Prototype to Product
The demo shows promise. Work out what needs to change before customers can rely on it.
What you get
- A first-release scope grounded in the customer’s workflow.
- A plan for the data, integrations, exceptions, and support the product will need.
- Hands-on prototypes and coordination across product, engineering, and go-to-market.
Why this matters
- A working demo still leaves questions about everyday use and operational support.
- Testing those questions early helps the team focus development on what customers need.

Put the working capability where people could use it.
Operations waited two days for engineering to run case evaluations through a script with no user interface.
I advocated for Slack first and built a proof-of-concept front end that became the production app’s front end during the engagement.
Production turnaround fell from two days to under ten minutes. A person retained final approval.

How I work with the delivery team
I lead the product work we agree on: understanding the workflow, setting priorities and quality criteria, building prototypes, and reviewing what happens in use. With your product and engineering leads, we define who owns implementation, integration, release, and ongoing support.
If the work needs additional development capacity, we can discuss Stravika, the two-person product and engineering studio I run with Valentina Kroshilina. We agree on that scope and ownership before starting the build.
