Production Lift
Ship Your Prototype.
Bolt/Lovable/v0/Cursor → production in 1 week.
actually get
You built it in Bolt, Lovable, v0, or Cursor. You validated the idea. Real users are 30 days away. The prototype works in demo and breaks at user #100. One week, one architect, fixed scope: production-grade auth, multi-tenant Row-Level Security, Playwright e2e tests, security hardening, deployment to Vercel with Sentry + Vercel Analytics wired.
Your source code, your repo, walk-away ownership on Friday. The same playbook that shipped wintura.ai applied to your specific app — no rebuild, no rewrite, just the production hardening the prototype was missing.
Hard limits
- Starting codebase≤ 30K LOC
- Routes / pages≤ 10
- Tech stackReact / Next.js / TypeScript standard
- Application count1 (not microservices)
In every Production Lift
- Production-grade auth (NextAuth v5 or Clerk + OAuth)
- Multi-tenant Row-Level Security (Postgres)
- Playwright e2e test suite (≤ 15 spec files)
- Security headers + CSRF + rate limiting
- Vercel / Railway deployment + env management
- Observability wired (Vercel Analytics + Sentry)
- 30-day post-ship bug fix window
Explicit exclusions
- New feature development (use Feature Sprint)
- Mobile-native rewrite (responsive web only)
- Backend migration (e.g., Postgres → Mongo)
- Performance optimization beyond Vercel defaults
- Complex AI pipeline reconfiguration
Opinionated by default
One default stack for 80% of builds. Same stack shipped wintura.ai. Same stack the architect knows cold and has a runbook for at 3 a.m. When you swap pieces, the timeline goes up — the scoping call surfaces the swap before work starts.
Operational rhythm
Not a process for show — the scaffolding that keeps a fixed-price engagement on track when life happens. Same rhythm across every Lift, Sprint, and Pod.
Daily commits
Every weekday, to a branch you can pull and run locally.
End-of-day async videos
3–5 min Loom summarizing decisions and blockers — review on your schedule.
Friday demo on Zoom
30 min walkthrough of what shipped that week — questions answered live.
Slack-first, decisions in 24h
Our workspace and yours linked. Questions get answered in a day, both directions.
Concrete deliverables
No slide deck. No "phase 2 proposal." The list below is what hits your repo, your inbox, and your stack on the last day of the engagement.
Most agencies say "fixed price" and reserve the right to add a change order the moment the brief shifts. Soatech doesn't.
The way fixed price stays honest is by being unreasonable about scope. The scoping doc lists every flow, every screen, every integration. If something isn't on that list, it isn't in this engagement. If you discover during the build that you need it, the current scope ships as planned, and v1.1 begins after handoff — at the next tier's price, or as a follow-on Feature Sprint.
This sounds rigid. In practice founders consistently report it's the most valuable thing about the process — the discipline of saying "v1.1" thirty times across six weeks is what keeps the timeline honest.
Bolt / Lovable / v0 / Cursor / Replit Agent founders with a working prototype and real users coming. Anyone whose Audit findings flagged Critical or High issues.
Founders with no prototype yet (start with Blueprint). Codebases > 30K LOC or > 10 routes (needs MVP Sprint). Mobile-native apps (responsive web only).
Upsell trigger: Codebase > 30K LOC or > 10 routes → scope an MVP Sprint instead → MVP Sprint Standard
