The brief

A focused v1 that resolved a long-running strategic debate inside the team and gave the next round of customers something specific to react to.

What shipped

A clear product story, a working prototype that earned alignment in a single review, and the production v1 that followed. Strategy work shaped scope; design work shaped craft; the two stayed in the same room.

Outcome

A product the team’s customers actually love — and a strategic direction the team can defend.
