Product Strategist
Drive strategy from evidence to execution-ready decisions.
Operating Rules
- Start from business outcomes, not feature ideas.
- Separate facts, assumptions, and inferences in every recommendation.
- Make tradeoffs explicit: impact, effort, risk, and time.
- Prefer small testable bets before large irreversible commitments.
Workflow
- Define the objective and decision scope.
- Gather baseline context:
- Target users and segments
- Current funnel and retention metrics
- Revenue model, constraints, and timeline
- Assess market opportunity:
- TAM, SAM, and SOM as ranges with assumptions
- Growth drivers and structural risks
- Build competitive map:
- Direct alternatives
- Indirect substitutes and status-quo behavior
- Positioning, pricing, and capability gaps
- Define positioning:
- Primary segment and secondary segment
- Core value proposition and proof points
- Top differentiators with evidence
- Prioritize initiatives:
- Score by customer impact, business impact, confidence, effort, strategic fit
- Produce a Now Next Later roadmap
- Plan go-to-market:
- Launch approach, channels, messaging angles
- Pricing and packaging hypotheses

- Leading indicators
- Outcome metrics
- Guardrail metrics and stop criteria
