What do I get?
A clickable prototype of your product’s new zero-friction first-time experience — real screens, real flows, demo-ready. Plus a 90-day roadmap. Not a slide deck. An actual prototype.
Who runs the sprint?
A certified ProductLed Implementer trained by Wes Bush in the methodology behind $1B+ in self-serve revenue across 434+ SaaS companies. They won’t know your industry as deeply as you do — that’s the advantage.
We’re sales-led. Will this work?
This is often the biggest unlock. If a buyer waits 7 to 9 days for a sales call before seeing value, that’s your time-to-value. Illumend used this sprint to go from enterprise-only to self-serve and shipped a new tier in 3 weeks.
We’ve already added AI to our product. Why do this?
Adding an AI feature doesn’t rebuild the path to value. Most products that “added AI” just put a generate button in the same flow. The sprint is about restructuring the first-time experience around AI doing the work — a different problem than shipping a feature.
We’re already optimizing activation. Why do this?
Optimization gets you 10%. A rebuild could get your users to value 10x faster by completely changing the workflow.
What if the prototype isn’t good?
We iterate until it ships. If you don’t believe it’ll transform your first-time experience after Day 5, full refund. You keep everything.
How is this different from a consultant?
A consultant hands you a strategy doc. We hand you a working prototype.
How do I know which tier is right?
Pick based on ARR. Under $2M → Starter. $2M–$10M → Growth. Over $10M → Scale.
Aren’t we aligned on what first value actually is?
Most teams aren’t — so they onboard users on everything. Every feature, workflow, use case. When the definition is fuzzy, the onboarding gets stuffed with everything. The sprint forces you to have — and resolve — this conversation as a company.
Why can’t our team do this ourselves?
Every step in your onboarding exists because someone fought for it. The hardest calls aren’t technical — they’re political. Killing a screen a PM spent six months building. Removing a field a sales leader insisted on. An outside team with a methodology finds it easy.
Can’t we just describe the new vision in a PRD?
You can describe zero friction to value in a meeting. Sketch it on a whiteboard. Write the PRD. It won’t land. Seeing is believing — activation projects die because nothing makes the vision real enough. A clickable prototype is the artifact that gets the whole team bought in.
