Modernization & Engineering Quality
The Modernization service area turns code that was generated fast into systems that can run in production: structured security and quality reviews, prototype-to-production pipelines, ongoing security retainers, and hardening for self-hosted agents. Work is scoped, findings are written down, and fixes are limited to what we can confirm — no blanket guarantees.
Who It's For
Teams This Area Helps
- Startups that built fast with Cursor, Bolt, Lovable, or Copilot and now need the code made production-ready
- Teams shipping with AI daily that want a scheduled security and quality cadence
- Founders preparing for launch or funding who need a pre-release review
- Anyone running a self-hosted agent (such as OpenClaw) who wants access controls and skill vetting reviewed
Problems It Addresses
What We Help Solve
- AI-generated code with authentication gaps, leaked secrets, or unmanaged dependencies
- Working prototypes that have no tests, no CI/CD, no monitoring, and no error handling
- No process for reviewing the steady stream of AI-assisted changes a team ships each week
- Self-hosted agent deployments with unclear permissions, sandboxing, or skill risk

Vibe Code Rescue & Security Audit
A structured security and quality review for code that was AI-generated. We audit it, fix the issues we can confirm, and hand back a written risk report — we do not claim a fully 'secure' guarantee.
Vibe Code to Production Pipeline
We turn a working local prototype into a deployable product, adding the testing, CI/CD, monitoring, and error handling that AI code generation often skips. Scoped to your stack and existing code.
Ongoing Vibe Code Security Retainer
A scheduled security cadence for teams that ship fast with AI. We review your changes, watch for leaked secrets and dependency issues, report risk to you, and hand findings to your team. A defined scope, not a blanket guarantee.
OpenClaw Security Hardening
Security hardening for a self-hosted OpenClaw deployment: access controls, sandbox isolation, skill vetting, and prompt injection review. We document what we reviewed and the residual risk — not a guarantee or certificate.
How We Deliver
Our Approach
- 01Start with a structured audit: authentication, secrets, dependencies, input validation, and OWASP-style checks — confirming each finding before acting on it
- 02Fix what we can confirm and hand back a written risk report with the residual risk stated plainly
- 03For prototype-to-production work, add the missing engineering foundations: tests, CI/CD, monitoring, migrations, and documentation
- 04Retainers run on a defined cadence with a defined scope — intake, severity, reporting, and response boundaries agreed up front
Scope & Boundaries
What to Expect
- We do not claim a codebase is 'fully secure' — we report what we reviewed, what we fixed, and what remains
- A security review is not a certification, a legal opinion, or a penetration-test attestation
- Retainer scope, response times, and exclusions are agreed in writing per engagement
- Findings belong to your team; we implement the fixes you approve and document the rest for your roadmap
