Before the Audit
Questions You Should Be Asking
When your dev team says "we're handling it," can you actually verify they are?
If your Series A investor sends a technical advisor next week, will your codebase pass review?
Is your dev team underdelivering, or are they actually doing great work? An independent audit answers in 48 hours.
What's the cost of finding a critical issue at month 12 instead of month 2?
DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
Sprint updates you can't evaluate. Slack messages that go hours without replies. Promises of "we're handling it." Most founders we talk to are nodding through standups they don't fully understand, signing $30K+/mo invoices for work they can't verify.
Your dev team says they're on track every week. But you have no way to verify that. The audit gives you an independent senior-level assessment of what's actually being shipped.
Hidden in a typical seed-stage healthtech codebase: PHI in plaintext logs, no automated backups, hardcoded credentials. The kind of issues that kill deals at the finish line.
When your Series A lead sends a technical advisor for diligence, they've audited 40+ codebases. They know what good looks like. Most founders find out where they stand on the call, not before.
Some dev teams are great. Others are coasting. You can't tell from sprint reports alone. The audit reveals what's actually being built vs what's being claimed.
The audit is free. The cost of trusting a team that shouldn't be trusted is not.
Sample Audit
Here's What We Typically Find
This is a real (anonymized) audit from a seed-stage healthtech startup spending $35K/mo on an offshore team. Five findings. Three of them were invisible to the founder.

100+ audit points across 12 categories. Codebase AND team. Full report delivered in 48 hours.
EHR / EMR Integration Experience
and 40+ others
The audit is free. The cost of not knowing what AI can replace is not.
Find Out If You're Building It RightProven Results
We've Done This Before. Here's Proof.
Genoplex.ai
Before
2 agencies failed. All code scrapped.
After
Live from scratch in 60 days. Patent jointly filed. Global pharma interest.
BitLab didn't just build our platform, they co-invented the technology with us.
Chris Leidli
CEO, Genoplex.ai
Caesar Health
Before
Clinics spending 15-20 hrs/week on phone admin. No full-workflow solution existed.
After
7 AI agents live. Scheduling, billing, insurance, collections automated. 10 clinics. HIPAA day one.
We saw the same problems in 50+ startups. We decided to solve it ourselves.
Shoukri Kattan
CTO, BitLab
MONMEDX
Before
Dev stalled. Offshore agency ghosted. Founder tried to CTO it himself.
After
EMR live in US and Canadian clinics. McGill University partnership.
If I have any regrets, it's that we didn't call BitLab sooner.

How It Works
4 Steps to Clarity
From first call to full report. Here's what happens.
Book a Call
(2 min)Pick a time. Tell us about your startup.
Discovery Call
(30 min)We learn your situation. Not the right fit? We'll say so.
Codebase + Team Audit
(48 hrs)Repo access under NDA. Our CTO and senior engineers review your architecture, compliance posture, tech debt, AND your team structure. We assess which roles AI should be handling and where headcount is burning runway.
Independent Codebase Audit
Senior-level review of what your team is actually shipping. Code quality, technical debt, security posture, deployment hygiene.
Team Efficiency Review
Are the right roles in place? Where is headcount burning runway? Which roles should AI be handling? Honest assessment.
Investor-Readiness Pre-Check
What a technical advisor will find on Series A diligence. Every gap, red flag, and fix. Pre-empt the conversation.
90-Day Action Plan + CTO Call
What to fix, who to hire, what to defer. 60-min walkthrough with Shoukri. Yours to keep.
We give this to qualified startups for free because founders who see the real state of their codebase and team almost always ask us to fix it.
Strategy Call with Shoukri
(60 min)Every finding walked through. Prioritized 90-day roadmap. Report is yours forever.
We Carry All the Risk. You Carry None.
Free Audit

System fails a HIPAA or PCI-DSS audit within 12 months? We fix it. Our cost.
2-Week Money-Back
Not blown away in the first 2 weeks? Full refund, no questions.
$50K Finding Guarantee
We find $50K+ in avoidable costs, compliance gaps, or team inefficiencies. If we can't, we tell you you're in good shape.
Your Code, Always
Full IP ownership from day one. NDAs, MSAs. We never hold code hostage.

We charge fees. You keep 100% of your cap table.
The only risk is not knowing what AI can replace. The audit eliminates that for free.
Who Leads Your Audit
Your CTO on Day One
Shoukri Kattan
CEO & Chief Technology Officer
Former Ericsson Director of Engineering. 100+ engineers managed. Systems built for Apple, AT&T, TELUS. Now he builds and operates Caesar Health, BitLab's own HIPAA-compliant AI platform.
- 20+ years in regulated industries (healthcare, telecom, fintech)
- 50+ products shipped, 0 compliance failures
- Personally leads every codebase + team audit and strategy call
- Reviews your code against the same standards he holds his own product to
"I don't consult from a slide deck. I open your codebase, find the problems, and fix them. If your team is doing well, I'll tell you that too."
Common Questions
Still Thinking It Over?
Here's what other healthtech founders asked before booking their free audit.
No catch. No credit card. No deposit. Full written codebase and team efficiency report with 90-day roadmap, yours to keep. We do this because founders who see the real state of their code and team almost always ask us to fix it.
Most of our audits are done with the founder's knowledge only at first. We sign an NDA, work from the codebase, and produce a report only you see. You decide what to share with your team afterward. Roughly 30% of audits result in firings or restructuring; the other 70% confirm the team is solid and surface specific areas to improve.
About 4 in 10 audits we run come back showing the team is doing solid work. We tell you that, in writing. You then have an independent senior-level confirmation that your $30K/mo dev spend is well-spent. That's not a wasted audit. That's peace of mind.
A fractional CTO is a long-term relationship that costs $5-15K/month. The audit is 48 hours, free, and gives you the same intel a fractional CTO would gather in their first month. Some founders take the audit and stop there. Others use the audit to decide whether they need a fractional CTO at all.
Code velocity (commits, deployments, story points). Technical debt accumulation rate. Communication quality (how clearly your team explains what they ship). Role gaps. Whether the work matches your stage of company. Whether AI tools are being leveraged or ignored.
We sign an NDA before reviewing anything. But if you're not ready for a code audit, we also offer an Agentic Strategy Session: a 60-minute deep dive on your architecture, team, and product positioning without accessing any code. Most founders start there.
Yes. Every finding includes: severity (critical / important / informational), exact location in the codebase, recommended fix with effort estimate, and impact on your business if left alone. No vague "consider improving this" language.
Genoplex: 0 to live in 60 days (2 agencies failed before us). Caesar Health: 7-agent AI in production in 90 days. MONMEDX: stalled project to EMR live in major clinics. We move fast.
No. Fees only. You keep 100% of equity and IP. Everything we build is yours, day one.
Senior team member, not a sales rep. We ask about your team, stack, and what's prompting this. If the audit fits, we schedule it. If not, we say so. 15-20 min, zero obligation.
Still have a question? The fastest way to get an answer is a 15-minute call. No pitch, no obligation.
