Oversight
Oversight is for teams who build with AI every week and would like someone senior to look at each change before it reaches their customers. You keep working at the pace AI allows, and we make sure each change holds up.
How it works
AI tools make changes quickly, and most of those changes are fine. A few, though, quietly open a security hole, slow a page down or put personal data somewhere it should not be, and they are hard to spot unless someone is looking for them. Oversight puts a person between those changes and your customers.
We would usually suggest starting with a Readiness Review, so that any existing problems are found and fixed once, and Oversight then keeps them from coming back.
The repository (the shared home for your code and its history) can be yours or one we set up. You and your team keep full access to everything, and nobody, ourselves included, can push a change straight to production.
You can use Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, ChatGPT or whichever tool suits you. Each change is put forward as a request to merge, rather than going straight in.
These scan for security problems, known weaknesses in the third-party packages your code relies on, failing tests and poor code quality, so the obvious problems are flagged before a person looks at it.
We either approve the change or explain in plain English what needs to be different, often with a prompt you can hand straight back to your AI assistant.
Where you have a staging copy of the site, changes go there first. If something does go wrong once a change is live, we roll it back.
We monitor the application, apply patches, keep backups and look after the hosting. You will hear from us whenever something needs a decision, and once a month in any case.
Tiers
Oversight is paid monthly, and either of us can end it with three months' notice. Prices exclude VAT and any third-party hosting costs, which we pass on at cost.
£600 a month, plus VAT
One small application that changes now and then.
A good place to start
£1,500 a month, plus VAT
A team building with AI every week.
£3,500 a month, plus VAT
Systems the business depends on.
A change review covers one request to merge of normal size. If you go over your allowance in a month, we will still review everything, and then talk with you about whether a different tier would suit you better. We will never hold a change back because of a count.
A useful side effect
Every review teaches us something about what your AI assistant gets wrong in your codebase, and we turn that into written rules and instructions which it reads before it writes anything.
Over time the same mistakes stop turning up, reviews become quicker, and your team becomes better at spotting problems for themselves. We make your AI tools better. We would much rather you needed us for the difficult decisions than for the same slip every week.
Production Readiness Review
The price is fixed before we start, from £1,500. You will receive a short report with a red, amber and green summary, and the ten fixes that matter most, in the order we would tackle them.
