Security
Can the wrong person access the wrong data?
Production readiness for AI-built apps
AI built your app fast.Now make it ready for real users.
Before launch, Cass & York reviews your actual application to find the risks that can break workflows, expose data, block payments, mishandle uploads, produce unreliable AI outputs, or make the app hard to maintain.
If we cannot identify meaningful production risks or improvements, we refund the audit fee.

The production gap
The final 30% is where risk lives.
AI can generate an impressive prototype in days.
Production is different.
Once real users, real data, payments, integrations, permissions, and business workflows are involved, small technical gaps become expensive problems.
Cass & York identifies those gaps before your customers, investors, or employees do.
Beyond the demo
Your app can look finished and still be fragile.
A working demo is not the same as a production system. We assess the areas that determine whether your application can safely operate in the real world.
Reliability
Will core workflows keep working when users depend on them?
Infrastructure
Can the application handle real traffic, usage, and failures?
AI Behavior
Are AI outputs predictable, observable, and safe enough for the business process?
Monitoring
Will you know when something breaks before your customers do?
Architecture
Can the application evolve, or will every new feature make it harder to maintain?

The Production Readiness Audit
$2,500 fixed fee
Delivered in 5 business days
Start the Production Readiness AuditIn 5 business days, know whether to ship, fix, or rebuild.
The Production Readiness Audit is a fixed-scope technical audit for founders and teams who need to know whether an AI-built application is ready for production.
You leave with a clear decision, a prioritized fix plan, and the confidence to move forward without guessing.
What the audit looks like
Evidence, priorities, and a fix plan.
The Production Readiness Audit gives you a practical production dossier your team can actually use: screenshots, risk evidence, workflow notes, architecture findings, and developer-ready next steps.
Every finding is tied to business risk, technical rationale, and recommended action, so you know what is safe, what is fragile, and what needs to be fixed before real users depend on the application.
The samples below are based on a demo application. Sensitive details are intentionally blurred.

Full dossier
And more.
The full audit also covers architecture findings, executive decision notes, founder debrief, and technical detail.
Built to improve
A stronger path to production.
The Production Readiness Audit does more than tell you whether the application is ready.
It shows you how to make it safer, more reliable, and easier to operate before real users depend on it.
At the end of the audit, you receive a prioritized production plan built around three decisions:
Keep What Works
Not everything needs to be rebuilt. We identify the parts of the application that are already working well, so you do not waste time or money replacing what is solid.
Fix What Matters
Some issues are inconvenient. Others create real business risk. We rank the most important fixes by severity, business impact, urgency, and implementation effort so your team knows what to handle first.
Strengthen the Foundation
If critical workflows, integrations, permissions, infrastructure, or architecture are fragile, we show exactly what needs to be hardened before the application can support real growth.
You leave with a practical roadmap for improving the application, not vague consulting notes.
No endless discovery.
No guessing what matters.
No fixing the wrong things first.
Aligned incentives
If your app is already production-ready, we will tell you.
Our goal is not to sell unnecessary engineering.
If your application already meets our production standards and we cannot identify meaningful risks or improvements, we refund the audit fee.
You are paying for clarity, not a sales pitch.
After the Audit
Ongoing Production Support
Stay supported after launch.
$8,000/month
3-month minimum
Book the Audit CallFor teams that want Cass & York involved beyond the audit, we offer ongoing production support for AI-built applications in production.
Once your application is live, we help keep it secure, reliable, and easier to maintain as real users depend on it.
This is not unlimited feature development. It is senior technical oversight for the parts of the application the business depends on.
Support includes
- Weekly production reviews
- Security and dependency oversight
- Monitoring, logging, and backup review
- Production issue triage
- Release guidance
- Architecture review before major changes
- Vendor, API, and integration guidance
- Monthly executive health report
Simple terms
Start with the audit.
If ongoing support makes sense, your $2,500 audit fee is credited toward your first month when you sign within 14 days.
Major new features, full rebuilds, and large integrations are scoped separately.
Emergency support is available for active support clients only.
Built for what comes after the prototype
Most AI builders stop at "it works."
We focus on what happens after.
Best fit
Built for founders with something real to protect.
Cass & York is a fit if:
- You have an AI-built application that already works
- You are preparing to launch to real users
- Your app handles customer data, business workflows, payments, or integrations
- You are unsure whether the technical foundation is safe enough
- You need an expert review before investing more time or money
- You want senior technical oversight without hiring a full engineering team
Not for every project
We are not a prototype shop.
Cass & York is not the right fit if:
- You only need a quick landing page or MVP mockup
- You are still validating the basic idea
- You want the cheapest developer available
- You need unlimited feature development for a fixed monthly fee
- You are not ready to address technical risks before they become business risks
We work best with founders who already have momentum and need the application to hold up under real-world use.

Questions founders ask first.
What counts as an AI-built application?
Any application built primarily with AI coding tools, no-code tools, low-code tools, contractors using AI, or rapid prototyping platforms.
This includes SaaS apps, internal tools, workflow automations, dashboards, customer portals, and AI-powered business applications.
Do you only work with AI-built apps?
That is our focus because these applications often move from prototype to production faster than the technical foundation can mature.
We may also audit traditionally built applications when the production risks are similar.
Do you write code during the audit?
The audit is focused on assessment, prioritization, and technical direction.
You receive clear recommendations and developer-ready guidance. Implementation can be handled by your team, your vendor, or scoped separately with Cass & York.
Can my current developer use the audit?
Yes.
The audit is designed to be useful for founders and technical teams. The executive brief explains the business risk, while the Production Dossier and fix plan give developers clear next steps.
What happens after the audit?
You can implement the recommendations yourself, take them to your team, or continue with Cass & York through Ongoing Production Support.
There is no requirement to continue with us after the audit.
Is ongoing support required?
No.
The Production Readiness Audit stands on its own. Ongoing Production Support is for companies that want senior technical oversight after the audit.
Do you handle emergency support?
Emergency production support is available only to active support clients.
This allows us to understand the application, its risks, and its architecture before urgent issues arise.
Do you build new features?
Major feature builds, rebuilds, and large integrations are scoped separately.
Ongoing Production Support focuses on oversight, reliability, security, release guidance, and production health.
