The Conveyor Belt

A managed finishing pipeline that attaches to your dev environment and moves AI-built software through a 13-layer production audit into deployment. Your team builds. We finish. It ships.

The Product

The Belt

Your team builds. Products drop onto the belt at the on-ramp that fits. We audit, finish, verify, and ship to production.

Every on-ramp passes through the audit. Audit in scopes the work. Audit out verifies it's done. The report becomes the scope of work.

The Product

How the Belt Works

Products enter through the audit gateway, move through modular finishing on a dedicated branch, pass staging verification, and exit production-ready.

Input
Your Code

Your team pushes code to a dedicated finishing branch connected to the belt. Vibe-coded apps, citizen-built tools, or MVPs in progress.

Gateway
Entry Audit

The 13-layer Rapid Platform Audit scans every layer, scores Pass / Warning / Critical, and generates the modular work order. The report becomes the scope.

The Belt
Finishing

Senior engineers direct AI to fix, harden, and build across every flagged layer. Work delivered in $8K / 40-hour modules with three demos per module.

The Belt
Staging

Finished code deploys to a hosted staging environment. Exit audit re-scans all 13 layers. Optional pen testing and SOC2 documentation. Customer reviews and signs off.

Gateway
Exit Audit

All 13 layers must reach Pass. Nothing ships until the exit audit green-lights the product. Scorecard shows entry vs. exit comparison.

Output
Production

Code merges to the production branch. Olakai governance application embedded for ongoing monitoring: KPIs, health, compliance.

On-Ramps

Four Ways On

Different products enter at different points. Every on-ramp passes through the audit gateway.

Full Run

MVP Build

Idea to production. Architecture, build, finishing, and deployment. The complete journey through the belt.

Vibe-Coded App

Your team built it to 80%. The audit scans what's missing. We finish the last 20% that makes it production-grade.

The Audit Gateway

The 13-layer Rapid Platform Audit is the mechanism that makes the belt work. It scans, scores, scopes, and verifies.

Entry Audit

Scans the product against all 13 production layers. Every layer scored. The findings generate the modular engineering plan.

  • Full codebase review via GitHub integration
  • Live deployment probe and security scan
  • Severity-rated findings with file-level specificity
  • Prioritized punchlist ranked by impact
  • Module count and scope determination
  • Branded PDF delivered in 24 hours

Exit Audit

Re-scans the finished product after modular work completes. Every layer must reach Pass before the product ships.

  • Full 13-layer re-verification
  • Scorecard comparison: entry vs. exit
  • Security and compliance sign-off
  • Production readiness confirmation
  • Olakai governance embedded in output
  • Green light to production deployment

The audit report becomes the scope of work. Criticals become P1 modules. Warnings become P2 modules. The punchlist is the work order.

The Standard

The 13 Layers

Every product on the belt is evaluated and finished against these 13 production engineering layers.

02APIs & Backend Logic
03Database & Storage
04Auth & Permissions
05Hosting & Deployment
06Cloud & Compute
07CI/CD & Version Control

Scored Pass · Warning · Critical. The same standard, every product, every time.

This 13-layer standard is backed by CADE, a 39-exam certification program for AI-directed engineers. Learn more at mattmurphy.ai ↗
