Launch Readiness Review

“Is my product ready for customers or does it need rework?”

Your product was built with AI tools or by developers, and you want to be sure it won’t fall over or leak data when real users show up.

Who it’s for

You’re a good fit if you…

  • are about to launch or sign your first paying customer
  • can’t judge the code yourself, or nobody independent has looked at it
  • are deciding whether to build on what you have or start over

Probably not a fit if you…

What you get

  • A hands-on check: I run your system and review how it’s built, tested, and secured
  • A written report with findings ranked by severity: what’s ready, what needs work, and the risks
  • A plan to launch with best-case and realistic timelines
  • Running costs checked against what you expect customers to pay
  • A walkthrough call and answers to follow-up questions for two weeks

How it works

One to three weeks, from the discovery call to the report.

  1. Discovery call

    Free

    We talk about your product, your plans, and what worries you. You get a sense of how I work.

  2. Fixed quote

    Within two working days

    A fixed price and a timeline, based on the tier and what you need.

  3. Review

    One to three weeks

    I set up and run your system, go through the code, tests, and infrastructure, and talk to whoever built it.

  4. Report and walkthrough

    Right after the review

    You get the written report, then we go through it on a call. I answer follow-up questions for two weeks.

Prototype, pre‑launch, or soft launch

The tier follows where your product is. Within a tier, integrations, the kind of data, and the urgency set the fixed quote.

Prototype

From €2,000

From 1 week

A working prototype, no paying users yet. One app, a few integrations.

Integrations
A few
Team or vendor involvement
You, or one developer
Urgency

Pre‑launch

From €3,500

From 2 weeks

Preparing to launch, or with first test users. Several services or integrations, personal or payment data.

Integrations
Several, such as payments and email
Team or vendor involvement
One developer or a small team
Urgency
A launch date in sight

Soft launch

From €6,000

From 2 weeks

Out as an MVP or a limited release and about to open to a much wider audience. Several apps or services, sensitive data, built by a team or an agency.

An AI-built platform, reviewed before launch

Survey platform for a safety consultancy, UK, 2026

The founder was a business owner without a technical background. Using a sophisticated multi-agent AI coding process, he had spent several months building a survey platform for large organizations. Tens of thousands of employees would answer its surveys. Before launch, he wanted to be sure it would hold up: under load, against security and GDPR requirements, and in real-world use. In two weeks I set up and ran the whole system, went through the code, the tests, and the planned infrastructure, and checked what the documentation claimed against what the system actually did.

The platform was in good shape overall. The report listed about 130 findings, a handful critical or high and the majority medium or low, ranked into a plan for what to fix before launch. Typical patterns of AI-built software emerged: components built in isolation that didn’t connect to each other, safeguards that were built but never switched on, and tests that existed but never ran. The founder handed the findings to his AI coding agents to fix straight away.

Common questions

What do you need from me?

Access to the code and to your hosting and test setups, any documentation, and an hour or two with whoever built the product. If something can’t be shared, we agree on a way around it before the review starts.

My product was built with AI tools. Is that a problem?

No. Many products are built that way now, and some are built very well. The typical gaps are different, though: parts that work on their own but aren’t connected, tests that exist but never run, warnings that are switched off, and features that report success without doing anything. Those are what I look for.

Do I need this package or the Scale Readiness Review?

This one looks broadly at the whole product before a launch: a first release, or opening an MVP or a soft launch to a wider audience. If your product is already running and growing, and you’re building on it, the Scale Readiness Review fits better: it goes in depth into the areas you choose.

What happens after the review?

You decide. Many founders work through the findings with their own AI tools or developers, using the report as their to-do list. I’m happy to help with that too, and half the review fee counts toward ongoing support if you start within two months.

Where does your product stand?

Tell me what you’re building and what’s on your mind. In a free call we work out the next step, whether that’s working together or something you can do yourself.
