Non-Technical Founders Lack Visibility Into Scalability of AI-Generated Codebases

A growing cohort of non-technical founders are building functional products using AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex, etc.) but have no reliable way to assess whether their architecture can withstand real user load. This creates a dangerous blind spot at the exact inflection point when traction begins — the founder has validated demand but cannot evaluate technical risk before scaling. The gap between 'it works for 10 users' and 'it survives 1,000 users' is invisible to them, and there is no standardized, accessible audit process designed for this profile of builder.
