You know something needs to be built — but the order isn't clear, the scope keeps shifting,
and teams aren't aligned on what matters most. Roadmaps look like feature lists instead of
strategic plans. Stakeholders pull in different directions. NPG turns ambiguity into a
documented strategy that teams can execute against.
Who It's For
Founders moving from 0→1, scaling startups rebooting their product approach,
enterprise teams launching new products or entering new markets.
What's Included
- Product vision and narrative development
- Capability-based roadmap with sequencing rationale
- MVP scope definition and tradeoff analysis
- Competitive positioning and market segmentation
- Stakeholder-ready presentation and talking points
Outcomes
A documented product strategy, prioritized roadmap with clear rationale,
and an aligned narrative you can present to stakeholders, investors, or your team.
Typical Scope
2–4 weeks · Structured sprint with defined deliverables
The product is ready — or close — but you're not confident who to sell to, how to position
against competitors, or how to structure the early sales motion. You need ICP clarity, a
sharp message, and a launch plan that isn't just a press release.
Who It's For
Early-stage teams preparing to launch, established products entering new markets,
companies repositioning after finding product-market fit signals.
What's Included
- ICP definition and validation framework
- Competitive landscape and differentiation map
- Messaging hierarchy and positioning narrative
- Alpha/beta program design and feedback synthesis
- Launch readiness checklist and channel strategy
Outcomes
Defined ICP, validated positioning and messaging, a launch plan with sequenced
activities, and a framework for reading early market signals.
Typical Scope
2–3 weeks · Can follow a Strategy & Roadmap engagement
You need senior product judgment in the seat — to lead a team, own a roadmap, or guide a
critical initiative — but a full-time CPO or VP Product isn't the right hire yet. The wrong
early hire sets you back; the right partner accelerates you.
Who It's For
Startups scaling past PMF that need product leadership structure, companies between
product leaders, and founders who need executive-level product thinking without
the full-time overhead.
What's Included
- Ongoing strategic advisory (weekly cadence)
- Roadmap ownership and prioritization leadership
- PM team mentorship and process coaching
- Cross-functional and stakeholder management
- Board and investor product narrative support
Outcomes
Steady product direction, team capability growth, investor-ready narrative,
and the organizational muscle to eventually hire a permanent product leader.
Typical Scope
3–12 months · Ongoing monthly retainer
Everyone is adding AI. Most teams don't know where it actually creates defensible value,
how to scope it responsibly, or how to take it from an impressive demo to production.
NPG has shipped a real enterprise GenAI workflow at Visa — not a POC. We know the
difference between AI that matters and AI that ships once and gets deleted.
Who It's For
Product teams evaluating where AI fits, founders building AI-first products,
and enterprises adding GenAI capabilities to existing platforms.
What's Included
- AI use-case prioritization and value mapping
- Feature design, PRD, and success metrics
- Human-in-the-loop UX patterns and safeguards
- PII-safe architecture and data governance guidance
- Production readiness and eval framework review
Outcomes
Scoped AI feature(s) with clear success metrics, a responsible deployment
framework, and documentation that supports engineering, legal, and executive alignment.
Typical Scope
3–8 weeks · Varies by feature complexity
Your team ships, but cycles are long, rework is high, and the AI tools you've adopted
aren't making a measurable dent. The problem usually isn't the tools — it's the process
they're dropped into. NPG audits your current state and tells you what to fix and in
what order, with AI integration built into the recommendations.
Who It's For
Scaling product teams with process debt, companies that have adopted AI tools
without a coherent strategy, and teams struggling with velocity and quality tradeoffs.
What's Included
- Discovery interviews with product, engineering, design
- Current-state workflow mapping and friction diagnosis
- AI tool audit and integration gap analysis
- Prioritized improvement recommendations
- 30/60/90-day implementation roadmap
Outcomes
A documented assessment report with prioritized recommendations, a concrete
AI workflow integration plan, and quick wins you can act on immediately.
Typical Scope
2–3 weeks · Deliverable-based engagement
Your team has strong executors but lacks strategic product thinking. PMs write tickets
rather than shape vision. Engineers want to move fast but don't understand tradeoffs.
Leadership talks strategy but the team still operates in feature-factory mode. A shared
vocabulary and durable frameworks close this gap faster than hiring alone.
Who It's For
Engineering-led teams adding product discipline, companies upskilling PM teams,
and leadership who want product fluency across the organization.
What's Included
- Custom curriculum design and facilitation
- Workshop sessions (remote or in-person)
- Practical frameworks tailored to your context
- Coaching sessions for PMs and team leads
- Follow-up Q&A and implementation support
Outcomes
Improved strategic product thinking at team level, a shared vocabulary for
prioritization and tradeoffs, and frameworks your team continues to use
after the engagement ends.
Typical Scope
1 day – 6 weeks · Modular, scoped to team size and depth
