Trusted by Founders Who Ship, Scale & Operate
Bristol's AI Code Engineering Partner
Bristol uniquely combines creative energy with engineering precision. Temple Quarter's startups, the Harbourside's digital agencies, and Filton's aerospace innovators are all building with AI coding tools. But Bristol's projects demand both creativity and the engineering rigour that comes with aerospace, creative, and enterprise standards. Control Shift provides Bristol with AI-native engineering that honours both.

AI-Built App Problems We Fix for Bristol Teams
Each AI builder has its own habits. Knowing them tells us where to look first, which is why most audits find the serious problems on day one.
What we find
Supabase tables with Row Level Security turned off or set too loosely, so the public key in the browser can read or change other users' data. A 2025 vulnerability report (CVE-2025-48757) found this pattern on many Lovable-built sites.
What we do
We write RLS policies table by table, move sensitive logic into edge functions, and test access as a logged-out user and as a second account.
What we find
Secret keys stored in client-side environment variables (anything prefixed VITE_ ends up in the browser bundle), and long fix-it prompt loops that leave duplicate components and dead code behind.
What we do
We move secrets to the server, rotate the exposed ones, and remove the duplicated code so the next change does not break three other screens.
What we find
One database shared by development and production, so an agent's test run or migration touches live data. In July 2025 a Replit agent deleted a founder's production database during a code freeze, which made this risk widely known.
What we do
We separate development and production databases, add automated backups with a tested restore, and limit what an agent can run against production.
What we find
Large AI-written changes merged without review: the same logic written three different ways, dependencies nobody chose on purpose, and no tests to show what an edit broke.
What we do
We add tests around the main user flows, remove unused dependencies, merge the duplicated logic and set up pull-request checks before anything reaches production.
v0 app rescue
Next.js
What we find
Server actions and API routes generated without an authentication or ownership check, so anyone who finds the endpoint can call it.
What we do
We add session and ownership checks to every server action and route, plus input validation and rate limits on public endpoints.

Rescue or Rebuild? How We Decide
Not every AI-built app is worth saving. We tell you which side yours falls on after the audit, before you pay for fixes.
Rescue makes sense when
- The main user flows work, they are just fragile
- Data sits in a real database with sensible tables
- The stack is mainstream (React, Next.js, Supabase, Firebase, Postgres)
- Problems are concentrated in auth, security, payments or performance
A rebuild is cheaper when
- Login, payments or permissions only exist in the frontend
- Data is stored in local storage, JSON files or one giant table
- Every fix breaks something unrelated, even after cleanup
- The app has to meet a compliance standard the current design cannot reach
Better to rebuild? A rebuild keeps your designs, copy and lessons from the first version, so it is usually much faster than the original build. See prototype to product.

FAQ
Common Questions
Vibe-Coded App Rescue in Bristol starts from GBP 1,500 for a code audit and scales up based on scope. Every project gets a fixed, scoped quote in GBP before any work begins.
Yes. We can start with the code you already have, whether it came from Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, Claude Code, or another tool. The first step is a practical review of what is working, what is risky, and what should be rebuilt before you spend more on features.
A code audit delivers results in 48 hours. Full production engineering typically takes 2–6 weeks depending on the state of your AI-generated code and production requirements.
UK GDPR is part of the delivery conversation, not a claim we make after the fact. We identify the data, access, retention and audit requirements that apply to your project, then document the controls that are in scope.
Yes — 100% code ownership on every project. Git repository, deployment credentials, and complete technical documentation are delivered at handover.
Yes. We work with code from Lovable, Bolt, Replit, Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Firebase Studio, and any other AI coding platform. Whatever tool generated your code, we can help improve it.
Sourced & Verified
Artificial Intelligence in Practice
Sourced background on AI adoption across industries.
Artificial intelligence systems learn from data to perform tasks — such as language understanding, image recognition and decision support — that typically require human intelligence.[1]
Generative large language models can draft text, answer questions and automate routine conversations, making them widely used for customer support and content production.[2]
