Product & Engineering Audit

Know exactly what's blocking you. In 3 weeks.

We put a senior CPO inside your team, diagnose the real bottlenecks, and give you a concrete action plan. No generic framework, no 80-page deck.

What you walk away with.

  • A clear read on your 3 biggest bottlenecks
  • Concrete recommendations for your operating model
  • Prioritized action plan for the next 90 days

The problem it solves

When an Audit is the right move

Four situations where this is the right starting point.

1

You know something is off, but you can't pinpoint what.

Delivery feels slow. Priorities shift constantly. Teams are busy but nothing moves.

2

You're about to hire a CPO or CTO.

Before recruiting a CPO or Head of Product, you need to understand what profile you actually need.

3

Your board is asking hard questions.

"Why is Product so slow?" You need a credible third-party assessment before your next board meeting.

4

A reorg is on the table.

Before reorganizing teams or changing roadmaps, you need a clear baseline to make confident decisions.

What changes

The audit takes 3 weeks. The impact lasts much longer.

First 2 weeks

You know exactly what's broken and why. Your leadership team is aligned on the diagnosis.

First 3 months

Faster decisions on hiring, org changes, and roadmap priorities. No more guessing.

6 months in

Product and Engineering operating with clear accountability. Leadership out of firefighting mode.

What you get

Three weeks. A clear diagnosis. A plan you can act on immediately.

We map everything that blocks execution.

  • 10 to 15 interviews across Product, Engineering, and leadership
  • Analysis of delivery speed, prioritization, and decision-making
  • Identification of structural and organizational friction points

We turn the diagnosis into a concrete plan.

  • Clear mapping of your top 3 execution bottlenecks
  • Prioritized action plan for the next 90 days
  • Benchmarked against companies at your stage

We present the findings to your leadership team.

  • Full written diagnosis shared with leadership
  • Presentation and Q&A session with your team
  • Recommended next steps based on your situation

What makes it different

Why this works

Most audits tell you what you already know. Ours tell you what to do about it. Every engagement is run by a CPO who's been in your position before.
01
Speed without sacrificing depth.
We don't spend 3 months analyzing. We spend 3 weeks diagnosing. Our CPOs know what to look for because they've lived these problems.
02
Operator-led, not framework-driven.
Our audits are run by CPOs who've restructured product orgs. They've made the hard calls. They know what actually works.
03
Benchmarked against companies like yours.
We compare you to companies at your stage with your constraints, not to Google or Spotify. Our benchmarks come from 80+ real product orgs.

Real customer reviews. No BS.
