AI demo vs. production app
A working AI demo still needs a launch review.
A demo shows that a flow can work. A launch review checks who can access data, how payments affect access, what happens on failure and how the app is deployed. Forward Growth can review these areas and scope the missing work.
For founders preparing to accept real users or payments.

- 03Build & review
Pricing follows the scope. Existing code, integrations, content and release requirements affect the estimate. You’ll see deliverables, milestones and third-party costs before committing.
Useful answers.
Does an AI-built app always need rebuilding?
No. Review the existing code, services and constraints before choosing repairs or replacement.
Can a scanner verify everything?
Scanning can help, but product behavior, user permissions and failure handling also need checks appropriate to the application.
Does a review certify the app as secure?
No. It covers an agreed scope and findings at that point in time. Specialist testing or formal compliance review may be needed separately.
