Predictable problems. A library, not a consultant.

Why the gaps repeat

Products built with agents share ancestry. The same generation of models, similar stacks and scaffolds, prompted by people with the same sensible goal: make it work. And agents are genuinely good at that. That’s why you have something real to show.

But “make it work” gets built before “make it hold.” So what’s missing clusters in the same places, project after project: a password reset path nobody asked for, so nobody built. Database rules still sitting at their permissive defaults. Error screens that show raw internals instead of a calm sentence. No way to hear about a failure you didn’t personally witness.

None of this is a flaw in you, or really in your agent. It’s what building fast looks like from the inside. And they aren’t random. The same gaps repeat, which means they can be named, cataloged, and closed.

Predictable means library prices, not consulting prices

A consultant walking into your project rediscovers the same twenty findings from scratch, at day rates. That’s where the absurd quotes come from. Bespoke attention costs bespoke money.

A library changes the economics. Each failure pattern is curated once: how to see it, how to fix it, how to verify the fix. And it’s kept sharp across every project we read. Matching your project against that library is the cheap part. That’s the entire pricing story: the diagnosis is free, and $149 for the Finishing Pass isn’t discounted consulting. It’s what finishing costs once the pattern has already been solved.

Perception and judgment, kept separate

Tekton splits the work into three roles, each given to the party best equipped for it:

• Your agent gathers the evidence. It built the product; it has the context and the access. Our audits tell it exactly what to look at and insist on honesty over reassurance. UNKNOWN is a valid answer.
• Our analysis reads the report.An AI model tuned to our rubric turns a messy, honest report into a structured assessment across the eight dimensions. That’s perception, which is what models do well, and it’s the spine of The Tekton Report.
• Deterministic code selects the skills. The same assessment always produces the same skill list. No judgment calls, no upsell reflex, and no way for the system to invent findings to justify a bigger pack.

The lens: eight dimensions

Every project is read across the same eight dimensions, each a plain question you could ask out loud. The report scores each and shows the findings behind the score:

Why the report is free

The Tekton Report costs nothing, and that isn’t a promotion. Your agent does the expensive part, gathering the evidence, on your side; our reading costs us little. And a diagnosis you can check against your own project is more convincing than anything we could say about ourselves. If the mirror isn’t accurate, you’ve lost nothing but an afternoon of agent time.

What we are and what we aren’t

Nobody honest can stamp “nothing will go wrong” on a living product, at $149 or any price. We make no outcome guarantees. What we promise is the method: a systematic reading across the eight dimensions, and a clear, ordered path through what it finds.

The honest limits

The reading is only as good as the report. Agents can miss things, and a report can be wrong. That’s exactly why the audits demand UNKNOWN over confident guesses. An unknown that’s been named is something you can work with; a guess is not.

And the bar matters: Tekton aims at a safe first beta, your first hundred users, not at an enterprise audit. If your product moves serious money, handles medical records, or serves minors, treat the report and the pass as a floor and bring in specialists for the parts of your world that need them. We’d rather tell you that here than let you discover it later.
