# Groundwork

> Groundwork helps founders without a tech background turn a prototype built with AI tools ("vibe-coded" apps) into a live, production-ready app that people can pay for and trust.

## What we do

- Validate: cut the idea down to what you can build and sell.
- Build right: you keep using AI; we set the guardrails and fix what it gets wrong.
- Launch: hosting, payments, legal basics and monitoring. The app goes live and you own the code and the accounts.

## Where AI-built apps break, and what production looks like

- Works on your laptop -> works for 5,000 users at 3 a.m.
- API keys in the code -> secrets locked down
- No backups -> data you can always restore
- "Payments coming soon" -> Stripe live, VAT, refunds
- You find bugs from angry users -> alerts before anyone notices

## Who it is for

- A good fit if you have a prototype or a clear idea, plan to charge real customers, want to own your code and accounts, and prefer plain answers to jargon.
- Not a fit if you want it built while you stay out of it, are shopping for the cheapest quote, or need a large team for years.
