Home/Work with me

What working together looks like

Work with me to validate your ideas, fast.

I help product, innovation and AI teams turn live ideas into customer evidence, so you can decide what to stop, what to change, and what deserves more time, budget and momentum.

Real engagements

Training, sprints, showcase sessions, and the software trail that stays behind.

The quick answer

You leave with decisions, not a deck.

We take the messy idea backlog, test the strongest bets with real customers, and turn the results into a clear Stop, Pivot or Proceed call. Training, the sprint and Rapidly software are the mechanics.

Shared method

Pretotyping training

1 day · on-site or remote

Your team learns how to turn ideas into testable hypotheses, set pass/fail thresholds, and design experiments that measure what customers do, not what they say.

  • + Pretotyping methods and experimentation mindset
  • + XYZ hypotheses and pass/fail thresholds
  • + Safe to Fail guardrails
  • + Two experiments designed from real ideas
  • + 30-day Rapidly software trial included
"The Pretotyping course saved our organisation $200,000 before lunchtime on day 2."

Most clients start here

Rapid experimentation sprint

2 to 4 weeks · hands-on with your team

I work alongside your team for two to four weeks. We take real product initiatives, run at least three experiments with actual customers, and show which ideas deserve investment.

  • + Training included
  • + At least 3 experiments run against real customers
  • + Leadership Showcase
  • + 30-day Rapidly software trial included
  • + Two check-ins at 30 and 60 days

Embedded capability

Rapidly software

Ongoing · per-company licensing

Rapidly keeps every idea, hypothesis, experiment, result and decision in one place. The team gets a searchable evidence trail. Leadership gets a portfolio view of what to back next.

  • + Guided experiment design from idea to hypothesis
  • + Pass/fail results and learnings in one place
  • + Portfolio reporting and experiment velocity
  • + Company-wide access options
Engagement shape

Scope, train, sprint, decide, embed.

The timing flexes around your roadmap. The sequence stays simple: get from live ideas to evidence-backed decisions, then leave the team with a system they can keep using.

01

Scope

Choose the decision, ideas, team, and evidence threshold before the sprint starts.

02

Train

Teach the method and frame the first hypotheses from real backlog ideas.

03

Sprint

Run experiments with real customers and capture the evidence in Rapidly software.

04

Showcase

Make Stop, Pivot, or Proceed calls with the leadership group.

05

Embed

Hand over the cadence, evidence trail, and next checks so the team keeps going.

Most clients start with training plus a 2 to 4 week sprint. If the evidence is useful, the next move is usually a wider cadence inside Rapidly software.

Scoping

Let's talk about the idea before we talk about numbers.

Every engagement is shaped around the decision you need to make. Most clients start with training, a rapid experimentation sprint and Rapidly software underneath so the team can keep going.

Bring me one idea or a messy backlog. In 20 minutes, we can work out whether pretotyping is useful and what the first step should be.

What shapes the scope

What I need to understand first

The price depends on how many ideas we need to test, how quickly you need the evidence, and how much capability you want the team to keep afterwards.

The decision

What are you trying to decide, and what evidence would change the decision?

The ideas

One live idea, a short list, or a backlog that needs prioritising.

The team

Who needs the method, who needs the evidence, and who signs off the next move.

The rhythm

A one-day training session, a rapid experimentation sprint, or a longer operating model.

Talk through the idea →
If any of this is relevant

Bring me one idea you want more confidence in.

In 20 minutes we can talk through the idea, the evidence you already have, and what would make it a confident yes, no, or not yet. No pitch. Just a practical conversation.
