"Sarmkadan Labs didn't just find bugs; they understood the intent behind our product. It felt less like a standard QA sweep and more like a high-end editorial review of our software."
Marta K. - CTO at Helix
The QA gap, quantified

The QA gap is wider than you think.

LLM-assisted development is accelerating code generation, but expanding the surface area for bugs exponentially. Traditional testing teams can't scale fast enough to catch what machines write.

73%

Increase in production-level bugs in SaaS platforms utilizing AI-generated boilerplate code.

€3,900

Average organizational cost per hotfix pushed to production due to missed edge cases.

11 days

Average time to detect silent data-corruption issues in complex microservice architectures.

1 in 3

LLM-authored endpoint authorization checks contain critical logical flaws requiring manual review.

How it works

The Sarmkadan Method, in 5 steps.

Fixed scope, predictable outcomes. We follow a rigorous, deterministic process to uncover vulnerabilities before they become liabilities.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Map your product landscape and identify critical user journeys.

  2. 02

    Map surface

    Enumerate all potential interaction seams and data entry points.

  3. 03

    Probe

    Break it, systematically. Apply combinatorial testing methodologies.

  4. 04

    Report

    Deliver an actionable backlog with precise reproduction steps.

  5. 05

    Verify fix

Helix

Fintech Core Architecture

-91%
P1 bugs in prod

Identified and isolated critical race conditions in the ledger sync protocol before Series B launch.

Read case

Context (anonymized): Series-B fintech, core ledger written with heavy LLM assistance. Two reconciliation services racing on the same rows.

Findings: 14 P1 issues including a double-credit path triggered by retry-after-timeout, and silent drift in nightly reconciliation.

Outcome: 91% reduction in P1 incidents across the 60 days following hand-off.

Orbital

Supply Chain SaaS

340->80ms
Time to interactive

Re-architected client-side rendering pipeline, eliminating main thread blocking on complex grid loads.

Read case

Context (anonymized): B2B logistics platform serving 40k SKUs per tenant. Grid view was effectively unusable at scale.

Findings: 11 perf bottlenecks ranging from unmemoized React children to a quadratic reducer on each keystroke.

Outcome: TTI improved from 340ms to 80ms at the 95th percentile.

Toniq

Health Data API

Zero
Security findings

Passed external Big 4 penetration test with zero critical or high vulnerabilities post-audit.

Read case

Context (anonymized): Health data API preparing for HIPAA and ISO 27001 review. AI-assisted auth layer.

Findings: 9 issues including an IDOR in the patient-record endpoint and JWT scope check that trusted client claims.

Outcome: Big-4 pentest two months later returned zero criticals, zero highs.

The artisans

Small team,
high standards.

We are not a massive agency. We are a boutique collective of senior QA engineers and test architects based in Tallinn, Estonia. We don't offshore your tests; we write them ourselves, execute them ourselves, and hand them to you.

Our methodology pairs rigorous automated regression suites with deep, manual exploratory testing. True QA requires intuition - the ability to look at an AI-authored system and anticipate where it will break under pressure.

Questions

Before you book.

Do you work with pre-launch MVPs or only mature products?
Both. Spot Audit is popular with pre-launch teams who want a senior set of eyes before turning the traffic on. For scale-ups, Continuous QA tends to fit better.
What exactly is delivered at the end of an audit?
A written report (executive summary + technical deep-dive), a prioritized ticket list with reproduction steps importable into Jira or Linear, a hand-off call with your engineers, and - where agreed - a regression suite you keep running after we leave.
Do you accept cryptocurrency?
Yes - USDT and USDC on default networks (TRC20, ERC20). Crypto payments get a flat 20% discount across all tiers. Invoiced normally; we provide standard EU-format invoice with crypto receipt attached.
How fast can you start?
Spot Audit engagements typically start within 5 business days. Launch-Ready scopes take a brief scoping call first, usually starting within 10 days. Enterprise is sequenced per contract.
Do you sign an NDA and DPA?
Yes, always. Mutual NDA by default. GDPR-compliant DPA available. We are an Estonian OÜ - invoices are EU-VAT compliant.
Why "AI-built SaaS" specifically?
LLM-assisted codebases have a distinct failure profile: plausible-looking auth checks that miss edge cases, boilerplate that drifts across modules, and tests that pass but don't actually assert what they claim. Our playbook is tuned for that surface.
Is the sample report really free?
Yes. Download a redacted sample to see our depth before you commit to a paid engagement.

Ship boring,
confident releases.

Audits. Tests. Bugs documented with reproduction steps. Hand you a regression suite, walk away. Stop gambling your release window on what AI wrote.
