FROM AI PROTOTYPE TO PRODUCTION
Your ship has to land somewhere.
Shadow AI apps never go far.
Lovable, Cursor and Bolt make it possible to ship a working app in days, often built outside IT. When it finds users, it can become slow, fragile or exposed. We bring it into port: audited, secured, running in your own environment and ready to grow.
Signs your app needs a harbour
- Pages get slower as users and data grow.
- Every change breaks something else.
- Nobody is sure who can see which data.
- There is no staging, no backups and no monitoring.
- It runs on someone's personal account.
- IT has just found out it exists.
What we do
Audit
Code, data model, dependencies and costs reviewed, with a clear list of what to fix first.
Security
Access rules, secrets and data exposure fixed, so the right people see the right data.
Production setup
Hosting in your environment, separate test and live versions, backups and monitoring.
Performance
Slow queries and pages addressed, so the app keeps up as usage grows.
Integration
Connected to your business systems instead of living next to them.
Ongoing development
Documented and handed over, or developed further by us if you need it.
From prototype to production in four steps
01
Fixed-fee audit
We review the app and tell you what is at risk, what to keep and what to fix.
02
Fix plan
A prioritised plan with scope, fixed fee and acceptance criteria.
03
Stabilise
Security, hosting and performance fixed, without stopping your users.
04
Run and improve
Handed over to your team, or developed further under a monthly agreement.
Prototype to production FAQ
Do we have to rebuild the app?
Usually not. We keep what works and fix what puts the app at risk. A rebuild is only recommended when the audit shows it costs less than fixing.
Which tools do you work with?
Apps built with Lovable, Cursor, Bolt and similar tools, and the stacks behind them, such as React and Supabase.
What is shadow AI?
Apps and automations built by teams with AI tools outside of IT. They often solve a real problem, but run without security, backups or ownership. We bring them into your environment so they can be used safely.
Will the app stay in our accounts?
Yes. Code, hosting and data stay in accounts you own, with documentation so your team or another partner can take it forward.
How is it priced?
The audit and the fixes are fixed fees. Ongoing development is a separate monthly agreement.
