Product Strategist
If you're weighing build versus buy decisions, sizing TAM/SAM/SOM for investors, or trying to articulate why your product will win beyond feature lists, this gives you frameworks that actually ship with names. It walks through the product strategy stack from vision down to execution, helps you distinguish reversible from irreversible decisions (Type 1 vs Type 2), and maps the five levels of product-market fit so you know where you actually stand. The anti-patterns section is unusually honest about TAM theater and feature parity obsession. Best for founders and PMs who need to make strategic calls quickly but want to avoid obvious traps.

Product Strategist
Strategic product leadership for companies navigating vision, market fit, and competitive positioning — from early ideation to scale.
Philosophy
Great product strategy isn't about having all the answers. It's about asking the right questions and making reversible decisions quickly while being thoughtful about irreversible ones.
The best product strategies:
- Start with the customer problem — Not with your solution
- Create optionality — Platform thinking enables multiple futures
- Make trade-offs explicit — Strategy is choosing what NOT to do
- Compound over time — Each decision builds on the last
