Stabilise
£8K–£15K · 2–4 weeks
Tests, monitoring, secrets hygiene, and CI/CD on the existing code. We don't rewrite. Your code style stays your code style. We just make it survive production.
Tier 2.5 · Solo founders
Your prototype works. Your codebase doesn't.
Lovable, v0, Bolt, Cursor, Replit, Base44 — they ship apps in days. Then come the cracks: failing migrations, broken auth, no tests, surprise data loss. We stabilise the existing code or replatform onto Next.js + Prisma + Tailwind. Your users don't notice.

The shape of the problem
28% of new launches in Q1 2026 were vibe-coded.
StackScope crawled 17,196 product launches. 8.1% explicitly used Lovable, Replit, Bolt, Base44, v0, or Cursor. Another 19.6% carried vibe-coded markers — deep nesting from AI-generated boilerplate, missing tests, oddly-named components. Total: 28%.
r/vibecoding's “my codebase is a disaster” thread — 1,913 upvotes. r/ProgrammerHumor's “ohNoTheConsequencesOfMyActions” — 18,150 upvotes. Different subreddits, identical pattern: founder ships fast, gets traction, can't iterate without breaking production.
If you have paying users on a prototype that's becoming a liability, you're our second ICP.
The fork in the road
Stabilise or replatform?
Six criteria. Three or more rows in the Replatform column → we replatform. Otherwise we stabilise. Either path is fixed-price.
| Criterion | Stabilise | Replatform |
|---|---|---|
| Tech-debt density | <30% of files have critical issues | >30% of files have critical issues |
| Test coverage | Can be retro-added without rewrites | Code structure prevents testability |
| Stack alignment with pavel-* recipes | Already on Next.js + Prisma + Tailwind | On Wix Velo, Bubble, custom PHP, etc. |
| User base size | <1,000 active users | >1,000 active users (needs migration plan) |
| Security posture | Fixable in <40 hrs | Requires architectural change |
| Founder commitment | Will maintain after handover | Wants hands-off ongoing operation |

Definition of done
What ships.
Same agent fleet. Same supervisor. Two scopes — pick the one your code earns.
Replatform
£15K–£25K · 4–6 weeks
Full rewrite onto the pavel-* stack — Next.js, Prisma, Tailwind, Better Auth. UI parity verified by visual regression. Data migrated with row-level checks. Cutover plan with rollback. Your users see the same app — your dev team sees a maintainable one.
Fixed price
Two bands. One process.
Both bands include a free up-front audit. You only pay for the band the audit recommends.

Common questions
The four things every founder asks before signing.
Lovable, v0 (Vercel), Bolt, Cursor-generated apps, Replit, Base44, and custom AI-coded fragments. If your stack isn't on the list, the assessment will determine fit before we quote.
