What a $199 Code Audit Actually Tells You
What's actually in the 48-hour written report you get from a code audit, and a real example of what it caught in a Lovable app.
A code audit is a written report, delivered in 48 hours, that tells you exactly what's broken in your app, what's genuinely salvageable, and a fixed price to fix it — not a sales call disguised as a technical review. Here's what's actually in it, using a real (anonymized) example.
What the report actually covers
Every audit reads through the same checklist: frontend code structure, backend and API structure, database schema, authentication flow, security risks, API performance, server cost, cloud setup, error handling, app performance, deployment setup, scalability risks, future feature safety, and store readiness if a mobile app is involved.
The output isn't a checklist with checkmarks — it's a written explanation, in plain language, of what each of those areas actually looks like in your specific app, with a severity rating on anything that's a real problem.
A real example: a Lovable subscription app
A founder came to us with a Lovable-built subscription app: subscriptions occasionally didn't activate after payment, and support tickets were piling up. The audit found three things: a Stripe webhook silently failing on a specific event type (the actual cause), an RLS policy that would have blocked a planned team-accounts feature entirely, and a missing database index that was making the admin dashboard slow as the user count grew.
None of those were visible from using the app normally — the payment issue looked random, the RLS problem hadn't been hit yet, and the slowness was assumed to be "just Supabase being slow." The report separated all three, ranked the webhook fix as urgent, and quoted a fixed price for all three combined.
What "salvageable" actually means in the report
Every audit explicitly separates what's fine (don't touch it, it works and it's not a risk) from what's broken but fixable in place, from what's structurally wrong and worth rebuilding. Founders are often surprised how much of the first category there is — the instinct to rebuild everything is usually stronger than the actual technical need for it.
The fixed quote at the end
The audit ends with a specific price to fix what needs fixing, broken down by item so you can choose to do all of it or just the urgent parts. If you proceed with the fix, the $199 is credited against it — the audit isn't a separate cost, it's the diagnosis step of the same job.
What it doesn't include
The audit is a written report, not the fix itself, and not a live walkthrough call (though a short call to discuss the findings is included). It also won't recommend a rebuild unless the findings genuinely support one — the incentive is a smaller, honest fix, not a bigger invoice.
