Tech & Team Deep Dive

One strategic sprint to align your product vision, tech direction, and team plan.

Founders often feel stuck between vision and execution. You've got the idea — maybe even a prototype or team — but you're not fully confident about:

  • What to build next
  • Whether your tech setup can scale
  • How to structure your team for success
  • Where the biggest delivery risks are hiding

This deep dive is designed to fix that.

In 1–2 weeks, we map your current reality, uncover gaps, and give you a solid foundation to build — or scale — with confidence.

Without a strategic technical assessment, founders often spend months heading in the wrong direction, hire the wrong people, accumulate expensive technical debt, or miss critical market opportunities while struggling with technical challenges.

Who This Is For

  • Founders preparing to build or scale their MVP
  • Startups working with freelancers or contractors
  • Product owners struggling to bridge strategy and execution
  • Early teams about to hire or raise funds

What You'll Get

Depending on your tier, this package may include:

Product Analysis

Product discovery session to align vision, audience, and goals—ensuring you're building the right thing.

Tech Evaluation

Tech stack evaluation to ensure you're using the right tools for your roadmap, plus codebase or prototype audit where applicable.

Team Structure

Team & roles analysis using RACI principles, plus workflow and delivery process review to identify bottlenecks.

Strategic Roadmap

Hiring/outsourcing plan with prioritized roles, actionable 3-6 month roadmap, and prioritized risks and recommendations.

Your Final Deliverable

You'll receive a comprehensive, executive-friendly report that includes:

  • Clear assessment of your current state
  • Prioritized recommendations with concrete next steps
  • 3-6 month actionable roadmap you can implement immediately

Why This Matters

This isn't a surface-level brainstorm. It's a structured, hands-on sprint designed to turn confusion into clarity — and friction into flow.

Why This Approach Works Better

vs. Figuring It Out Yourself

Skip months of research and uncertainty. Get CTO-level expertise immediately without the learning curve.

vs. Hiring Consultants

No lengthy engagements or abstract theories. Just practical, actionable guidance from someone who's built and scaled startups.

vs. Asking Advisors

Move beyond fragmented advice to get a comprehensive, structured plan that addresses product, tech, and team holistically.

You'll walk away with:

  • Strategic alignment across product, tech, and team
  • A realistic plan tailored to your goals and constraints
  • Confidence that you're building the right thing — the right way
  • CTO-level thinking, even if you don't have one on the team
