaps identified and prioritised

  3. 03

    Architecture refactored where needed, preserved where it works

  4. 04

    Senior engineers only

What you get

A codebase that holds up under scrutiny - compliant, maintainable, and ready for the next stage of growth.

MVP & Vibe-coding rescue

What a rescue covers

Every rescue starts with an honest audit. Here's what we look at.

  • Code Quality & Architecture

    We assess the codebase honestly: structure, dependencies, technical debt. You get a clear picture of what's there before any decisions are made.

    • Code review
    • Technical debt
    • Refactoring

  • Security & Data Handling

    Patient data, access control, encryption - we identify where the codebase falls short of what a regulated environment demands.

    • GDPR
    • HIPPA
    • Penetration testing

  • Compliance Gaps

    We map your codebase against the regulatory requirements of your target market - DSPT, MDR, HIPAA, and flag what needs to change before you face scrutiny.

    • MDR
    • DSPT
    • FDA

  • Scalability & Performance

    Built for ten users, needed for ten thousand. We identify where the architecture will break under load and what needs to change before it does.

    • Load testing
    • Performance

  • Test Coverage & QA

    Vibe-coded products rarely have adequate test coverage. We assess what's there, fill the gaps, and put a proper QA process in place.

    • Unit testing
    • Automation

  • Documentation

    Fast builds rarely come with documentation. We document what's there so your team — and ours — can maintain and extend it confidently.

Process

How we work

  1. 01

    Assess

    We assess the codebase before touching anything. You get a clear picture of what's there and what it'll take to fix it.

  2. 02

    Prioritise

    What's critical, what can wait, what's fine as is. You're not paying to rebuild things that work.

  3. 03

    Stabilise

    Security vulnerabilities, compliance gaps, architectural issues - fixed. A codebase a senior engineer would stand behind.

  4. 04

    Extend

    New features, scaling infrastructure, new markets, built on foundations that hold.

Built on experience

Why teams choose us for MVP Rescue

Rescuing a codebase takes experience and the discipline not to rebuild things that don't need rebuilding. Here's what that looks like in practice.

  • We assess before we touch

    Zero

    Assumptions

    Every rescue starts with an honest audit. We don't start fixing until we know exactly what's there, and we tell you the truth about what we find.

  • Senior engineers only

    No

    Juniors

    Inheriting someone else's codebase takes experience. The engineers who assess and fix your product have done it before, in regulated environments where the stakes are real.

  • We fix what needs fixing. Nothing more

    No

    Unnecessary rebuilds

    Most MVPs are more salvageable than they look. We keep what works, fix what doesn't, and don't charge you to rebuild things that are fine.

  • Compliance built in

    GDPR, DSPT

    Ready

    Security and compliance gaps are the most common (and most expensive) issues we find. We fix them properly, not superficially.

The challenge

A digital health startup needed to move from concept to a compliant NHS-ready product fast, without cutting corners on DSPT and GDPR requirements. The risk was building something that looked ready but wouldn't survive regulatory scrutiny or stakeholder review.

What we delivered

We delivered a DSPT- and GDPR-compliant MVP in two months. Deployed on Azure, tested with stakeholders, and built so it could grow after the launch.

FAQ

Questions teams ask before reaching out

  • How long does a rescue take?
    It depends on what we find. A focused stabilisation - fixing critical security and compliance issues, can take four to eight weeks. A more significant architectural overhaul takes longer. We scope it properly after the audit before committing to a timeline.
  • Do you work with AI-generated or vibe-coded codebases?
    Yes, regularly. They're fast to build and get you to validation quickly. They rarely survive due diligence, a security review or a regulated market without work. That's exactly what we're here for.
  • What if the codebase is worse than expected?
    We tell you. Honestly, clearly, and with a plan. We don't start fixing without your sign-off on what the work involves and what it'll cost. No surprises mid-project.
  • Can you make it compliant for a regulated market?
    Yes. Compliance gaps are the most common issue we find in MVPs heading into regulated markets. We map your codebase against the requirements - HIPAA, GDPR, DSPT, MDR - and fix what needs to change before you face scrutiny.
  • How do you know if an MVP is salvageable?
    Most are. The audit tells us. We assess the architecture, security, compliance gaps and test coverage, then give you an honest picture of what needs fixing and what can stay. We've rarely found a codebase that needed to be thrown away entirely.
