Code Audit — Senior Review of Vibe-Coded Platforms | Scalexa

Code Audit — $3,000 to $5,000 — 1 to 2 weeks

Senior engineer reads the codebase end-to-end. Maps the data model, the request flow, the auth surface, the failure modes. You get a written report covering: what is working, what is load-bearing AND broken, a remediation SOW with defensible hour estimates by module, and an AWS cost reduction estimate.

What's in the audit report

• Executive summary — three biggest risks in plain English
• Module-by-module risk register with severity and effort
• Auth and security findings (httpOnly cookies, CSRF, XSS, RBAC gaps)
• Database findings (N+1 queries, missing indexes, cost hotspots)
• Frontend findings (state management, bundle size, hydration mismatches)
• Infrastructure findings (over-provisioning, missing observability)
• Remediation SOW with hour estimates per fix, prioritised by risk × effort
• Recommendation: refactor vs rebuild, with the data behind the call

How it differs from a security audit

A security audit looks for vulnerabilities. A Scalexa Code Audit looks at the whole system — security, performance, maintainability, cost, and team velocity. We will flag security findings and recommend a follow-up pen test if the surface area warrants it.

What you do with the report

Refactor with us, refactor with your in-house team, or shop the SOW with another vendor. About 95% of audited platforms are saved with a targeted refactor; about 5% genuinely need a rebuild. The audit gives you the data to make that call.
