Question 1

Question:

My app was built with Lovable, Bolt, Base44, Replit, Claude or another AI tool. Do I need to rebuild everything?

Answer

In most cases, some parts can be reused while others need to be redesigned or rebuilt. The first step is understanding what creates business risk, what creates technical risk, and what can safely remain as-is.

Our review identifies what should be kept, improved, or replaced before growth creates bigger problems.

Question 2

Question:

Who actually owns my product and code?

Answer

The answer depends on how the product was built.

Many founders assume they fully own everything, but platform dependencies, third-party services, AI-generated code, hosting arrangements, and integrations can create unexpected limitations.

Part of our review is understanding what you truly own today and what would be required to gain full control of your product.

Question 3

Question:

My product handles customer documents and personal data. Should I be worried?

Answer

Not necessarily worried — but you should understand the risks.

Many AI-built products were created to validate an idea quickly, not to satisfy security, compliance, or enterprise requirements.

As soon as real customers start uploading documents, sharing personal information, or making payments, security and data handling become business-critical.

Question 4

Question:

Can enterprise or corporate customers use an AI-built product?

Answer

Often yes, but additional work is usually required.

Enterprise customers typically care about:

security
access control
auditability
data protection
reliability
support processes

We help bridge the gap between an early-stage prototype and a product that larger customers can trust.

Question 5

Question:

Can I work with you if I already have developers?

Answer

Absolutely. We often integrate with existing developers or teams.
We’ll add the missing leadership, process, and clarity so everyone works toward the same business outcome.
If needed, we can train or restructure the team for better alignment.

Question 6

Question:

What do you actually review during the Product Risk Review?

Answer

We look at:

architecture
platform dependencies
ownership
security
data handling
scalability
maintainability
integrations
launch readiness
business continuity risks

The goal is to identify the biggest risks before they become expensive problems.

Question 7

Question:

What happens after the review?

Answer

We provide our assessment, key findings, and recommendations.

Depending on the situation, that may lead to:

targeted improvements
product stabilization
migration planning
rebuilding critical components
a complete product transformation
a co-investment partnership

Not every product requires a full rebuild.

Question 8

Question:

What does “shared risk” or co-investment mean in practice?

Answer

For selected startups, we invest £30–50K worth of product and engineering into the MVP stage.
If traction is demonstrated, we can invest up to £150K more into scaling.

We require founders to co-invest financially to ensure alignment.

Question 9

Question:

Do you take equity in projects?

Answer

Yes, in most co-investment partnerships, part of our participation is structured as vested equity.

Our equity is typically structured with vesting and performance alignment, reflecting our ongoing operational involvement.

The exact structure depends on the project and may include:
– Vested equity
– Revenue participation
– Hybrid models
– Or purely paid engagement in specific cases

We design each partnership individually to ensure fairness, alignment, and sustainable growth for both sides.

It is not possible to work only equity based, so you need to co-invest in tech at least as much as we do.

Question 10

Question:

Who is this NOT for?

Answer

We are probably not the right fit if:

you’re still at idea stage
you’re looking for the cheapest development option
you want purely equity-based development
you are not prepared to invest in the next stage of the product

We work best with founders who already have something working and now need to turn it into a secure, scalable business.

Question 11

Question:

Is there a minimum project size you take on?

Answer

Yes. We usually start with MVPs or pilots from £30K on the client side, plus potential co-investment.
We don’t take micro-tasks; we take full responsibility for turning an idea into a product that proves itself in the market.

Question 12

Question:

Why do founders come to you instead of a development agency?

Answer

Most agencies focus on delivering features.

We focus on reducing business risk.

Our goal is not simply to write code. It is to help founders build products they can own, secure, support, scale, and confidently present to customers, partners, and investors.
