>AI Product Innovation & Commercial Strategy
Turn your expertise, product capabilities, or proprietary content into AI offers customers will actually use and pay for.
>The Problem
The board wants AI in the product, investors are asking about the AI roadmap, and the product team is shipping AI features—but the unit economics do not work and NRR is not moving. Per-seat pricing was designed for a world where value was static and predictable; AI features create dynamic, compounding value that per-seat pricing actively discourages customers from capturing. Meanwhile, the data flywheel that would create a genuine moat needs to be designed from day one, not retrofitted after the fact.
>Our Approach
We work across product strategy, pricing, and solution design to identify the AI offer that should exist first. That can mean a buyer-facing copilot, a wrapped expert experience, a prototype built around proprietary content, or a new workflow inside the product. We help shape the offer, test it with the right customers, and connect it to a commercial model that can scale.
Commercial Model Diagnosis
We analyze your current pricing architecture, customer value data, and NRR cohorts to identify exactly where AI features are creating value that the commercial model is failing to capture.
AI Product Portfolio Design
We co-design the AI product roadmap with your CPO and key customers, prioritizing features that create measurable, recurring value and that anchor the new pricing architecture.
Pricing Transition Architecture
We design the transition from per-seat to hybrid or usage-based pricing, including the packaging, migration path for existing customers, and the sales motion for new business.
Data Flywheel & Board Metrics
We architect the data network effect that compounds AI value over time and deploy the board-ready metrics dashboard that makes the AI revenue story visible and defensible.
