The path
From first call to an agreed plan, in 20 days.
The exact timing depends on your and your team’s availability. The scope stays fixed.
- Before we startA free 30-minute fit callWe talk about your situation and goals. If the Product Health Check isn’t the right fit, I’ll tell you. If it is, we agree the scope and sign the contract and NDA.
- Phase 1 · Week 1ListenI review your strategy, goals and key documents, and interview 4–6 people from leadership and management.Outcome: the full picture, as your leadership sees it.
- Phase 2 · Weeks 1–2Look deeperA team survey and conversations with the team. I look at how work really happens: workflows, decisions, measurement and AI use.Outcome: the gap between how work is described and how it actually happens.
- Phase 3 · Weeks 2–3DecideI connect the findings across the three checks, write the report and the 90-day roadmap, and we walk through it in a leadership readout.Outcome: agreed priorities and a plan your team can start on right away.
After the Product Health Check, it’s your choice. Run the roadmap yourselves, or get my support with implementing it. Follow-up work is scoped separately. No obligation.
Is it for you?
Don’t wait for the symptoms.
Products and teams are being rewritten almost month by month. You don’t need a crisis to check where you stand.
Something feels off.
Three months ago it all worked. Now there’s friction: decisions slow down, priorities blur, or AI tools don’t deliver what they promised.
All good, but the ground is moving.
Nothing is broken, but how products get built is changing fast, and you want to know you’re ready for what’s next.
Growth has gone flat.
Revenue isn’t moving, and it’s not clear whether the cause is the strategy, the way you work or the team.
Made for CEOs, founders, and product and engineering leaders at healthcare and education companies: healthtech and edtech SaaS, digital health products, learning platforms, and management systems for clinics, schools and other institutions.
What I look at
Three checks, done together.
A sound strategy can fail without the operations to deliver it. Good processes can stall in a culture with low trust. A great culture can lack a clear link to business outcomes. The problem rarely sits in one layer. It lives in between.
01 · Direction Check
Are we building the right things?
Product vision, strategic bets and priorities, how assumptions get tested, and whether the strategy really supports your business and revenue goals.
You’ll know: which bets are worth keeping, and which ones you should drop.
02 · Execution Check
How does strategy become results?
Your operating model, workflows, how outcomes are measured, how decisions and ownership work, and where AI genuinely helps.
You’ll know: where work gets stuck between strategy and delivery.
03 · People Check
Can people do their best work?
Trust, ownership, psychological safety, flexibility, growth, and whether people are treated as partners in the business.
You’ll know: whether your culture is fuelling your strategy or working against it.
AI across all three
AI speeds up some parts of product work and slows down others: fixes, iteration and testing often take longer. Many teams adopted AI for the sake of AI. I look at where it truly helps in your strategy, your workflows and your team. Automate the task. Keep the judgment.

She moved us from shipping features to delivering outcomes, gave teams real problems to solve instead of solutions to build.
As an engineer and an engineering leader I have never worked with a better product person than Patrycja and I’ve worked with many.

Questions
Before we talk
How much of my team’s time will it take?
About 9–10 hours in total: the leadership interviews and team conversations with me, spread across the 20 days.
Is it remote?
Yes. Everything happens remotely.
What about confidentiality?
We sign an NDA together with the contract, before I see any of your documents.
What happens after the Product Health Check?
You get a report and a 90-day roadmap your team can act on. If you’d like support with implementing it, we can scope that separately. There’s no obligation.
Do you implement the changes or build AI agents?
The Product Health Check is a diagnosis and a plan, not an implementation project. I don’t build or deploy AI agents. I help you see where AI really adds value in how you build products.
What if the Product Health Check isn’t right for us?
That’s what the free 30-minute call is for. If it isn’t the right fit, I’ll tell you.
Why does it take 20 days?
The scope is fixed. The timing depends on how quickly we can schedule interviews with your leadership, managers and team.
