Non-technical founders get scammed by bad freelance code. I built an AI Courtroom to expose it.

A massive problem in the freelance world: A founder pays $5,000 for a project. The freelancer hands over a .zip file. The founder can't read code. They have no idea if it's a well-built app or a security nightmare full of hardcoded passwords and SQL injection. Traditional linters just check for missing commas.

I spent the last week building CodeTribunal. It’s an AI system where you upload the .zip, and a full forensic trial unfolds:

1. The Evidence: A tool called GritQL scans the codebase for 17 specific "crime" patterns (secrets, eval(), bad crypto).
2. The Investigation: 8 AI agents wake up, read the evidence, and trace how the vulnerabilities connect to the actual app routes.
3. The Trial: An AI Prosecutor and Defense Attorney actually debate the code quality.
4. The Verdict: An AI Judge issues a "Guilty/Not Guilty" verdict with a reputational risk score out of 100.

It was a fun challenge to get the context handoffs right so the agents actually build on each other's arguments without losing the plot.

Here is a quick 45-second video showing how it looks in action:
