You launched. Now learn to ship.

You built 90% with AI.
Now find out if the other 10% will sink you.

A senior engineer reads your entire codebase — the one Cursor, Lovable, or v0 built — and shows you exactly what's solid, what's broken, and what to fix first. You watch everything. You approve every plan. You keep every artifact.

// The 90% Wall

You shipped fast with Cursor, Lovable, Bolt.
Now you're almost done stuck.

Sound familiar?

🔒
Auth keeps looping Supabase sessions break on refresh. Users get logged out randomly. RLS? Nonexistent.
🚀
Works in preview, breaks on deploy Local dev is fine. Production throws 500s. Environment variables leaking into client bundles.
🤖
AI overwrote your working code You asked for a "small change." The agent rewrote three files. Now nothing works and git log is a crime scene.
🗺️
Nobody knows what it actually does Features drifted from specs that never existed. The docs are gone; only the agent that wrote it "knows."
🔑
Secrets exposed in the client API keys committed to git. Stripe webhooks unprotected. Anyone with DevTools can see everything.
🐛
No tests, no safety net Every change is a gamble. You're afraid to touch anything because something else will break.

The last 10% is where customers, revenue, and reputation live. That's the part we look at.

● Founding rate — 5 seats remaining

The first five Health Checks are $500.

You get the $750 Code Health Check at the founding rate. I get your testimonial when we're done — you're helping me sharpen the process, I'm helping you find out what's underneath your app.

When the five are gone, it's $750. No countdown timers, no "reopening later" — that's the whole mechanic.

Three offers. One direction: ownership.

Start with the audit. Everything after it is optional — and designed to make itself unnecessary.

STEP 02

The Setup

Scoped from your audit
  • Specs generated from what's already built — including the surprises, good and bad
  • Tests that match those specs — bugs pinned deliberately, so fixes are decisions
  • CI wired up — the tests run forever, on every change
  • Then we fix what the process found — safely, because the guardrails now exist
  • You keep everything: specs, tests, pipeline — in your repo
⏱ Typically 2–4 weeks
STEP 03

Fractional AI CTO

$2,400/mo · 5 seats, 2 open
  • Weekly code sweep: security, spec drift, architecture, missing tests, dependencies
  • Your system remembers what we fixed and why — knowledge accumulates in your repo
  • 20 hrs/month · overage at $150/hr · no rollover — no hours you don't need
  • Quarterly graduation review — this engagement is designed to end
🔄 Cancel anytime. The door stays open.

Find It or Free

If your Code Health Check finds nothing worth fixing, you pay nothing.

AI-generated codebases always have something — exposed secrets, broken auth, silent data loss, dead features nobody can reach. I've never read one that came back clean. If yours is the first, the audit is free — and I'll say so right here on this page.

Designed so you need me less

Most agencies sell retainers. We sell the ending.

The Health Check tells you where you stand. The Setup installs your guardrails — specs, tests, CI — so your app stops you (and your AI) from breaking things. The CTO seat keeps watch while you grow.

Every step leaves the knowledge in your repo: your specs, your tests, your decision history. When you don't need me anymore, that's not churn — that's the product working.

Graduated founders keep vibing on their own stack. And when you're ready for more — a platform where the guardrails are built in, where the system itself keeps getting smarter — you'll be first to know.

Built by someone who's been shipping software for 20+ years.

Vibe to Viable is run by Conroy Whitney, a senior full-stack engineer (Rails, React, TypeScript, React Native) and founder of Reification Labs.

I've been a senior software engineer for 20+ years, shipping code where outages cost millions. I've also been the flaky freelancer who overpromised and moved on. I know both sides of this relationship — which is why every offer on this page is fixed-price, artifact-first, and designed to end well.

After watching the AI coding boom create a generation of "90% done" products, the pattern was familiar: the code looks modern, the demos are impressive, and the foundation is sand. History rhymes — the AI slop refactor wave is here. We do the systems thinking your AI skipped.

Fair questions

Do you need access to my code?

Yes — read-only, and you watch everything. You initiate every action and approve every plan. Your repo never leaves your hands, and nothing gets changed during the audit.

Can't I just ask Claude or ChatGPT to review it?

You can ask it anything except the question that matters: what did it actually build, end to end, running? That takes a human reading your real code with fresh eyes. That's the whole offer.

What if you find nothing?

Then it's free. See the guarantee above — I've never had it happen.

What if you find something catastrophic?

You'll know exactly what it is, what it costs you, and the fix path — before you spend another dollar. That's what the $750 buys: certainty.

I'm not technical — will I understand the report?

The report is written for you, not for engineers. Plain English first, code references second. And the 1-hour walkthrough is where you can ask anything.

Why $750?

A senior engineer's read of your entire codebase, a written report, and a live hour together. Comparable audits run $799 and up — with a 30-minute call.

Is this a retainer trap?

No. The audit is fixed-price with one deliverable, and every artifact stays in your repo when we're done. The retainer that exists is capped at five seats, published on this page, and designed to end.

Who is this NOT for?

Pre-launch ideas with no codebase, VC-funded teams who should hire full-time, and anyone wanting "done for you" with zero involvement. This works best for solo founders who want to own what they built.
