For solo founders, MVPs and internal applications.
Includes
Deliverable
2–3 page assessment with a launch recommendation.

Everything in Tier 2, plus:
Deliverable
Detailed findings report, security observations and architecture recommendations.
For investors, acquirers and scale-up businesses.
Everything in Tier 3, plus:
Deliverable
Executive summary for investors, technical report for engineers, and a risk heatmap.
For businesses preparing for launch that want a plan, not just a diagnosis.
Everything in Tier 4, plus:
Deliverables
Executive action plan, 90-day remediation roadmap, target architecture and CI/CD maturity plan.
Turnaround starts once we have repository access and environment details, and depends on codebase size. We'll confirm it before you book.

Add-on
R7,500 once-off
An assessment finds the problems in today's code. This add-on stops your AI tools from writing the same problems tomorrow.
We review your agent configuration, project rules, prompts and workflows, then write instructions that build your security, architecture and operational standards into every future code generation.

Re-assessments of a codebase we've already reviewed are available at a reduced rate.
Assessments are a snapshot in time and not a penetration test. Scope & limitations.
