Answer 4 gating questions
Load handling, backup/recovery, human auth review, and bug visibility are each a yes/no gate rather than a graded score.

How it works
We apply threshold logic, not averaging
A failed critical gate — unreviewed auth or bugs that would reach users unnoticed — forces a 'still a prototype' verdict regardless of the other answers.
Get a clear verdict and next step
You get one of two classifications: production-ready or still a prototype, plus the specific gate to fix next.

Frequently asked questions
How is this different from a detailed audit tool?
This tool deliberately isn't a detailed score breakdown — it's a small set of decisive gating questions that produce one clear-cut verdict. For a fuller category-by-category score, use Vibe Audit instead.
Why does one failed answer sometimes override the others?
Some risks are critical regardless of how well everything else is handled — unreviewed authentication logic or bugs that reach users unnoticed are treated as automatic disqualifiers, not just point deductions.
Does this test my actual running application?
No. This classification is based on your answers to these questions — it does not test or scan your actual running application, infrastructure, or code.
What should I do after getting a 'still a prototype' verdict?
Fix the failed gate first, especially if it's a critical one (auth review or bug visibility), before routing real user traffic to the app.
