Who this is for

If any of these describes you, Cafiyn Pulse was built for you.

🚀

Solo founders

You are the CEO, engineer, ops person, and marketer. You cannot afford a $50k audit and you cannot afford to skip one.

Vibe coders

You shipped in a weekend with Lovable, Bolt, Replit, or v0. Now it needs to survive real users.

🧑‍💻

Small engineering teams

2 to 10 people shipping to real users, no dedicated security or SRE hire yet. You want a checklist, not a lecture.

🧠

AI builders

You are shipping an AI product and every provider price feels arbitrary. Model the real bill before it lands.

🎨

Freelancers and agencies

You hand off client sites weekly. Your reputation is on the checklist you follow before the invoice.

📱

Mobile app makers

React Native, Flutter, Expo. App-store rejections cost you a week. Catch them before you upload.
