01 · What you get

A gap map you can hand to anyone.

Written after the call, in plain language, and yours to keep. Here is a sample.

  1. A status for every area

    Gap, partial, ready or keep, across deployment, security, data, payments, integrations and growth readiness. You see at a glance where the work is. For a mobile app the map covers the build pipeline and store readiness; for a telehealth product, access control, consent and the clinic side.

  2. What production needs, in plain language

    Each gap says what “done properly” looks like, so you can act on it with us, with another team, or on your own.

  3. What to keep

    If you have a prototype, it is the spec. The map says which parts are already right, so production work goes underneath them.

  4. A path, and a plan if you want one

    A recommended order of work. If there’s a fit, a written plan: scope, timeline and an estimate. If there isn’t, we say so.

  4. Data

    Partial

    The schema holds up. Changes are made by hand in a dashboard; test and real data share one database.

    Production needs Versioned migrations, a staging database, an export path per customer.

  5. Payments

    Gap

    Checkout works in test mode only. No webhooks, so refunds and failed renewals never reach the app.

    Production needs Verified, idempotent webhooks; refund and dispute flows; retries for failed payments.

  6. Integrations

    Partial

    Orders reach (redacted) through a weekly CSV export.

    Production needs An automatic, logged sync that retries and alerts when it fails.

  7. Growth readiness

    Partial

    Analytics is installed, but nothing counts as a conversion and email capture records no consent.

    Production needs One tracked conversion, UTMs carried to checkout, consented email with a welcome sequence.

— Veer Singh, Synaptech

A sample gap map, written the way yours will be: area by area, in plain language, with what production needs. Names are blacked out because yours stay private too.

02 · How the review works

Thirty minutes, three steps, one written map.

No deck, no discovery questionnaire, no pitch unless you ask for one.

  1. Before the call

    Send the link.

    Share what you’ve built: the live site, a repo, a share link from an AI app builder like Lovable or Bolt, or the project a freelancer or agency left mid-stream. Add a line on where it’s stuck. No app yet? Describe the idea instead. That becomes the agenda.

  2. The 30 minutes

    We walk it together.

    On a video call we open your prototype, or talk through the idea, and go area by area: deployment, security, data, payments, integrations, growth readiness. You talk with Veer, our founder, not a sales rep. Ask anything.

  3. After the call

    You get the gap map, in writing.

    Every gap in plain language, with what production needs. Yours to keep, act on, or take to another shop. If there’s a fit, you get a written plan with the scope, a timeline and an estimate. If there isn’t, we’ll say so.

We cross this gap for a living.

04 · Before you book

Not sure where you stand? Score it first.

Six questions about the parts AI builders stop at. You get a readiness score and a short gap map. Bring both to the call; the review checks them against the code.

Readiness check · six questions · no sign-up

Question 1 of 6 · PaymentsCan it take real money, and give it back?

Live checkout, refunds, failed payments, and the webhooks that tell your app what actually happened.

Tip: press 1, 2 or 3

The readiness check needs JavaScript.

It scores six areas: payments, auth & data security, deployment, integrations, measurement, lifecycle email & sms. The free Production Gap Review covers the same ground, in writing.

05 · Request

Send the store. We’ll bring the map.

Three answers are required: your name, your email and a budget band. The rest primes the agenda, so the thirty minutes go to your app or your idea, not to introductions.

Request your free store and backend review

We need your name, your email (that’s where the gap map goes) and a budget band, so the plan we write after the call fits what you can spend. “Not sure yet” is a fine answer. Everything else is optional.

The live site, your repo, or a share link from an AI app builder like Lovable or Bolt. Private? Write “private” and we’ll ask for access.

07 · Questions

Before you book.

Who it’s for, what it costs, and what you walk away with.

Who is the review for?

Founders with a first version that works in a demo and now has to work for real customers: built with AI app builders like Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit or Cursor, by a freelancer, or left mid-stream by a previous agency. Store owners too: a Shopify, WooCommerce or custom store whose backend, payments or tracking has to hold up.

No app yet, just the idea? Bring that. The map then covers what the first version needs and what we would build from scratch.

If your product is already live and the problem is that nobody’s buying, the free Google Ads and tracking audit is the better fit.

What does this cost? I’m bootstrapped, not enterprise.

The review costs nothing, and the gap map is yours whatever you decide. If there’s a fit, you get a written plan after the call: the scope, a timeline and an estimate, so you know what graduation would take before you commit a dollar. We don’t publish price lists or packages, because the plan depends on what you already have.

Most clients graduate in stages: production first, then the growth work once there’s something to fill.

What actually happens in the Production Gap Review?

You bring what you have so far: just the idea, an app started in an AI app builder like Lovable or Bolt, a freelancer’s or agency’s half-finished project, or a store that’s already live. We walk it together for 30 minutes, and afterward you get a written gap map across deployment, security, data, payments, integrations and growth readiness. It’s yours to keep, act on, or take to another shop.

If there’s a fit, we follow up with a written plan: scope, timeline and an estimate. If there isn’t, we’ll say that too.

Do I need to send my code?

No. A share link is enough to start. If there’s a repo, read access lets us look deeper, but it’s optional. If the project is private, write “private” in the form and we’ll sort out access together.

Will you throw away what I built and start over?

No. Your prototype is the most valuable spec you could hand us: validated product decisions, made cheaply. Sometimes the honest path is rebuilding parts of it on production foundations, and when it is, we’ll say so in the review and show you why. What we won’t do is quote a from-scratch rebuild to pad the invoice. Part of our portfolio is finishing projects other developers left mid-stream, including one whose own README admitted every phase was incomplete.
