New service: no reviews delivered yet

A pre-close tech review of the micro-SaaS you are about to buy

For people buying a micro-SaaS business who are not engineers. Before you wire the money, get a short written report and a plain-English list of questions for the seller. The seller runs our scan workflow on their production branch in GitHub Actions and sends us only the findings and provenance files — we never receive a copy of the code. $199 flat.

How it works automated and AI-assisted scans, then hand-checked findings and seller questions

  • Secrets left in code or git history
  • Outdated dependencies, missing backups or tests
  • Accounts, vendors or domains that may not transfer cleanly

    What it will not do

      Request a review

      Online checkout is not switched on yet. Tell me about the deal and I will reply by email. Sending this does not order anything and nothing is charged.

      Do not put passwords, API keys, source code, or the seller's or business's name in this form. It asks for none of that.

      Is there a live deal right now? (required)

      Live means you are in talks with a specific seller, or have made or accepted an offer.

      Has the seller agreed to run our scan workflow on their production branch? (required)

      Privacy: your answers and email are used only to reply to this request and, if you order, to do the review. They go to the form provider that delivers them to me, and are never shared or sold.

Form and order details are deleted within 30 days after the order closes, except records that Stripe or tax rules require us to keep.

      Questions

      What exactly do I get?

The seller runs our scan workflow on their production branch in GitHub Actions and sends us only the findings and provenance files — we never receive a copy of the code. Length and format are not fixed.

      How does access work?

      The seller runs our scan workflow on their production branch in GitHub Actions and sends us only the findings and provenance files — we never receive a copy of the code. We review the commit the seller scanned. We only say it matches production when a live check succeeds. If it doesn't, the report says we could not confirm the commit matches the live site.

      Does this review the live production site?

      We review the commit the seller scanned. We only say it matches production when a live check succeeds. If it doesn't, the report says we could not confirm the commit matches the live site.

      When will I get it?

      The delivery time is not set yet, and online ordering stays switched off until it is. The refund terms next to the price cover a missed delivery date.

      How is the review done?

      Automated and AI-assisted scans, then hand-checked findings and seller questions. This page makes no claim of professional credentials or sign-off.

      What happens to my details and the scan outputs?

      Scan outputs, and any code excerpts quoted in findings, are deleted within 7 days of delivery. Form and order details are deleted within 30 days after the order closes, except records that Stripe or tax rules require us to keep.

      Do you want the code or the seller's name on this page?

      No. Neither form asks for code, repo links, passwords or the name of the business. Please do not send them through this page.

      Is this legal, financial or investment advice?
