The launch
The post that worked too well
A founder's launch post takes off. Signups jump, the dashboard stalls, and new users leave before anyone sees why. The cause is one slow query that never mattered with ten test accounts.
An audit finds it before launch day.
The bill
The weekend the bot found the AI button
A demo feature calls a paid AI service with no limit. A bot finds it on Friday night and keeps asking questions. The founder learns about it from Monday's invoice.
An audit adds limits before the bot arrives.
The handover
The developer who said rebuild
A founder hires a developer to add one feature. The answer comes back: start again. The founder has no way to tell whether that's true or just the easier job.
An audit gives you an independent answer.
