AI Code Audit · Plain English · Five Working Days
AI Code Audit
We review your AI-generated application for security holes, database structure, scalability problems, and maintainability. You get a clear written report on what you are sitting on and what it needs. Plain English. Five working days.
You built something with an AI tool. It works. But something is nagging.
Maybe a client noticed something odd. Maybe reports are running slowly. Maybe you are scaling up and something feels fragile. Maybe you just want to know, before it becomes a problem, what is actually in the codebase a tool generated for you.
Built it with a specific tool? Each platform produces a different stack and fails in its own characteristic way. We have written up what we consistently find in Lovable, Replit, Emergent and UI Bakery applications — or see every tool we audit.
Not live yet? If you are still working out how to get the thing deployed, start with getting your AI-built app live — hosting, exporting your code, what happens to the database, and what to check before real users arrive.
You should get this audit if:
- Your app handles real user data and you have not had it reviewed
- Multiple users can see or modify each other's information
- Performance has been getting slower as data accumulates
- You cannot fully explain what your own code does in certain areas
- You are about to scale up, raise funding, or hand the app to a new developer
- A client, investor, or partner has asked about your security posture
What you get out of it:
- Know exactly what is in your codebase before your users tell you
- A prioritised remediation list: what to fix first and why
- Confidence to scale, fundraise, or hand over without surprises
- A document you can share with investors, partners, or a new technical hire
If you've had something built with AI and you're not sure what you've actually got, we'll give you a straight answer before you sink more money into it. No scare tactics. Just an honest read on what's solid, what's risky, and what it would take to put right.
Tell us what you've got and we will tell you what the audit involves and how quickly we can start. The written report follows within five working days of us getting access.

Four areas, every time
Security
Authentication and authorisation checks: can users see data that is not theirs? Common vulnerability patterns: SQL injection, unvalidated inputs, exposed endpoints. Secrets and credentials: are API keys or passwords in the codebase? Data handling: is sensitive data stored and transmitted safely?
Database structure
Schema design: are tables properly normalised? Are relationships defined at the database level or just hoped for in code? Indexing: are queries that run frequently indexed properly? Performance: are there query patterns that will degrade catastrophically as data grows?
Scalability
Concurrency: are operations that modify shared state wrapped in transactions? Are there race conditions that produce incorrect results under simultaneous use? Bottlenecks: are there patterns that work at ten users and fail at a hundred?
Maintainability
Code structure: is business logic accessible and comprehensible, or scattered without pattern? Can a developer who did not write this code understand and extend it? Are there areas of the codebase that are effectively untouchable because no human understands them?
The deliverables
Written audit report covering:
- Executive summary: what the application is and what we found
- Severity-rated findings in each of the four audit areas
- Specific code references for each finding
- Prioritised remediation plan: critical, high, medium, low
- Estimated effort for each remediation item
- Overall assessment: stable, at risk, or requires urgent attention
How to get started:
- Contact us with a brief description of the application
- We agree what we are looking at before anything starts
- You provide read access to the codebase
- We deliver the written report within 5 working days
- We talk you through the findings on a call
- You decide how to proceed. No pressure.
Questions about the audit
A developer reads your code and reports back on four things: security, how the database is put together, whether it will cope as you get busier, and how easy it is to work on. You get it in writing within five working days, worst problems first, with what each one would take to sort out. You will know which problems matter and which genuinely do not.
In the apps we have reviewed: row-level security disabled or permissive, permission checks written in the interface rather than the database, service keys that bypass every rule, missing indexes, no constraints preventing duplicate records, and no alerting when something fails.
Four areas: security (authentication, authorisation, vulnerability patterns, data handling), database structure (schema design, indexing, relationships, query performance), scalability (concurrency, transactions, behaviour under load), and maintainability (code structure, comprehensibility, ability of a new developer to extend it).
We deliver the written report within five working days of receiving access to the codebase. For urgent situations, contact us directly and we will discuss what is possible.
We tell you exactly what we found, ranked by severity and urgency. Some findings require immediate action. Others are longer-term improvements. You will know which is which. There is no obligation to use us for any of the work that follows: the report is written so that a different developer could pick it up and act on it.
Yes. We also run a broader Systems and Software Health Audit for codebases built by developers rather than AI tools. The structure is similar. Contact us and describe what you have.
Let's find out what you've actually got
We'll go through it properly, then tell you straight.
Tell us roughly what the app does and what built it, if you know. Access to the code is all we need to make a start.
- Whether anyone can get at data they should not
- Whether the database is built to cope
- What happens to it when it gets busy
- Whether another developer could pick it up and work on it
