AI Product Sprint
Ship a working AI product in 14 days so you can make a clear call on your next $500k AI bet.
I help $5M–$75M+ companies de-risk big AI bets with 2-week Sprints. Almost everyone starts with a $2.5k AI Diagnostic so we only sprint on the bets worth sprinting on.

How we work together
Step 1
Quick triage call
20–30 minutes, free. Are we a fit, and is there a real $500k+ bet?
Step 2
AI Diagnostic
$2.5k. Pressure-test the bet, define a tight 14-day scope, and build a simple value model so you know whether a Sprint makes sense.
Step 3
2-Week AI Product Sprint
$40k. Ship a working product you can test internally and with friendly customers, then decide: double down or kill it.
Important: If we decide to Sprint, 100% of your $2.5k Diagnostic fee is credited toward your Sprint when you start within 30 days.
The problem
You have a big AI bet. You’re stuck between “go big” and “do nothing.” You don’t want to spend $250k–$500k and 6 months to find out if it’s real.
- You have a high-upside AI product idea stuck behind an overloaded dev team
- You’re nervous about burning $250k–$500k on an AI initiative without a real test
- You don’t have a single owner who can think like CTO + CEO + builder and just ship
Who this is for
CEOs, GMs, or COOs at mid-market tech, media, or agency companies (or business units inside larger groups) with $5M–$75M+ ARR who:
- Control the budget for a specific $500k+ AI or SaaS bet
- Know their market cold, but haven’t shipped much SaaS themselves
- Want to test before they commit, not after
What you get in 14 days
In 14 days, you get a working AI-powered product plus everything you need to decide if this bet is worth real money:
- A working AI-powered product you can test internally and with friendly customers (not yet hardened for full production)
- Code structured so your team can extend it or throw it away (we decide which in scoping)
- Docs + Loom walkthrough for your team
- A simple rollout + measurement plan so you can prove or kill the bet fast
- An honest backlog of what’s left if you decide to harden and scale
Inside the Sprint
Day 0
Scoping
2–4 hour deep-dive to define the single outcome, constraints, and success metric. We agree in writing what is in and out of scope.
Week 1
Build
I architect, build, and integrate. You get async demos/check-ins; minimal meetings.
Week 2
Refine & handoff
Testing, polish, deployment, docs, Looms, and handoff.
What happens after
- Kill it — You spent $40k instead of $500k to learn this bet wasn’t worth building. Budget redeployed to better opportunities.
- Double down & scale — Run additional Sprints to take the product from staging to production, or hand off to your team with a clear roadmap.
- Team upskill — Your team takes over with docs, Looms, and a codebase built to be understood, not just to work.
How I build
AI-assisted, not “vibe-coded”
- Standard, boring stack (TypeScript, Next.js, Postgres, etc.) so your team isn’t stuck with weird tech
- In scoping we decide whether this is a validation v1 (disposable) or a foundation v1 (meant to be extended), and I architect to that
- AI is used as a power tool to speed up well-understood engineering work (scaffolding, refactors, tests), not to blindly generate systems
Result: a light, well-structured codebase with clear seams, so your team can iterate or replace pieces without being trapped in my head.
Investment & terms
- AI Diagnostic: $2.5k — pressure-test your bet, define scope, build a value model.
- 2-Week AI Product Sprint: $40k — fixed fee, 50% on signing, 50% before final handoff.
- Scope is locked to the agreed brief. Any new ideas: “We can either swap that in for something not started yet, or add another 2-week Sprint at the same rate. Which do you prefer?”
- 14 days of post-Sprint bugfix support included.
- If you start a Sprint within 30 days, your Diagnostic fee is fully credited.
You’re not buying code. You’re buying speed, judgment, and single-threaded ownership: one person doing what normally takes a PM, architect, lead engineer, and a month of meetings.

Start with an AI Diagnostic
Most engagements begin here. In a focused diagnostic, we’ll pressure-test your AI bet, define what a Sprint would look like, and build a simple value model—so you only Sprint on bets worth sprinting on.
If I don’t think we can de-risk a real $500k+ AI bet, I’ll tell you. A high success rate matters more to me than adding another logo.
