Summary
A service called Slopfix offers to refactor and clean up AI-generated ("vibecoded") codebases that have become unmaintainable. They provide free analysis, fixed pricing with committed reduction targets (e.g., 100K lines to 35K), and one week of focused work by senior engineers to make the codebase maintainable again.

If we can, you get a fixed price and a committed reduction target — something like '100,000 lines down to 35,000, same functionality.'
