[ AI PROTOTYPE TO COMPLIANT PRODUCTION ]
You built it with Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, or Claude. It demos perfectly, then meets a HIPAA audit, a security review, or real user load, and the cracks show. We take vibecoded healthcare and legal apps to production, with the compliance the AI never wrote.

[ SOUND FAMILIAR? ]
Lovable or Bolt gave you a working healthcare app. It has no encryption at rest, no access controls, no audit logging, and no BAA-backed infrastructure. The compliance gap is invisible until an auditor finds it.
The AI wrote code that looks right but has no real authentication, no role-based permissions, and no record of who touched what. Inside a law firm's workflow, that isn't a bug, it's a privilege problem.
Investor demo soon, or paying users already on it, and the prototype falls over past the happy path. No error handling, no edge cases, a 15–20 component ceiling. The last 20% is the part that's actually hard.
[ HOW IT WORKS ]
The UI, the CRUD, the basic auth shipped in a weekend. Production auth, access controls, audit trails, and compliance architecture are 70–90% of the real engineering. That's the part we do.
30 minutes. Show us the prototype and tell us the deadline. We'll tell you honestly whether it's a rescue or a rebuild.
We review the AI-generated codebase against production and compliance requirements, then hand you a fixed-price plan. Credited toward the build.
4–8 weeks, same senior team start to finish. Access controls, audit logging, encryption, and the architecture to scale. Weekly demos.
Full source code, documentation, deployment runbook, and 2 weeks of post-launch support. No lock-in.
[ WHAT IT COSTS ]
Fixed-price plan for what to keep, what to rebuild, and what it'll cost. Credited toward the build, so it's not a sunk cost.
Production hardening when the prototype's bones are sound: add the auth, access controls, audit logging, and error handling it's missing.
A full rebuild over 4–8 weeks when the prototype can't carry production weight. We keep the business logic and data that hold up.
"Previous developer disappeared mid-project. Oktopeak audited the codebase, kept what worked, rebuilt WebRTC video and biometric authentication from scratch. Shipped on the original deadline. 65+ API endpoints. 100% DEA audit pass, in roughly 120 engineering hours."

[ FAQ ]
Vibe code rescue means taking a prototype built with an AI coding tool (Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, or Claude) and re-engineering it so it can actually ship in a regulated industry. The prototype usually demos fine. Then it meets a real HIPAA audit, a security review, or real user load, and the cracks show: no access controls, no audit trail, no error handling, no real architecture. We audit what the AI produced, keep the parts that hold up, and rebuild the rest. We wrote about where the line falls in The 80/20 Problem in Vibe Coding.
AI tools generate functional code, not compliant code. A vibecoded healthcare app typically ships without encryption at rest, role-based access controls, audit logging, a BAA-backed infrastructure, or proper error handling, all of which a HIPAA audit requires. The demo looks done because the missing 20% is invisible until someone audits it. That last 20% is most of the real engineering. See why vibecoded healthcare apps fail HIPAA.
Yes. We audit what the tool generated, keep what holds up (often the UI and the data model), and re-engineer what doesn't: authentication, access controls, audit logging, integrations, and the architecture needed to scale past the demo. You get a production system, full source code, and ownership, not another prototype. See taking a legal tech prototype to production.
We keep what works and rebuild what doesn't. The first 80% an AI tool produces (UI, basic CRUD, simple auth) often ships fine. The last 20% (production authentication, database-level access controls, audit trails, edge-case handling, compliance architecture) is where the real engineering is, and where AI-generated code usually falls short. The audit tells you exactly what is worth keeping and why.
It starts with a $2,420 audit that gives you a fixed-price plan and is credited toward the build. Production hardening starts around $17,000; full rebuilds from a prototype run $26,000 to $53,000 over 4 to 8 weeks. We work at AI-native velocity: our DEA compliance rescue took roughly 120 engineering hours, not the months a traditional agency would quote.
Regulated industries are our specialty: a broken app that handles PHI or sits inside a law firm's workflow has compliance consequences a generic rescue shop misses. If your project is a generic broken codebase, a vanished developer, or a dying legacy system, that's our broader software rescue service.
