Every audit is performed by a Launch Captain.
Launch Captains are senior developers with no stake in what you built. They didn't write it. They have nothing to defend. Their only job is to tell you the truth.
How we vet Launch Captains
Less than 1 in 5 applicants becomes a Launch Captain. The bar exists because the verdict has to mean something — a founder is about to make a real decision based on it.
