To add to this: what you have now is likely a 20% product - something on the level of a proof of concept.

All of that connecting tissue that makes things robust can take quite a bit of work, and it's really hard to see whether it's robust or not for a while.

I wish this was an option to learn from a pro and see how they'd go through it but unfortunately I don't make the hiring decisions or control the budget.

If you can make purchases you can probably hire a consultant for a few hours so that someone can give you an informed opinion.

I don't make purchases is my point. Im an analyst. The manager makes the budget, purchases and hiring decisions, and they have determined a pro dev to not be an option. I can request that a pro be hired (and have requested additional hires have strong skills) and I do.
