    Product Strategy Sprint

    Short, hands-on engagements that end in something you can build from

    A fragile workflow, a feature direction that isn't landing, a product losing focus. We work through it together and you come out with the thinking made concrete: flows, prototypes, and a clear call on what to build next. I ship my own products, so the recommendation is always something I would build myself.

    Typically 2–4 weeks
    Why a Strategy Sprint?

    Bring clearer judgment, stronger evidence, and better workflow fit to high-stakes product decisions.

    The hardest product decisions usually sit at the intersection of trust, workflow, and evidence. The sprint is built to help teams understand what's actually happening, reduce guesswork, and make stronger decisions before investing further.

    Problem

    Product judgment is stuck

    You're deciding between several plausible directions, but the team is interpreting the problem differently.

    Outcome

    Pinpoint where the problem actually lives

    Feature, workflow, experience, or product direction.

    Problem

    The workflow seems right, but doesn't work

    When a feature makes sense in planning, but breaks down in real contexts.

    Outcome

    Identify where real-world workflows break

    So the product works for clinicians, therapists, and care teams who can't afford a product that almost works.

    Problem

    Research exists, but action still feels shaky

    Weak translation from insight to decision.

    Outcome

    Turn research into clear product decisions

    So teams move forward with evidence, not assumptions.

    Help your team see the problem more clearly. Make better decisions. Move forward with confidence. Walk away knowing what to build, what to defer, and what to drop.

    How it works

    A structured way to work through difficult product decisions

    1
    Understand

    Scope the challenge

    I clarify what needs attention, what format fits best, and what outcome would actually help the team move forward.

    2
    Evaluate

    Review the current context

    I review product flows, prototypes, research, roadmap context, and where friction is already showing up.

    3
    Decide

    Synthesize the evidence

    I identify what's working, what's unclear, where risk is building, and what deserves closer attention.

    4
    Make

    Put it into something concrete

    You leave with the direction drawn out, not just described: flows, prototypes, or a written call on what to build, what to simplify, and what to drop.
