Stuck at 80%?
We finish what the AI couldn't.
The same bug has been "almost fixed" for three weeks. Every prompt gets you a slightly different version of the same broken thing. That's not a prompting problem, it's the point where AI coding tools run out of judgment. A senior engineer reads the actual code, finds the real cause, and finishes it.
You've been circling the same problem for weeks.
- The same bug keeps coming back in a different shape every time Cursor, Claude, or Replit "fixes" it.
- Payments, auth, or a core workflow technically works, until a specific edge case, and then it silently fails.
- It works perfectly on your machine and breaks in production, and nobody can explain why.
- You're afraid to touch anything else because there are no tests and no way to know what you'll break.
- You've set a launch date twice already and missed it both times because of this one thing.
We fix the cause, not the symptom.
Read the codebase
Get oriented in the entire codebase, not just the file where the bug lives, so the fix doesn't break something else.
Reproduce the blocker
Reproduce the exact bug or missing feature the AI tool kept looping on, and find the real root cause instead of the symptom.
Fix it properly
Implement a real fix at the source of the problem, not a patch that papers over it and resurfaces somewhere else.
Add test coverage
Tests on the fixed path and the other critical flows, so the same class of bug doesn't come back silently.
Pre-launch pass
Check error handling, edge cases, and the security fundamentals before calling it ready.
Ship & document
Deploy the fix and hand back documentation of what changed and why.
A launch you can actually stand behind.
- The feature or app, actually working. Not "working most of the time," working.
- Test coverage on the paths that matter. So the next change doesn't quietly reopen the same bug.
- A pre-launch checklist, actually run. Error handling, edge cases, and the security basics, checked and closed.
- Documentation of what was fixed and why. So you're not starting from zero next time.
- An option to keep the team. An ongoing retainer if you'd rather not hit this wall again.
Scoped once we know what's actually wrong.
Not sure how big the fix is? Start with the $1,500 Rapid Diagnostic. It's the fastest way to a real number.
If you're not sure whether the blocker is small or structural, this tells us both, fast. Preceded by a $1,500 Rapid Diagnostic, credited toward this fee.
Most finish-the-build engagements land here: fix the blocker, harden the app, and get it to a real launch.

If any of this sounds like you.
"It worked in the demo. Now I can't get past this one thing."
You've made real progress on your own. This is the specific spot where AI tools run out of judgment, and where a senior engineer earns their fee.
"I already paid someone $15k. Now it's broken and they're gone."
You believed in the product enough to pay for it once. We're the team that actually finishes the job, on a fixed scope.
What founders ask before we start.
How do you know if you can actually fix it?
We read the code and reproduce the blocker before quoting anything. If it's genuinely fixable within the existing foundation, which is true most of the time, we tell you exactly what it will take. If it isn't, we say that too, before you spend anything further.
What if it needs a full rewrite instead?
That's rare and we only recommend it when the foundation genuinely can't be made safe or stable. Most stalled builds have one or two structural problems, not a broken foundation, and we fix those instead of starting over.
How long does it take to finish a stalled build?
Depends on the blocker, but most finish-the-build engagements land in the Rescue & Harden range and take a few weeks from diagnostic to a launch-ready app.
What if I already paid a freelancer or agency to build this?
Common situation. We're not here to relitigate what happened, we're here to read what exists and finish it properly, on a fixed scope so you know the cost before we start.
Do you work with apps built in Cursor, Replit, or Lovable specifically?
Yes. Most of our finish-the-build work is on codebases originally built with Cursor, Replit, Lovable, Bolt, v0, Windsurf, GitHub Copilot, or VS Code, or code generated directly by Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Llama, DeepSeek, or Mistral. We read AI-generated code for a living.
Will you also check for security issues while you're in there?
Yes, a security pass is part of getting to a launch you can stand behind. If we find something serious, we flag and fix it as part of the same engagement rather than a separate bill.
Send us the repo and the bug. We'll tell you what it takes.
A senior engineer reads your actual code and gives you a straight assessment. No sales engineer, no junior.
