My AI MVP Is Stuck at 80%. Fix It, Rebuild It or Sell It by Hand?
You got 80% of your MVP built in a weekend. The last 20% has taken months. You fix the login, and the dashboard breaks. You fix the dashboard, and the login breaks again. Every attempt costs credits.
Even professional developers struggle with this. In Stack Overflow's 2025 survey, 66% said AI code is "almost right, but not quite", and 45% said debugging it takes more time.
This 2-hour hands-on workshop helps you decide what to do next, and shows you how to keep earning while you do it.
What we'll work through
The 6 ways AI-built apps stall, and how to spot yours
A triage worksheet: what's actually broken, and what customers actually need
Fix, rebuild or pause: a simple decision tree with real fix costs
How to brief a developer and check the quote before you pay for a fix
Sell it by hand: design a version you can deliver manually and get paid for this month
Hot seats: 2 or 3 founders get their MVP triaged live
You'll leave with
A triage report and a clear fix, rebuild or pause decision
A developer brief you can send for a fixed-price quote
A hand-delivered offer you can sell while the product gets fixed
Bring: your MVP and your list of what's broken. Optional: score it first with the free 20-point audit, Who Really Owns Your AI-Built App?
Who it's for: non-technical founders with an AI-built MVP that won't quite work.
What founders say
"I enjoyed it, especially because I got to know what the right MVP looks like (I even got some screenshots). I figured everyone has similar questions and that was nice to know too."
Japanese founder, from our webinars
"It also helps me recognise when I'm falling into common founder traps or patterns, and redirects or pauses me before I go too far in the wrong direction."
