Guides

Practical checklists before you buy engineering

Short, usable guides for performance reviews, delivery scope, and AI operations. Written for founders and operators who need a clear next step, not a whitepaper.

Start here

  • AI operations evaluation checklist

    Use this to evaluate an AI operations idea before you fund a build. It keeps the conversation on workflow, data, quality, and monitoring instead of model brand names. If you cannot describe the workflow and the failure mode, you are not ready for production automation yet.

  • Product delivery scope outline

    Use this to shape a written statement of work before you hire a squad. Clear goals, must-haves, milestones, and owners reduce rework and make weekly progress visible. Bring rough answers; perfection is not required. The outline is designed so finance, product, and engineering can argue about the same document instead of three different Slack threads.

  • Seven-day performance health-check checklist

    Use this before you ask for a performance engagement. It helps you collect the right signals, set a fair scope, and decide whether a short diagnostic is enough or you need a deeper fix program.
