For digital agencies
Pickvy gives your agency an objective, instant read on any codebase — built by an outsourced team, an outstaffed developer, or AI — so you screen quality, take over projects, and sign off on work with evidence, not hope.
The reality
A modern agency orchestrates several outsource and outstaff teams — and, increasingly, AI-generated code. Speed goes up; visibility goes down. You hand the result to an enterprise client under your brand, but you have no fast, objective way to know what's really inside.
78% of developers already worry that AI-written output is wrong — and most of that code now flows through agencies exactly like yours.
The core problem
At each gate you need objective proof of what the code is worth. Today you rely on the vendor's word — or an expensive, slow manual review.
PROBLEM 01
With several outsource teams, every codebase looks different and “done” means something different to each. For an enterprise client you have to screen progress and prove launch-readiness — with no common yardstick and no time to read every line.
One objective Health Score on the same rubric for every team and every project — healthy / needs stabilization / dangerous — with the issues that would break a launch ranked first. Schedule audits and watch the score move between releases, so you screen any team's real progress in hours, not weeks.
PROBLEM 02
When you inherit a codebase from another team, the incoming contractor bills a large sum for business analysis and initial testing — just to understand what's there, before any real work begins. That eats your margin and stalls the deal.
An instant audit maps the inherited codebase — architecture risks, the riskiest files, vulnerable dependencies, security issues, and tech debt — with a scoped backlog and effort sizing. Your team starts already oriented, and a single audit replaces most of a multi-thousand-dollar BA-and-testing ramp.
PROBLEM 03
Paying a contractor on their say-so is a gamble. Milestones get marked “done” that aren't, and every dispute turns into he-said/she-said.
An objective acceptance report at each milestone: does the delivered code clear the bar? Pay against a passing score, not a promise. If it fails, you hold third-party evidence and a precise list of what's missing — no arguments, no surprise rework after go-live.
And more
Objective third-party evidence ends the blame game and makes SLAs enforceable.
An instant map of risky files and structure cuts a new team's ramp-up time on unfamiliar code.
Pre-delivery QA so you never ship a subcontractor's landmine to your client under your name.
A scoped backlog with effort sizing means quotes you won't lose money on.
Pickvy specializes in exactly this new, opaque category — the code most teams can't vouch for.
Dependency, secret, and vulnerability scanning (OSV, Semgrep) surfaced in plain language.
The product
Pickvy audits any codebase — AI-generated or not — and answers the question a client and a PM both understand: is it healthy, does it need stabilization, or is it already dangerous? Every finding carries a measurable score, a priority, and a fix plan with a cost.
In your workflow
Plug Pickvy into the moments that used to be guesswork. Start with a Diagnostic Report; reach for a deeper tier when you need signed-off evidence.
What you get
| When | What Pickvy gives you |
|---|---|
| Screening a vendor's progress | An objective Health Score on the same rubric across every team |
| Taking over a project | A scoped map + backlog — skip most of the paid discovery |
| Before paying a milestone | A pass/fail acceptance report with third-party evidence |
| Before an enterprise launch | A readiness verdict with launch-blockers ranked |
The Agency plan adds scheduled audits, score history, and explainable score changes between releases across all your projects — standing quality control over every vendor at once.
Why Pickvy
Not your vendor grading their own homework. An independent verdict you can put in front of a client.
Not weeks and thousands. Pickvy replaces slow manual discovery and BA with an instant audit.
A verdict and a cost your PM and your client both understand — not a raw linter dump.
Your agency's name ships on every release. Pickvy makes sure you know exactly what you're shipping — start with a Diagnostic Report on a live project.
