AI App Risk Scorecard

Built something with Lovable, Replit, Bolt, Bubble or any other AI tool? Twelve questions covering the things that actually go wrong. You get your score straight away — we do not ask for an email to show it to you.

Answer honestly, including the ones where the honest answer is “I don’t know” — that is a real answer here and it counts. Nobody sees this but you.

Being straight with you: we do not build with these tools and we are not going to tell you yours is bad. They are genuinely impressive. But none of them invent new technology — underneath, it is ordinary React, TypeScript, Python or Node. This scorecard is about that code, not about the tool.

Security
Can more than one customer or company log in to your app?
If several separate customers share one system, everything below matters much more.
Security
Has anyone independently checked that one logged-in user cannot access another user’s records?
Not "does it look right" — has someone actually tried it deliberately?
Security
Are the IDs in your URLs sequential numbers, like /invoice/1, /invoice/2?
Sequential IDs mean there is nothing to guess. Someone can simply count upward.
Security
Do you know for certain that no API keys or passwords are stored in the front-end code?
Anything in the browser is readable by anyone using the site.
Database
Has your app got noticeably slower as more data has built up?
Gradual slowdown usually means missing indexes. It does not improve on its own.
Database
Do you know whether your database has indexes beyond the primary keys?
AI-generated schemas very often index nothing else.
Database
Are the relationships between your tables enforced by the database itself, not just the app code?
If only the code enforces them, they get violated quietly.
Scalability
Could two people ever perform the same action at the exact same moment — both creating an order or invoice, say?
This is where duplicate reference numbers and lost updates come from.
Scalability
Have you ever had duplicate reference numbers, or two records that should have been one?
Usually a race condition rather than a one-off glitch.
Maintainability
Could you explain, out loud, exactly how one important calculation in your app works?
Pricing, a total, a commission. If you cannot, you cannot tell when it is wrong.
Maintainability
Is there anything written down — documentation, comments, tests — explaining how it works?
Without it, the next developer is starting from nothing.
Maintainability
Is your app live, with real people relying on it?
Live and in use raises the stakes on everything above.

This is a guide, not a diagnosis. It reflects the patterns we see most often in AI-generated codebases — it cannot see your actual code. A low score is a good sign, not a guarantee. If you want certainty, that is what the audit is for.

What our clients say

20 clients. A few of their words.

Working with Dev Partners to redesign and modernise our WMS system: the whole process has been thoroughly professional from the outset and a delight to work with. Cannot recommend enough.

Great agency. Have used Dev Partners for several years and they have built 20+ sites for us, in addition to taking on our legacy websites, upgrading and maintaining. Easy to work with and some great practical ideas to improve our digital offerings.

Jones Hire have been working with Dev Partners on several projects, which have been very successful. They linked our catering database to a new improved website so clients can easily place and update orders, created a custom warehouse picking app to fulfil all our challenging requirements, and are currently developing a custom transport app to streamline our loading and delivery process.

We have been trying to reinvent our website for over 5 years, trying to make it convert and failing each time. Spoke to Rob at Dev Partners, the team helped create our new site and the improvement was instant.

We have been working with Rob and the team for about 10 years now. Dev Partners helped us build a completely bespoke CRM from scratch which manages our daily business and is always well maintained. We have been able to use the system and roll it out in our new franchise branches.

We collaborated with Dev Partners on the front end of a fairly complex telemarketing platform. Rob and Jason took the time to properly understand the moving parts, asked the right questions, and delivered a clean, intuitive interface that's made the system far easier for our team to use.

I have been working with the team at Dev Partners for the last 3 years and we have always been impressed with the speed in which they act on things for us, along with the honest open communication. The team are a valuable and vital part of our supply chain.

We've had a program for our business in the electronic security sector that Dev Partners developed and keep up to date. They've never let us down, always there when needed. Thanks Rob and the team.

Dev Partners have been working with us for just over 2 years. They have significantly upgraded and redesigned our existing web platforms, and always deliver a first class service.

Dev Partners helped us build an event website. The team were very knowledgeable, easy to work with and quick to deliver a high quality product.

Working with Dev Partners has been an exceptional experience. Their team is highly skilled, professional, and committed to delivering results. What truly sets them apart is their communication and transparency; we always felt informed, supported, and confident.

We've worked with Dev Partners a few times to support us on bespoke web build tasks. They're very easy to work with, approachable, and explain the detail in a way that's understandable. A great partner for technical issues at sensible prices.

Excellent customer service backed up with solid experience. As a media business we have had five websites built by Dev Partners. I would certainly recommend them.

Found Dev Partners and they were great, nothing too much trouble. They managed to help us with integrating our old existing system with Shopify.

I've worked with Rob and his team off and on for many years and have always found them to be professional, knowledgeable, and best of all, they listen to their clients and deliver what is required.

We have worked with Dev Partners for 7 years and can highly recommend them for their expertise and excellent customer service.
