Product Clarity Sprint
Clarity and direction when your product team hits friction.
When progress stalls
I’ve been the product strategist in startups, scale-ups, and big-ticket corporate tools. I’ve sat in the rooms. I’ve watched smart teams stall out — not because they didn’t care, or didn’t have talent, but because something essential slipped just out of reach.
The backlog got bloated. The research got buried. Every meeting became a debate over “what’s next” instead of “what’s right.” Leadership started asking for progress, and the product team started shipping to appease them. Users disengaged quietly — and no one knew exactly why.
I’ve seen designers lose confidence. Engineers push features no one asked for. Founders drown in feedback. PMs write JIRA tickets that don’t solve anything.
In our experience, it’s not because the team can’t execute. It’s because the clarity went missing.
It’s hard to read the label from inside the bottle.
What we offer
We’ve seen this often enough that we built a way to step in fast, ask the hard questions, and help get product thinking back on track. We call it the Product Clarity Sprint.
It’s not a workshop. It’s a pressure release.
Here’s what it looks like:
- One deep diagnostic call — 90 minutes, recorded, no fluff
- A short prep doc beforehand so we hit the ground running
- We walk through the product with you, surfacing friction points, misalignments, and the things no one inside the team is quite saying out loud
- You leave with 2–3 sharp, actionable priorities, not a deck full of platitudes
- Within a few days, you get a follow-up doc with specific feedback, product risks, UX notes, and strategic framing to help you make decisions that stick
Think of it as a founder-friendly audit — one that reconnects your product choices to your user’s intent, cuts through backlog inertia, and creates the kind of clarity that drives retention, not just releases.
We offer founder-friendly pricing for first-time teams — just reach out and we’ll share the details.
Sometimes we follow this with a UX audit or research sprint. But only if we know it’s the right move. No upsell. No retainer talk.

If your team’s stuck and you know it’s not a capability issue this might be the thing that breaks it open.
