Apps built with AI
What it costs to fix or finish an AI-built app
Short answer: start with the step that answers your question. A one-day triage tells you whether to launch, fix first or rebuild; an audit prices the fixes on a live product; the discovery week plans the stages; each stage then has a fixed price.

If you are not sure the app is safe to launch, the triage is the cheapest answer. If you already know it needs work and want it planned, the discovery week is the start. The triage comes off the next step when you take it within 14 days, and the discovery comes off the first stage.

What changes the price of a stage
The size of a stage depends on how much of the app is kept, how many integrations must move, and how much data needs to change shape. The discovery week turns those answers into a number before any code is written.
Questions
Is the triage credited if I continue?
Yes. The triage comes off the price of the audit or the discovery in full when you take it within 14 days.
Do you charge by the hour?
No. Each step has a published fixed price, and each stage is priced before it starts.
