Meridian · Senior software studio
From an AI-built prototype to software you can run.
Meridian is a small senior studio. Between us, 30+ years in video games, finance, and web. Most of what comes in is an app someone built in Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, or a cousin of those. Vibe Code Rescue is how we take that on: a written look in about 48 hours, then a fixed scope. Secrets, auth, tenancy, and payments first. We keep what already works. The repo stays yours.
On a rescue
You get a written diagnostic, usually within 48 hours of access. It says keep, harden, or rebuild, and it ranks what we found. If salvage makes sense, a fixed quote is attached. You can stop there.
If you continue, we start with the things that cause incidents and failed diligence: secrets, auth, tenancy, payments. Polish waits. The work lands in your repo. When it is done you can keep using Cursor or Claude. We will leave rules and a CI check if you want the same bug to stay fixed.
Where that judgement comes from
The 30+ years are not one job repeated.
Game launches, where the date does not move and the build has to be stable on Friday. Finance work, where auth and payments have to survive someone reading them. A checkout that only works in test mode does not count. Web products, where tenancy, deploys, and logs are the actual product, even when nobody puts them on the homepage.
What we sell
Rescue is the main offer. Growth and books are separate packages, already scoped. The other three are conversations, not packages yet.
Vibe Code Rescue
For apps built in Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit Agent, Claude Code, or Windsurf. Diagnostic first. Then a fixed scope on the parts that would hurt you in production.
