Inside an audit

See what a useful technical review gives you.

What needs fixing, why it matters and how to check the result. This sample shows how a production-readiness audit turns technical observations into decisions you can act on.

Asterpath · fictional illustrative sample

Asterpath is a made-up product. This report and its supporting records show what you receive in an audit. They are not client work, a testimonial or evidence of a real project.

Public sample edition: 11 September 2026 · revision 4. No email address required.

Three things to look for.

  1. 01

    The decision

    Start with the executive summary. It explains the launch decision, the most important risks and what was reviewed to reach that decision.

  2. 02

    The evidence

    Each finding explains the problem, what it affects, the recommended next step and how to verify the change. References point to the evidence in the report and supporting pack.

  3. 03

    The limits

    You can see what was reviewed, what was only partly checked, what remains unverified and what does not apply. Areas that could not be accessed are marked as unverified.

Coverage

Follow the product, from first use to recovery.

The chapters separate questions that need different checks. A working sign-in does not prove that permissions are correct. A tidy codebase does not prove the app is ready to release.

We agree which user journeys and systems to review, how deeply to check them and what access is available. Your report names anything excluded or unverified. An audit does not include a full test of every chapter by default.

Get a clear plan for your own app.

The paid audit costs £400–£750. We agree what it covers before work starts. You receive written findings, priorities, review limits and a quote for the agreed fixes. You can take the plan to another developer.

The audit assesses the parts of your app we agree to review. It does not include penetration testing or compliance certification, and it cannot guarantee security or store approval.
