You built something useful. But you can't safely share it.

Tools stay locked to one user

Useful work never reaches the wider team.

Prototypes hide real risk

Exposed keys, leaky data, no isolation.

IT blocks the deployment path

Without evidence, security won't sign off.

Built for the people who build inside your business.

Best suited to organisations with grassroots AI prototypes built using tools like Claude Code, Codex or Cursor that now need to be distributed across teams safely. Including financial services, healthcare, education, legal, environmental services and energy.

Our one-week process from prototype to production-ready spec.

1
Days 1–2

Review code and model

  • Review application code logic
  • Examine model instructions
  • Walk through backend and data flow
  • Interview the creator for context
2
Days 3–4

Assess risk and scaling

  • Screen for hardcoded credentials
  • Analyse data handling and isolation
  • Assess concurrent users and stability
  • Review code structure vs best practice
3
Day 5

Build the engineering spec

  • Codebase safety assessment
  • Operational deployment map
  • Engineering specification
  • Fixed-fee build proposal
The outcome

You get the evidence to safely share, harden or rebuild your AI prototype, without losing the logic you've already created.

From operational reality to financial reality.

Operational realityFinancial reality
An excellent tool is locked to a single userWasted capacity across the wider org
Hardcoded API keys and insecure loopsData leak and compliance risk
Concurrent users without isolationCorrupted data and privacy breaches
Application breaks when models changeOperational disruption and emergency fixes
Code lacks documentation and structureTotal reliance on the creator, unmaintainable asset

What this engagement is not.

Not a criticism of your prototype
Not a feature-building sprint
Not a generic AI workshop
Not a code rewrite
Not a vendor tool recommendation

It is the structured safety and engineering check that lets you deploy internal AI tools across the business with confidence.
