Go / no-go · Before traffic
Ads amplify whatever is already broken. This audit walks env parity, abuse paths, backups, smoke, and named owners — then says go or no-go. Not a vibe. Not a feature review. A single calm pass before strangers depend on the app.

Company-level evidence
Review methodologyIn plain words
A production audit is one walk before strangers arrive. Preview is not production. Abuse paths fail closed. Backups restore for real. Someone named owns go and rollback. You keep the product. You only buy traffic when the audit has names and a pass — not when a demo felt exciting.
Where “ship it” skips the walk
Teams buy ads with panel secrets, no restore drill, and no owner for rollback. The audit catches that.
Different secrets, Auth URLs, and feature flags — prove parity or fail.
Anonymous writes, open promote, unbounded paid APIs — must fail closed.
A screenshot is not a restore. Drill once.
If halt has no owner, the audit cannot say go.
The audit pass
Same order every time. No partial credit for polish.
01
Prod secrets and callbacks — not preview leftovers.
02
Anonymous and cross-tenant probes.
03
Timed. Named owner.
04
Halt path written before ads.
How to
One pass. Binary outcome.
Step 01
No prompt edits mid-audit.
Step 02
Prod project, prod callbacks.
Step 03
Anonymous writes, open admin, paid API burn.
Step 04
Clock it. Record who ran it.
Step 05
Stranger-like accounts.
Step 06
Names on go and halt.

Different secrets, Auth URLs, databases, and feature flags. If prod still points at preview values, the audit is no-go until parity is proven on the real host.
Anonymous mutating APIs, open promote or admin panels, cross-tenant reads, and unbounded paid inference or send routes. Probe them; do not assume the demo hid them.
A restore onto a clean project with a timed drill and a named owner. Export files you never opened do not count.
Someone for go, someone for halt/rollback, and someone for secrets access. Same person is allowed on a tiny team — but the names must be written.
Bring env access, a backup, and who can halt. We walk once and write go or no-go.
