Bring us in for whatever you need, whenever you need it: an idea validated, a product audited, a backlog untangled, a roadmap defended. Billed hourly, no contract lock-in, start within days.
45 minutes, no pitch, no obligation. You'll leave with at least three honest observations about your product.
Senior PMs only - no juniors, ever
Below market rates - senior thinking, startup pricing
Hourly billing - scale up or down anytime
If any of these sound like your last leadership meeting, that's exactly the kind of problem we're built for.
Our backlog is a junk drawer nobody wants to open.→ Backlog triage & prioritization
We keep shipping, but growth is flat and nobody agrees on why.→ Full Product Audit
We can't justify a senior PM salary, but we need the thinking.→ Outsourced PM, by the hour
We're about to spend six months building. What if nobody wants it?→ Idea & opportunity validation
Investors keep asking about our market. We keep guessing.→ Demand & market research
Users sign up, poke around, and vanish. Support hears nothing.→ Design blind-spot review
Think of us as a senior product person you hire by the task, not by the year. You bring the question - we bring the evidence.
Before you invest a year of runway: is the problem real, who has it, and is it painful enough to pay for? We test the riskiest assumptions first.
You get: a validated (or honestly invalidated) opportunity map with evidence for each claim.
Market size, competitors, positioning gaps, willingness to pay. We combine data, competitor teardowns and real user interviews.
You get: a demand report: where the money is, who else is after it, and your realistic wedge.
A full outside-in review of your live product: funnels, retention, pricing, positioning. What's quietly working, what's quietly leaking.
You get: a scored audit report with prioritized fixes - quick wins first.
We walk your product like a first-time user and catch what your team can't unsee: confusing flows, missed states, friction nobody reports - they just leave.
You get: an annotated walkthrough of every gap, ranked by impact on conversion and retention.
Hourly, no fixed deliverable required - just bring us into whatever's in front of you: a backlog, a roadmap, a discovery sprint, a second opinion on a hard call.
What we deliberately don't do: development, design production, or marketing services. We stay on the product-thinking side - so our advice is never a sales funnel for a bigger contract. You take it to any team you like, including your own.
There are four ways to get senior product thinking. Here's the honest trade-off table nobody else will show you.
| ProDucked | Full-time hire | Big consultancy | Talent marketplace | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Time to start | Days | 2-4 months of hiring | Weeks of scoping | Days to weeks |
| Commitment | Hourly, cancel anytime | Salary + equity + notice period | Retainer, quarters | Contract per freelancer |
| Who does the work | The senior person you talked to | The person you hired | Junior team, partner oversight | Whoever matched |
| Independence | No upsell - we don't build | Internal politics apply | Findings feed bigger contracts | Varies by freelancer |
| Evidence-based deliverable | Scored, severity-ranked report | Depends on the hire | Slide deck | Rarely standardized |
| Best for | Focused questions, flexible support | Permanent product org | Enterprise transformation | Extra hands on execution |
Every report is backed by real research: user interviews, live data, and hands-on testing of your product.
One senior consultant owns your engagement end to end, presents the findings live, and answers your follow-up questions on the spot.
We build our view from interviews, product data, and hands-on use of your product - not a generic template applied to every client.
We interview your customers and watch them use your product. That texture is where blind spots live.
Our next contract depends on this one being right. If the evidence says your idea won't work, we'll say so.
Short, intense and honest. Most engagements finish in two to four weeks.
We use your product daily, study your data and market, and interview you - and, with your OK, your users.
We test the riskiest assumptions, tear down the funnel, and document every strength, weakness and blind spot.
You get the report and a live session where we defend every finding - and answer the uncomfortable questions.
Real excerpts from a recent audit - anonymized. This is the level of detail every engagement produces.
Page 6 of a 24-page audit - every finding is numbered, severity-tagged, and traced back to where it came from.
Hourly, on-demand product management - or a fixed-scope project when the ask is well-defined.
A senior PM by the hour, for whatever you need: backlog triage, a roadmap review, running discovery, sitting in on planning - no long-term hire required.
Best when: you need product thinking on tap without a full-time head count.
For live products: demand review, strengths and weaknesses audit, and the design blind-spot walkthrough - one complete verdict.
Best when: growth has stalled and nobody agrees on why.
For pre-launch ideas: opportunity, demand signals, competitor landscape and the riskiest assumptions - tested before you build.
Best when: you're about to invest serious time or money in a new product.
Answer honestly - we'll suggest a starting point. You can always change it on the intro call.
1. Does your product exist yet?
2. What do you need most right now?
3. How soon do you need it?
"Their research killed our 'sure thing' feature in week two. That one report saved us a full quarter of engineering time."
"The blind-spot review found a signup bug our own team had stopped noticing. Fixing it lifted activation 19% in a month."
A 45-minute call with a senior consultant - the same person who'd do the work. We'll ask hard questions, share first impressions, and tell you honestly whether we can help.
