Your vibe-coded concept. Production-ready.
What is Go-Live?
Bring your vibe-coded proof of concept, and 1902 Software's Go-Live turns it into a production-ready application through a defined, fixed-price build, with 1902 Software taking technical responsibility for the result.
Your prototype proves the idea can work; Go-Live handles the engineering needed for real users, payments, and business data.
If you have an idea but don’t know how to vibe code it, or want guidance while shaping a prototype with agentic development tools, Co-Dev is the better entry point. It includes a two-session workshop before collaborative shaping begins. Go-Live is for a proof of concept you’ve already built. Both routes lead to a scoped production build.
Find out what can stay and what must change
A working proof of concept can demonstrate the product clearly while still hiding production blockers. Authentication may be incomplete, the data model may not support real usage, or dependencies may introduce risks that weren’t visible during prototyping.
1902 Software reviews the codebase, architecture, data model, dependencies, and authentication. You receive an assessment report that identifies production-blocking issues and recommends whether to harden the existing application or rebuild specific parts.
We don’t assume AI-built code should be discarded. We also won’t preserve code simply because it already exists. The recommendation follows what the assessment finds, so reusable work stays useful and unsafe shortcuts don’t get carried into production.
What you receive before the build begins
- Production-readiness assessment: A documented review of the application’s code, architecture, data model, dependencies, and authentication.
- Harden-versus-rebuild recommendation: A clear decision on which parts can be retained and which need to change.
- Fixed-price production scope: A proposal derived from the assessment findings, with the production deliverables defined before development begins.
The production work then runs as a Fixed Price Project. Work outside the agreed scope is quoted separately rather than being added without approval.
How your proof of concept reaches production
- Assess: We examine the existing application and document what blocks production use.
- Scope: We turn the findings into a defined production build and fixed-price proposal.
- Build: We harden the reusable parts and replace what can’t responsibly be carried forward.
- Test and deploy: We complete acceptance testing and deploy the application into your environment.
- Hand over: You receive the complete source code in your own repository, so you can own and maintain the application.
The result is a live application in your environment, not another prototype. After launch, maintenance, fixes, and further improvements can continue through Continuous Monthly Development.
Built for code produced with AI tools
1902 Software uses agentic development and understands how AI-assisted applications are shaped. We work with the AI tools you're already comfortable using. We support Claude, Codex, Manus, Grok Bot, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Windsurf, and we also bring our own models, skills, and agentic development workflows to the project.
Every solution is still thoroughly reviewed, tested, and verified by experienced software developers and testers before delivery. Read more about our AI development process.
Where Go-Live fits
Go-Live begins with a proof of concept you already have. Co-Dev is the sibling service for clients who want to start from zero and shape the prototype with 1902 Software before it becomes a production build.
If the product idea is already visible in working software, Go-Live starts by examining the software itself. You don’t pay to repeat a discovery process that the proof of concept has already completed, but production requirements still need to be assessed and scoped.
How pricing works at each stage
- Go-Live starts with a paid assessment. The assessment findings are then used to prepare a fixed price production build proposal. Change requests outside the agreed production scope are quoted separately.
- Meetings are billed at $80 hourly based on actual time spent.
- Post-launch development is handled through Continuous Monthly Development.
Next step: put the proof of concept on the table
Book a consultation to discuss what the application does today, where it needs to run, and what it must handle at launch, including users, payments, data, and internal requirements. The first practical question is simple: does the current codebase have a sound path to production, or is a targeted rebuild the safer choice?
Free, no-commitment
Commonly asked questions
Will my AI-built code be reused?
Where the assessment shows it can be carried into production responsibly, yes. 1902 Software evaluates each part on its technical merits rather than discarding the entire proof of concept or preserving unsafe shortcuts.
What does the paid assessment include?
It covers the codebase, architecture, data model, dependencies, and authentication. You receive an assessment report identifying production blockers, plus a recommendation on what to harden and what to rebuild.
How is the production build priced?
The assessment findings become a defined, fixed-price production proposal. If you request work outside the agreed scope, it is quoted separately for approval.
What do I receive at handover?
You receive the live application in your environment and the complete source code in your own repository.
