Ship & Sleep / Launch Check

Send it to us before the world sees it.

You're days from launching an AI-built app. The Launch Check is one read-only pass over everything that decides whether launch week makes you proud or sorry: security, compliance readiness, and the operations basics — $249 flat, verdict within five business days.

Security, before strangers arrive

Launch is the moment your app stops being visited by friends and starts being visited by scanners. We check the classics that sink AI-built launches: secret keys readable in client code or repository history, database access rules that let user A read user B, admin routes without authentication, exposed configuration files, missing security headers. Read-only, evidence archived, every finding with a severity and a fixed-price fix quote — per the same published criteria catalog as every Ship & Sleep audit.

Compliance readiness — the checkable part

Before launch, the standard legal furniture must exist and actually work: legal notice reachable from every page, privacy notice matching what the site technically does (does it claim "no cookies" while loading trackers?), consent handling where required, terms linked where they bind, and mail flows that identify the sender. We check presence, consistency, and technical implementation — and give you a precise gap list.

What this is not: legal advice. We are engineers, not lawyers, and German law is strict about that line for good reason. Where texts need to be written or judged, the report tells you exactly what to bring to your lawyer — which turns an expensive open-ended consultation into a short, specific one.

Operations readiness

The part nobody checks before launch and everybody regrets after: does a backup exist and has a restore been rehearsed? Will anything alert you when the app goes down during your launch spike? Do payment webhooks survive retries? Is there a rollback path when the first hotfix goes wrong? We verify the machinery you'll need in week one — and if you'd rather not run it yourself, Managed Operations takes over from day one, with the Launch Check fee credited.

The guarantee is the same as always: if the report doesn't surface at least one material gap you didn't know about, you don't pay.

Launch once. Launch checked.

Send us the app before your announcement — read-only, $249, guarantee-backed, verdict in five business days.
