AI-Built Application Hardening Assessment
Find the production-readiness gaps in your AI-built application and define the work to address them, whether you are preparing a release or serving customers already.
Fixed fee
US$5,000
Review, written findings, and a walkthrough of the recommendations.
Assessment fee credit available. See terms.
One application
Review the application and the services it depends on.
Clear priorities
Written findings, supported by examples, with a walkthrough.
A next step
A proposed implementation scope and effort estimate, with assumptions.
What we examine
- Code, architecture, dependencies, and connected services.
- Authorization, secrets, and how data moves between users and systems.
- Deployment, error visibility, recovery, and running costs.
- Technical paths important to the next release, such as account creation or payment processing.
What you receive
- A written engineering assessment you can use with Aligned or another engineer.
- An application map and findings supported by examples.
- Priorities for the next release, what can wait, and why.
- A proposed implementation scope and effort estimate, with assumptions.
- Coverage, access limitations, and questions requiring further investigation.
- A walkthrough of the findings and recommendations.
Before we begin
- Share a demonstration, your next product decision, and the available source, hosting, and service access.
- We confirm technical fit, review priorities, depth, and a delivery date before booking.
- One application and the services it depends on. We start broadly, then investigate the priorities agreed with you.
- There is no required stack. Additional applications or wider investigation need a separate scope.
Choosing the next step
- Recommendations on what to keep, change, or investigate further.
- The assessment does not include production changes or certify the application as secure.
- Implementation is agreed separately, including how founder-led development, releases, and maintenance will work.
- Continued use of the original app builder depends on technical fit.
Assessment credit
Receive a credit equal to 10% of the qualifying implementation fees on each invoice for the same application until your US$5,000 assessment fee is fully credited.
Credits are capped at the assessment fee paid. We calculate the 10% credit on implementation fees before credits. The same fees cannot receive more than one assessment credit.
Qualifying fees exclude the assessment fee, taxes, hosting, and other third-party costs. Implementation is a separate purchase, with no minimum commitment required to receive a partial credit.
