“The senior engineer who scopes your work is the one who does it, working with you directly. No handoffs. No juniors learning on your dime. Every person who touches your product has 12+ years of production software behind them.”
You validated the idea with Lovable, Replit, Cursor, or v0. We do the part AI didn't — the right architecture, security, performance, and scale — so it survives real customers. Senior engineers, 12+ years at Fortune 500 companies. Fixed prices, pay on approval.
The $995 buys a full audit with a written report and roadmap — not a per-task patch. Something actively broken with real users? Say so when you book and we'll point you at the fastest path first.
Figures reflect our engineers' prior careers — not Yellow Labs company stats. We're a new studio, and we're upfront about it.
AI answers the prompt you wrote. It never asks whether the stack fits your product, whether the auth would survive a hostile user, or what happens at ten times the load. Those are judgment calls — and they're exactly what the audit covers.
AI picks technology from how you phrased the prompt, not from what your product needs — “React apps” with no reusable components, back ends built like it’s 2014.
Vibe-coded apps routinely ship with broken access control, exposed keys, and payment flows that were never tested against a hostile user.
Duplicated code, no separation of concerns, no design system. Fine for validating an idea — expensive the moment you add feature two.
Unindexed queries, oversized bundles, N+1 calls. Works with 10 test users, falls over with 500 real ones.
No error tracking, no logs, no analytics. Your first alert is a customer leaving. We wire in the instruments production requires.
The audit ends with a production-readiness roadmap: what to fix, in what order, at what cost — whether we do the fixing or you do.
Start with a fixed-price audit that proves our judgment before you commit to anything bigger. Every step after it is quoted up front and paid on approval.
A senior engineer reads your AI-built codebase and delivers a written report: stack fit, security, architecture, performance, and a production-readiness roadmap.
Fixed price — from $995 · 5 business days
We fix what the audit found — auth, payments, data, security, scale. The parts vibe coding breaks. Fixed quote from the audit, so you know the cost before you commit.
Fixed quote after audit · Pay on approval
New features on the hardened base — scoped, priced, and delivered sprint by sprint. You approve the result before you pay.
Fixed scope · Pay on approval
More client work than your team can build — or a client sitting on an AI-built mess? We're the white-label partner that handles it: senior engineers, fixed-scope sprints, invisible to your client.
Senior judgment is the product. AI can write code. It cannot tell you the stack is wrong, the auth is unsafe, or the architecture won’t survive success. That takes engineers who have shipped and operated production software for 12+ years — which is what you get here, and all you get here.
The person who audits it hardens it. No account managers, no junior handoffs after the sales call. The senior engineer who reads your code writes the report and leads the sprint that fixes it.
Fixed prices, pay on approval. The audit has a price on it. Sprints are quoted from the audit and paid when you approve the result. Your risk is capped at every step — no open-ended hourly meter.
Your code, your repo, from day one. Everything we write lands in your repository as we write it. Walk away at any point with everything you paid for. No lock-in, no hostage code.
Senior quality at a solo-founder budget. Our cost base isn’t San Francisco’s — so the same seniority US agencies sell costs a fraction here. That’s geography, not a compromise, and we’d rather say it plainly.
Yes — that is exactly what we do. We work with codebases from Lovable, Replit, Cursor, Bolt, v0, and hand-prompted AI builds — the work some founders call vibe code rescue. The audit starts from whatever you have: a repo, an export, or just a live URL. You do not need to explain the code — reading it is our job. And building with AI was not a mistake: it is the fastest way to validate an idea. AI-generated code is not bad code; it is unreviewed code. We are the review.
A written report covering five things: whether the stack your AI chose actually fits your product, security holes (auth, payments, data exposure), architecture and scalability, performance, and a concrete production-readiness roadmap. Fixed price from $995, delivered in 5 business days. If we then quote a hardening sprint, the audit tells you exactly what you are paying to fix and why.
Yes. Every finding is written in plain language first — what it is, what happens if you ignore it, what it costs to fix — with the technical detail underneath for any engineer you show it to. The report is designed to be handed to an investor, a co-founder, or another developer and hold up.
Senior engineers — every one of them with 12+ years building enterprise software, on products used by millions. The engineer who audits your code is the one who hardens it. No juniors, no account managers, no handoffs.
Because our cost base is not San Francisco’s. We are a remote studio; comparable audits from US and European agencies run two to three times our price for the same scope. Same seniority, different rent. We would rather say that plainly than pretend the price is magic.
Because you are buying an outcome, not our time. The audit is a fixed price. The hardening sprint is a fixed quote based on the audit — and you pay when you approve the result. Your risk is capped at every step, which matters when you have never worked with us before.
Three options, all fine with us: fix the findings yourself with the roadmap, hand the report to another developer, or have us run a production-hardening sprint at a fixed quote. The report is yours either way — no lock-in, and your code lives in your repo from day one.
The studio is new — the people are not. And the engagement is built so trust is earned in steps: a fixed-price audit proves our judgment before you commit to anything bigger, you pay for sprints on approval, and everything we write lands in your repository, so you are never hostage to us.
No jargon, no open-ended engagements. Each step has a clear deliverable and a clear price, so you always know where things stand.
Recent client work — like the bilingual website we built for Ashirvad Consultancy, a 32-year-old finance advisory firm — is live and public. And the clearest proof of how we think is the audit itself: a fixed-price report that shows our judgment on your codebase before you commit to anything bigger.
The principles our engineers carried out of long careers building production software — applied to every Yellow Labs engagement from day one.

“The senior engineer who scopes your work is the one who does it, working with you directly. No handoffs. No juniors learning on your dime. Every person who touches your product has 12+ years of production software behind them.”
Principle · 02
“Fixed prices, quoted before we start, paid when you approve the result. Quotes don’t mysteriously grow mid-build. If something has to change, we tell you before invoicing — never after.”
Principle · 03
“Boring, proven tech over whatever’s hot this quarter. Code we ship today should still be readable in five years — by us, by you, or by whoever maintains it next.”
