You shipped in days. Real users need something that will not collapse. We audit vibe-coded, no-code, and agency handoffs, keep what works, and rebuild what will not survive production — code you own.
Short answer
This is an audit-first takeover, not a greenfield MVP hire and not a rewrite pitch. We productionize what you already have: keep, wrap, or rewrite only where risk demands it. Rebuild scope varies. If a focused rebuild is the honest path, live bands are the same ₹3–8 lakhs / ₹10–25+ lakhs already published on the MVP service — no invented rescue premium.
The stack name matters less than the pattern: the demo shipped, and now quality, ownership, or hiring is the constraint.
The happy path works in one environment. Sessions, webhooks, and money movement were added last and will not hold a second engineer’s review.
There is no pipeline, versions float, and nobody can recreate the build. A routine package update is an outage.
There is no local runbook, no map of what is load-bearing, and the original builder is the only person who can change it.
Bubble, FlutterFlow, or similar got you users. Workflows are slow or expensive to change, and you do not own the logic in a form another team can extend.
Secrets in the client, missing backups, or pages that fold under light real traffic. You would not hand this to a customer-success team on Monday.
The first useful output is a keep / wrap / rewrite plan — with risk, sequence, and cost shape — before anyone promises a greenfield rebuild.
Architecture, dependencies, data model, secrets, deploy path, and product gaps. We separate what users already depend on from accidental complexity.
Keep, wrap, or rewrite. Cost and time honesty using the live MVP bands only if a rebuild is in scope. Rebuild scope varies; we do not invent a rescue premium.
CI, pinning, observability, and the bugs that would take production down. Make the thing operable before you reshape it.
Only where risk demands it. Isolated modules that are safe to harden stay. Platform-locked or generated spaghetti that cannot be operated gets rebuilt.
Production deploy and ownership transfer. Working software in 2-week sprints while we cut over, then you run the system.
Most takeovers are mixed. The honest move is rarely “burn it down” or “just deploy what you have.”
The point of a takeover is not another prototype. It is a system a second engineer can inherit.
Owned source, not a platform account you cannot export. Where the stack stays mixed, that is written down.
Hosting, domains, secrets, and deploy path in your accounts — not ours.
What we kept, what we rebuilt, and what is still fragile. No verbal-only handoff.
The next operating loop after launch: what to ignore, what to schedule, what would be reckless to delay.
We do not quote a new number because the prototype exists. If a rebuild is the honest path, the live bands already on the MVP service apply.
| Shape | Typical time | Live band |
|---|---|---|
| Audit and keep / wrap / rewrite plan | 1–2 weeks | The first engagement. No rewrite promise before this. |
| Focused MVP | ~6–10 weeks | If the honest path is a focused production rebuild: ₹3–8 lakhs ($3.5K–$9.5K). |
| Multi-module platform | ~3–6 months | Deeper rebuilds follow ₹10–25+ lakhs ($12K–$30K+) when modules, roles, and integrations demand it. |
The starting tool is a clue, not the whole diagnosis. Vibe-coded, no-code, unfinished repos, and agency handoffs follow the same audit.
Fast to a demo; production auth, infra, and inheritance are usually unfinished
Runtime-heavy apps, rising plan costs, no true code ownership
Fast to start, but handoff quality and scaling can get messy
Useful early; flexibility and ownership get constrained as the product grows
A repo exists, the original builders do not, and production risk is unclear
You inherited access without a decision log, tests, or a clean cutover
CapitalFlex, MyndStories, and Yuki — real public claims from /work. Client delivery unless labeled as a founder product.
Named products on /work are client delivery unless labeled as a founder product. Habitize is our founder product — useful as a reminder that we operate software after launch, not as a takeover case study with invented metrics.
If you are still on Bubble, FlutterFlow, or a similar platform, the comparison below is the live no-code vs owned-stack picture we already publish — platform subscriptions and operating constraints, not takeover fees.
This is not just about engineering preference. It changes cost control, speed, hiring flexibility, and long-term product decisions.
Typical monthly platform spend
$119–349/mo+
$0–20/mo infra
Speed users feel
4–11 second load times
Fast, production-grade performance
What your team actually owns
Platform account and locked workflows
Full product codebase and infrastructure
Hiring or handing off later
Harder to extend or transfer cleanly
Any capable dev team can work with it
Adding product-specific features
Constrained by platform limits and plugins
Built around your actual product needs
3-year total cost
$7,000–36,000
~$1,500
Over time, platform spend can reach $36,000. A lean custom-code setup can stay closer to ~$1,500.
