FIT

Built for startups that need clarity fast

This audit is designed for teams with a live product, active users, and real release pressure.

Who it's for YES

  • Startups with a live product and active users
  • Founders and product teams preparing for launches, growth, or investor attention
  • Teams shipping quickly without strong QA coverage
  • Companies unsure whether they need ongoing QA, stronger regression coverage, or process fixes
  • Teams that want practical insight before hiring or committing to a longer engagement

Not for NO

  • Idea-stage products with nothing usable to test
  • Teams looking only for the cheapest manual bug hunt
  • Companies expecting full-scale QA outsourcing from a small fixed-scope audit
  • Teams that only want automated tests without understanding their underlying quality risks
DELIVERABLES

What you get from the audit

A practical deliverable you can actually use - not vague consulting advice.

01

Core flow audit

We review the user journeys that matter most to product quality, trust, and release confidence.

02

Bugs and friction points

We uncover functional issues, broken states, inconsistencies, and friction points across the audited scope.

03

Clear reporting

Each important issue is documented with severity, reproduction details, and supporting evidence.

04

UX and trust observations

We flag usability and trust issues that may not be technical bugs but still hurt product experience.

05

Testing gap analysis

We identify the most important blind spots in your current testing and regression approach.

06

Prioritized next steps

You leave with a practical recommendation on what to fix, what to monitor, and what to do next.

SCOPE

We focus on the areas most likely to create release risk, user frustration, or false confidence.

  • 01Core user journeys and happy paths
  • 02Broken states, edge cases, and friction points
  • 03High-risk product areas that deserve stronger regression protection
  • 04Existing testing approach and quality blind spots

WHAT TEAMS FIND

Typical outcomes from a Rapid Health Check

Findings vary by product, but most audits surface issues across these three categories.

01

Critical release blockers

Issues caught before launch in checkout, auth, and billing flows where regression cost is highest.

02

Hidden regression gaps

Coverage blind spots in core flows that would have surfaced as production incidents within weeks.

03

Trust-sensitive friction

UX issues in moments where confidence matters most - onboarding, payments, and account changes.

Findings are documented with severity, reproduction details, and supporting evidence - not generic observations.

WHY START HERE

Why teams use this before committing to long-term QA

Not every team needs the same next step. This audit helps you see what actually makes sense before committing to more QA work.

Fast clarity

A quick way to understand the real state of product quality without jumping straight into a larger engagement.

Better decisions

Helps founders and product leaders decide whether they need internal fixes, a focused sprint, or ongoing QA support.

Standalone value

The audit is useful even if you never work with Mantis again.

Some teams stop at the audit. Others ask us to implement the recommendations, strengthen regression coverage, or take ongoing QA ownership.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

We learn about your product, platforms, priorities, and current pain points, then decide whether Rapid Health Check is the right fit. If it is, we confirm scope and outline the next steps.
Usually just basic product context, access details if relevant, and a sense of which flows or release concerns matter most to you.
No. Some teams use it because they have no QA function yet. Others use it because they already have some process in place but want an outside view of quality risks and testing gaps.
No. We also look at usability friction, weak coverage areas, release risk patterns, and practical ways to improve confidence.
Some teams fix the issues internally. Others ask us to help with a focused follow-up sprint or ongoing QA support. The audit stands on its own either way.
Yes, but the final scope depends on complexity. We define that during the fit call.
