Vibe-code rescue

Vibe-code rescue
The full review, then auth, data and payment fixes first, with tests around the paths that matter.
Prices are in New Zealand dollars and exclude GST (we are GST registered). The NZ$500 starter is 10 hours of consultation, review or scoping at NZ$50 an hour, and it counts in full towards the project if you go ahead. Larger projects get a fixed quote after the free call, worked out from the hours the scope needs at the same rate. The upper figure is where most projects land; bigger scopes are quoted on their own.
Questions
Vibe-code rescue questions
Anything else, ask on the call. There is no pitch, just answers.
Will you rewrite everything?
Almost never. We keep what works and fix what is dangerous. A rewrite is a last resort we would have to justify.
Can we keep using AI tools to build?
Yes. The point is to give those tools a safe structure to work in, with tests that catch mistakes.
How fast can you start?
The review can usually start within a week, and takes about a week for a typical app.
How is the price set?
Every service starts at NZ$500 + GST for a 10-hour starter: a consultation, review or scoping session. If you go ahead with the project, that NZ$500 counts towards it. For anything bigger, after a free 30-minute call we send a plan within a week with the scope, timeline and a fixed price, worked out from the hours the job needs at NZ$50 an hour. You know what you are paying before any work starts.
Do you work with clients outside New Zealand?
Yes. We are based in Auckland and work with New Zealand and remote clients. You see progress in a demo every week, wherever you are.
