Audit before you commit

Vibe coding rescue · Windsurf
Hire senior engineers to fix your Windsurf app.
You do not need a full-time developer to rescue a Windsurf app, you need senior engineers for a fixed, finite job. Hephon audits what the AI built within 48 hours, gives you one fixed price to finish and harden it, and hands back a documented app in your own repo and accounts. Most rescues take two to four weeks.
Hiring for a stalled vibe-coded app is its own trap. Freelancers quote by the hour on a codebase nobody has reviewed, so the number balloons; a full-time hire is months of overhead for what is really a few weeks of work. Both leave you managing a stranger through a codebase you cannot read.
We are built for exactly this: a fixed-scope rescue by engineers who ship production systems for a living. You get a written audit before committing a cent, one price for the whole job, milestone payments, and 30 days of fixes after launch. Your repo, your accounts, your keys, your customers, documented and handed back.
How we fix it.
Senior engineers, not a marketplace
People who ship and operate production systems review every line the AI wrote, the review that never happened is the whole value.
You keep everything
We work inside your repo and accounts and hand over documented. No lock-in, no hostage code, no dependency on us afterwards unless you want it.
Specific to Windsurf
What usually needs attention in Windsurf apps.
Broken deploy, works locally
A Cascade edit to a build config, an env var, or a dependency runs fine on your machine and fails in production. We fix the build, pin the versions, and stand up a real deploy pipeline.
Cross-file agent drift
Cascade applies sweeping multi-file changes, and after a few of them three patterns coexist and nothing is fully reviewed. We converge it to one structure so changes stop having surprise blast radius.
Demo-grade security
Auth and data rules that pass the happy path but leave tables open, keys in the client, and permission checks in the UI. We enforce access on the server and get secrets out of the bundle.
How a rescue works.
Fixed price, milestone payments, and a written audit before you commit to anything.
Audit, 48 hours
Send repo or tool access. You get a plain-language report of what is solid, what is dangerous, what is unfinished, and a fixed price for the rest.
Fix and harden
Security first: auth, data access, secrets, rate limits, payments. The invisible work that keeps your launch out of the news for the wrong reason.
Finish and launch
The stalled features get built, the deploy pipeline gets set up, and the app goes live on your domain with monitoring, alerts, and daily backups.
Stay if you want
Every rescue includes 30 days of fixes. Many founders keep us on afterwards for the roadmap, through Resident™, our monthly retainer.
Questions
Should I hire a freelancer or an agency to fix my Windsurf app?
For a stalled Windsurf app, scope and accountability matter more than headcount. A freelancer builds tasks by the hour on unreviewed code; we deliver a launched, hardened product at one fixed price agreed upfront, with milestone payments and 30 days of post-launch fixes.
How much does it cost to hire someone to fix a Windsurf app?
It depends on how far the app got and how much is left, which is exactly what the 48-hour audit answers. You get one fixed price for the whole job before committing, and you never pay everything upfront: 30% on signature, the rest on milestones.
Do I keep control of the code and accounts?
Completely. Everything stays in your Windsurf workspace, your repo, and your accounts from day one. We sign an NDA before looking at anything, and the handover includes documentation your next developer, or your own AI tool, can work from.
