Built with AI.
|
CloudFirst Finish takes the Salesforce app you built with AI and gets it production-ready. You got most of the way there. Then it stalled — the tests are hollow, the security review is looming, and nobody wants to be the one who puts it in production.
CloudFirst Finish is four fixed-price offerings that take a Salesforce app — Apex, LWC, Flows — that is 20–90% built and finish it: refactored to platform patterns, tested for real, security-reviewed, documented, and deployed.
Fixed price. 5–7 business days. Fee credited if you book a Sprint or an AppExchange release within 30 days.
First three: Sonar developer survey, 2026. Fourth: Salesforce Ben, 2026.
What CloudFirst Finish finds
AI writes Apex that looks right. It reads like something a developer wrote. That is exactly the problem — the failures are structural, and they don’t surface until you hit real data volume, a real permission set, or a real security review.
// runs one query and one update per record
for (Opportunity o : Trigger.new) {
Account a = [SELECT Id, Name FROM Account
WHERE Id = :o.AccountId];
o.Description = a.Name + ' — reviewed';
update a;
}// one query, no DML in the loop, user-mode security
Set<Id> acctIds = new Set<Id>();
for (Opportunity o : Trigger.new) acctIds.add(o.AccountId);
Map<Id, Account> accts = new Map<Id, Account>([
SELECT Id, Name FROM Account
WHERE Id IN :acctIds WITH USER_MODE
]);
for (Opportunity o : Trigger.new) {
Account a = accts.get(o.AccountId);
if (a != null) o.Description = a.Name + ' — reviewed';
}A representative pattern, reduced to the smallest version that shows the failure.
The deliverable
Know your Finish Score before you know your problem. A 0–100 production-readiness rating across six dimensions. You get the number, the evidence behind every point of it, and a keep / refactor / rebuild verdict. It’s the number you repeat to your CFO, and the baseline every later release is measured against.

Pricing
Fixed scope, fixed fee, agreed before we start. Every engagement begins with a Finish Audit, because we won’t quote delivery work on an app we haven’t read.
Offering 1
$4,500
fixed — 50% at start, 50% at delivery
5–7 business days
Fee credited if you book offering 2 or 3 within 30 days.
Offering 2
$25K–$50K
typical fixed-scope engagement
4–8 weeks
From $15,000 for small, well-scoped apps. $60K–$100K for complex or multi-object builds.
Offering 3
$45K–$90K
fixed scope, full first release
8–14 weeks
From $25,000 to co-build on a partial app. $9,500 for review-and-submit only.
Offering 4
Your org, on retainer with a team that runs managed Salesforce services
$2,500/mo
custom app — $5,000/mo ISV tier
90-day minimum, then rolling
Runs like a managed service because that’s how we operate — CloudFirst Labs builds managed Salesforce operations for MSPs every day. Attaches to offering 2 or 3 after go-live.
How it runs
A sandbox or a repo. No production changes, no discovery workshop, no six-week paid assessment before anyone looks at the code.
Code Analyzer v5, the AppExchange rule selector, coverage and assertion inspection, and a manual architecture read by a Salesforce engineer — not just tool output.
The number, the evidence, the ranked remediation list, and a keep / refactor / rebuild verdict — walked through live in 45 minutes.
For the finish work, before you commit to it. If the right answer is that you don’t need us, the audit says so and we’ll tell you.
Why us
The generalist rescue shops will clean up your React app. None of them mention Apex, LWC, governor limits, managed packages or Security Review. Those are the things that actually stop a Salesforce app from shipping.
CloudFirst Labs builds CloudFirst Finish in VS Code with Claude Code, for our own products and for clients. We’re not here to tell you AI-assisted development was a mistake — we’re here because we know exactly where it leaves gaps.
Away from AI code, CloudFirst Labs builds and runs Salesforce operations for managed service providers on retainer. Finish Watch is that same discipline — named owner, SLA, monthly reporting — pointed at your app instead of theirs.
Questions
Below roughly 20% built, a finish engagement is usually the wrong purchase — you’re paying us to work around scaffolding instead of building it properly. The audit will tell you that, and a rebuild quote is often cheaper than a rescue. We’d rather say so at the audit than six weeks in.
Yes. We don’t quote fixed-price delivery on code we haven’t read, and a fixed price you can trust is the whole point. The fee is credited against the Sprint or the AppExchange release if you book within 30 days, so for most clients it nets to nothing.
It’s built as a managed service, not a ticket queue. You get one named engineer who already knows your org, SLA-backed response times, and a monthly report on the health of your app — the same operating model CloudFirst Labs uses to run Salesforce for managed service provider clients. It’s optional, month-to-month after the 90-day minimum, and most teams don’t need it if knowledge transfer from the Sprint landed well.
The review fee is set by Salesforce, not by us, and it’s charged per submission attempt. We confirm the current figure with our Partner Account Manager and put it in your quote in writing — we don’t guess at it on a web page. Budget for the calendar too: the review queue typically runs four to nine weeks on top of build time, which is why an AppExchange release is quoted at 8–14 weeks.
Sometimes, yes. Roughly speaking, if the data model is sound the code is almost always salvageable, and if the data model is wrong then refactoring on top of it is money burned. The audit gives you a keep / refactor / rebuild verdict per area rather than one verdict for the whole app, so it’s rarely all-or-nothing.
Either. On a co-build we pair with your team and hand back source control, CI/CD and documentation so they can keep going without us. Knowledge transfer is in scope on every Sprint — you should not need Finish Watch, which is why it’s optional and month-to-month.
Yes, before any access is granted. We work in your sandbox or a repo you control, and we don’t need production access to run an audit.
It’s Salesforce’s own framework for how apps on the platform should be built. For an internal app it’s good practice. For a managed package headed to AppExchange it’s close to mandatory — the same principles underpin what the Security Review looks for, so building to them from day one is what keeps a submission from bouncing.
Start with a Finish Audit
Tell us what you built, roughly how far you got, and whether it’s headed for internal use or the AppExchange. We’ll come back with whether a CloudFirst Finish Audit is the right next step — and if it isn’t, we’ll say so. Questions first? Contact CloudFirst Labs or read more on Insights.
