01 / Approach
A product is a connected system
Start with the market. Understand the person. Make the smallest useful bet, then learn from what happens
Decisions that move a product forward
01
Where is there room to create value?
Understand alternatives, demand and constraints before committing to a solution. A market is a context for decisions, not just a market-size slide
02
Who needs this most?
Identify a specific audience, its situation and the progress it wants to make. Speak with people and observe how they solve the problem today
03
What is worth solving?
Separate a recurring, meaningful problem from an interesting feature request. Clarify the cost of leaving it unresolved
04
Why this product, for this audience?
Make choices about positioning, differentiation and priorities. Define what the product will do, and which trade-offs it accepts
05
What is the smallest useful test?
Build enough of the experience to test the riskiest assumption. Define the evidence that would justify the next investment
06
How will the right people find it?
Connect the ideal customer, the offer, the message and the distribution channel. Plan a launch that can produce useful learning
07
What would progress look like?
Define customer value, a North Star Metric and the inputs behind it. Measure behavior that supports a decision
08
Can the value sustain the business?
Connect monetization with acquisition cost, retention and contribution. Treat CAC and LTV as context-dependent measures, not isolated targets
09
What should change next?
Use research and product behavior to choose the next experiment. Compare the result with the original hypothesis and update the direction
10
What deserves to scale?
Expand what creates repeatable customer value with sound economics. Keep acquisition, activation, retention and monetization connected
Evidence informs the next decision. The loop continues
02 / Capabilities
From the right question to the next move
Discovery & validation
Customer problems, research, hypotheses and evidence before a larger commitment
MVP definition
The smallest coherent experience capable of testing the important assumptions
Product development
Translate strategy into requirements, a clear scope, execution and launch
Product marketing
Connect product value with audience needs, positioning and communication
Go-to-market
Ideal customer profile, offer, launch strategy, distribution and initial acquisition
03 / Product measurement
Measure what moves the product forward
A North Star Metric connects customer value to product progress. Supporting metrics help explain why it changes — and where to act
Business outcomes depend on retention, monetization and the cost of delivering value. A single metric never tells the whole story
North Star MetricMeaningful value delivered to customers
Acquisition
Are we reaching people with the problem this product solves? Evaluate audience fit alongside channel performance
Activation
How quickly do people experience the first meaningful value? Define a value moment, not just a registration
Engagement
Does use reflect real value? Consider the depth and frequency of meaningful actions in the product’s natural usage cycle
Retention
Do people return for the core value? Cohorts and repeat behavior help separate durable value from initial curiosity
Monetization
Does willingness to pay support the cost of delivering value? Revenue needs the context of retention, costs and contribution

05 / Working principles
Clarity before complexity
Start with the problem
A clear customer problem gives every product decision a useful reference point
Make assumptions visible
Separate what is known, what is believed and what still needs to be tested
Test before scaling
Useful progress changes our understanding as well as the product itself
The person behind the studio
I work across product strategy and product marketing: market and customer research, positioning, go-to-market and monetization. I help businesses understand what holds a product back and turn that insight into priorities for launch, acquisition and growth
