The rule
If we do not find at least three concrete, fixable issues that justify the €4,800 — we refund 50%. We have not had to.
Scope
What we check, per focus
// FOCUS A
Headless commerce
Medusa, Next.js, payments
Checkout funnel + cart edge cases (back-button, expired tax, abandoned upsell). Webhook reliability. Inventory + reservation correctness. Payment + tax edge cases. Multi-carrier shipping. Search relevance + zero-result rate. SSR vs client checkout. PCI scope minimisation.
// FOCUS B
Editorial CMS
Payload, Postgres
Schema design (blocks vs collections) at your content volume. Per-field access control. Draft + scheduled publishing reliability. Live preview against production. Versioning + rollback. Multi-tenant via organizationId + RLS. Per-locale workflow. Migration cost to fix the wrong primitive.
// FOCUS C
AI integration
Claude, OpenAI, Gemini
Test set — does one exist? Prompt versioning + repository discipline. Per-user cost ceiling + alerts. Fallback path when the model degrades. Queryable logs in your DB (not vendor dashboard). 5-minute rollback. Output safety classifiers. Cost-per-feature attribution.
// FOCUS D
Stack performance
Next.js, observability
P95 latency on the 3 paths that matter (checkout, search, login). SLO + error-budget setup. Per-provider error rate. Webhook + queue depth. The 3 dashboards that fit on one screen. Alert fatigue audit. Background job idempotency + failed-job recovery. Cost vs traffic curve.
Across all focus areas, we also flag: dependency rot, secrets management, CI/CD friction, and any architecture decision that will be expensive to reverse at 3× your current scale.

Fit
Built for a specific kind of week
Fit when
- You have an existing production codebase
- You have a specific question (replatform yes/no, cost optimisation, AI feature go/no-go)
- You can give read access to the repo + observability dashboards
- You can spend 60 minutes total this week
Not a fit when
- You want general consulting on what stack to pick → book the free Second-Opinion call instead
- You want us to build the thing → audit first, build after
- You want a free 60-min "discovery" with no engineering work
FAQ
Straight answers
NDA?
Yes — 1-page mutual NDA on request, adds ~24h to scheduling.
What languages?
Croatian or English. Audit document in English regardless.
Can we split the week?
No. Mon–Fri only. The intensity is the point.
Does the audit pay back?
Pattern from past projects: top 3 fixes pay back 5–30× the fee within a quarter. We cannot promise. That is the pattern.
