FAQ
Fair questions, plain answers
The questions people ask before starting: what's free, what's paid, and the boundaries of what we sell.
What exactly is Finishing Pass?
A method and a library for finishing AI-built products. You apply free with just your email; your own agent runs our audit skills, one at a time, and its answers become The Readiness Report: where you stand across eight dimensions and what a stranger would hit. We read nothing at this step. The Finishing Pass ($149 one-time) is the paid half: you upload the report your agent produced, and we read it and hand your agent the exact fixes, in order, with a way to prove each held, plus one re-check. The full process is here.
Is the report really free?
Yes. Your agent does all of it on your side, so nothing lands on us to charge for, and we read nothing at this step. We’d rather show you than tell you: a report you can check against your own project is the best proof the method works. No card, no trial clock, no obligation to buy anything.
What do I get with the Finishing Pass?
You upload the report your agent produced, and we read it and hand your agent every fix your project needs in full: numbered steps, each ending in verification checks, in the right order. Plus the working procedure, downloads of your report and fix plan, and one re-check: resubmit your revised report after the work and get a fresh reading. $149, one-time. The full split is on the pricing page.
What is Finishing Pass not?
Not an agency, not an audit firm, not a certification. We never see or touch your code, and we make no outcome guarantees. We promise a systematic reading and a clear path, not a stamp.
Which agents and platforms are covered?
Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf, and “other / mixed” setups too. The pack is plain markdown, platform-agnostic by design, with platform-specific notes only where a platform genuinely changes the advice. If your agent can read a file, it can run the audits.
Do I need to share my code?
No. Only your agent’s report. Your agent audits the code where it already lives; you skim the finished report and decide what to send. Your code, your repo, and your credentials never travel.
How long does it take?
The audits take about an afternoon of agent time, and your agent’s answers are your The Readiness Report right away, in your hands. If you buy the Finishing Pass, your fixes come back within minutes of uploading. The finishing work itself depends on what’s found. Typically days of focused agent work, not months.
What do you store, and why?
The email you start with, and, if you buy the Finishing Pass, the report and project details you upload, because those are what the analysis reads and what your private results link serves. If you buy the Finishing Pass, Stripe processes the payment; card details never touch our servers. We don’t sell data, and you can have your submission deleted by emailing hello@finishingpass.com. The plain-language details are in the privacy policy.
What if my report is mostly clean?
Then your agent’s own answers show it, and you’re close. You’ll know that for free, without paying anything. If you do take the Finishing Pass, a clean report just means a short fix list; the selection is deterministic code and cannot invent findings to justify a bigger pack.
Can I get a fresh read after the work?
Yes. The Finishing Passincludes one re-check. When you’ve worked the pack, resubmit your revised report and a fresh Readiness Report comes back. Along the way you’re not flying blind either: every skill ends with verification checks you run yourself, so you confirm each fix as you go.
What about refunds?
The report is free, so there’s nothing to refund there. If the Finishing Passdidn’t help, reply to your receipt within fourteen days and we’ll refund it. No form, no call, no “retention flow.”
Why $149 when developers quoted me thousands?
Because it’s a different product. A consultant rediscovers the same findings from scratch, at day rates. That’s where the quotes come from. Finishing Pass curates each failure pattern once, in a library, and matches your project against it. That’s why the diagnosis can be free and the path costs $149. The method page walks through the economics. What $149doesn’t buy is hands-on rescue: your agent does the work, we supply the lens.
Something we didn’t cover? Email hello@finishingpass.com. A person reads it.
Finish what you built.
The Finishing Pass turns your report into the exact fixes, in order, each one proven, until your product is ready for real users. It starts with The Readiness Report, free: your own agent runs the audit, no upload, no payment to begin.
Your code stays with you, and the free report needs no upload.
