Is Your AI Prototype Ship-Ready?
You built something real with Claude, Cursor, or a similar tool. It works on your machine. But 30, 60, 90 days later — it's still not live.
The prototype isn't the problem. The gap between “works locally” and “deployed with real users paying for it” is where most AI projects die. Send me your prototype. I'll review it async and send back exactly what's blocking deployment — no sales call required.
Submit Your Prototype for ReviewThe 5 Things Blocking Your Deployment
These are the gaps I check in every audit. Most prototypes are blocked by 2–3 of them. Knowing which ones is the first step.
Hosting & Infrastructure
Where does this actually run? VPS, managed platform, serverless? What happens when it gets real traffic?
Authentication
User accounts, login flows, session management. Most prototypes skip this entirely — production can't.
Payments
Stripe integration, subscription logic, webhook handling. The prototype works; charging for it is a different problem.
Error Handling & Reliability
Your prototype crashes gracefully on your laptop. Real users will find every edge case. Production needs guardrails.
User Onboarding
How do your first 10 customers actually use this? What's the URL, what do they see first, what do you do when something breaks?
What You Get Back
I'll review what you share async and return a short Loom recording or written doc — usually within 2–3 business days.
- A plain-English list of every gap between your prototype and production
- Honest assessment: is this a 1-week or 1-month job to ship
- The specific deployment path I'd use for your stack
- Whether you have the pieces to do it yourself or where you're likely to get stuck
Who this is for
Justin Reed
Founder, Beachcliff Technologies · Rocky River, OH
I've shipped AI tools for my own business and for clients. The deployment gap is real and I've hit every blocker on this list personally. I know what a prototype needs to become a product — and I know where people get stuck.
Questions
What does the Ship-Readiness Audit cover?
The audit reviews your prototype against the 5 most common deployment blockers: hosting and infrastructure, authentication, payments, error handling and reliability, and user onboarding. You'll get a plain-English summary of what's blocking launch and what it would take to fix it.
Is there any obligation after the audit?
No obligation. You'll get honest, actionable feedback regardless of whether you choose to work with us. If the path forward is something you want help with, we can talk about that — but the audit is genuinely free.
Who is this audit for?
Business owners who have a working AI prototype — built with Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or similar tools — that has been sitting undeployed for 30+ days. You need an existing business or customer base and want to charge real customers for your tool. This is not for idea-stage projects.
How do I submit my prototype for review?
Use the contact form with "Ship-Readiness Audit" as the subject. Share a link to your repository, a demo, or a description of what you built. Justin will review it async and return a short Loom recording or written doc within 2–3 business days.

The audit is free. No call required. You'll get actionable answers — not a sales pitch. If the path forward is something you need help with, we can talk about that too.
