WhatA service that pairs with rapid prototyping teams to automatically generate a production-grade specification and migration plan from throwaway code, so the promised rewrite actually happens.
SignalCommenters universally agree that prototypes and MVPs inevitably become permanent production systems because the rewrite never happens — once customers are using something, the cost of rebuilding is always deprioritized until it causes a crisis.
Why NowAI coding tools have made prototype generation 10x faster, dramatically increasing the volume of throwaway code that gets accidentally promoted to production without anyone planning for the consequences.
MarketSeries A-C startups and growth-stage product teams; ~20K potential accounts at $2-5K/mo; no direct competitor owns this — it sits between architecture tools and technical debt management.
MoatAccumulates patterns across hundreds of prototype-to-production migrations, building a proprietary playbook that improves migration accuracy over time.
