I built a $99 “ship / don’t-ship” audit because vibe-coded apps keep failing in boring ways

Building with Cursor / Lovable / Bolt / v0 is absurdly fast. Launching those apps into real users is where I kept seeing the same expensive failures:

• Signup works for the founder and fails for everyone else
• One ID tweak and User A sees User B
• Paywall looks paid when it isn’t (or unlocks free)
• Primary path is unusable on mobile

None of that is “exotic security research.” It’s boring risk that burns a launch spike.

So I shipped Launch Gate Starter — an async ship / don’t-ship audit for vibe-coded and indie SaaS apps:

• $99
• Report within 24 hours of complete intake (calendar hours; payment alone doesn’t start the clock)
• Journey scorecard (up to 5 critical paths) + security smoke + evidence + fix prompts you can paste into Cursor
• Bonus: Launch Priority Card (top 3 fixes by launch-risk) + one free 7-day P0 re-smoke
• Full Recheck $49 later if you want a diff-focused re-run
• No Zoom. No live card charges on your production checkout for Starter by default (sandbox / test account preferred)

I’m not selling “zero bugs.” I’m selling a referee before strangers trust you with accounts, data, or money.

Questions for the community:

1. If you’ve shipped a vibe-coded app in the last year — what broke first in production: auth, tenancy, billing, or mobile?
2. Would you rather pay ~$99 once for a verdict pack, or ~$49/mo for light monitoring after launch?

Happy to answer process questions in the comments (method, what’s in/out of scope, how the 24h clock works).
