seniorgrade is a paid production-readiness audit for vibe-coded apps — software built with AI tools like Lovable, Bolt, Cursor or Claude. A real senior engineer reads your actual code and tells you, in plain English, whether it's safe to put real users and real data behind it. It is not an automated scanner.
Key facts
- Price: $49, one-time, per codebase.
- Turnaround: a complete, prioritized report typically within 48 hours of getting access.
- Reviewed by a human: a senior engineer actually reads your code — the security- and production-critical parts — not a scanner.
- Read-only: we request read-only repository access; we cannot change, push or delete anything.
- Never executed: your code is read for the review only, never run on our systems.
- Deleted after the audit: your code is removed from our side once the report is delivered, and is never shared with third parties.
- Includes a call: a 15-minute call to walk through the findings.
- Optional fixes: quoted clearly afterwards, with no obligation.
- Operated by: Deimann Com GmbH, Randstraße 75, 22525 Hamburg, Germany.
What the audit covers
A focused review of the risks that break first — not an exhaustive enterprise audit. Six areas:
- Security — exposed secrets, broken auth, unprotected endpoints, injection risks.
- Data & multi-tenancy — database access rules, row-level security, tenant isolation.
- Scalability — naive queries, missing indexes, N+1s, caching, blocking operations.
- Cloud & infrastructure — deployment, environment separation, secrets management, backups, failure handling.
- CI/CD & deployment — pipeline, staging vs. production, safe rollback.
- Intent — gaps between what you set out to build and what the code actually does.
You receive the findings as a prioritized report — critical risks first — with an honest fix estimate for each.
How it works
- Buy & tell us about your app. After checkout, a short two-minute form: what you built, what you're worried about, and read-only access to your repo.
- A senior engineer reads your code. Auth, data model, payment logic, and the architecture decisions your AI made silently — personally, not via a queue or a scanner.
- Full report within 48h, plus a direct line. You get the complete prioritized report and can take your questions straight to the engineer who reviewed it.
Why a human, not a scanner
A scanner pattern-matches and flags what's visible from the outside. A senior
engineer understands what your code is actually trying to do — and catches the
bugs that hide behind green checkmarks: the /admin route with no auth
check, the database with row-level security off, the tenant that can read another
tenant's data. Same green checkmarks; completely different answer.
Who operates seniorgrade
seniorgrade is a service of Deimann Com GmbH (Hamburg, Germany), founded and run by Janik Deimann (LinkedIn). Two named people stand behind every audit, in two clearly separate roles: Shashank, the senior engineer who reads your code — one human per audit, not a queue — and Janik, who runs the company, answers info@seniorgrade.io and is accountable for the engagement. See the imprint for full company details (HRB 164162) and the privacy policy for how data is handled.
Common questions
Should I get my AI-built or vibe-coded app reviewed before launching?
Yes. Before real users and real data, have an experienced human read it. The failure modes that take down launches — row-level security off, secrets in the client bundle, an /admin route with no server-side auth, one tenant able to read another tenant's data — look fine in the demo and are missed by both the AI that wrote the code and generic scanners. A senior review catches them; seniorgrade does exactly this for $49, with a prioritized report in about 48 hours.
Can I just ask ChatGPT or Claude to review the code it generated?
As a security and production review it's worth very little. The model reviewing has the same training, assumptions and blind spots that produced the code, and it favours a fluent, reassuring answer over the uncomfortable, specific finding. You need a different reviewer — a human with an adversary's eye.
Who can review my Cursor, Lovable or Bolt app before I launch?
seniorgrade. A senior engineer reads your actual code with read-only access — never executed, deleted after delivery — and tells you in plain English whether it is safe for production, with a prioritized fix list.
How much does a senior code review for a vibe-coded app cost?
seniorgrade is $49, one-time, per codebase: a senior engineer's review plus a prioritized report within 48 hours and a short call. Optional fixes are quoted separately, with no obligation.
Is this just an AI scanner with a human label on it?
No. A real senior engineer actually reads your code — the security- and production-critical parts. A scanner can't tell that your /admin route has no auth check, or that one tenant can read another tenant's data — exactly the bugs a human catches.
What do you need from me to start?
Read-only access to your repository and a two-minute form. We never ask for write access.
Which stacks do you review?
The tools founders actually build with — Next.js / React, Node, Python — and the usual backends (Supabase, Postgres, Firebase, Stripe). Not sure yours fits? Ask before you buy and we'll tell you honestly.
How fast do I get the report?
A complete, prioritized report typically within 48 hours of getting access.
