The system

Product Roles Framework

Comes out

A defensible call on who to hire next, and what "good" looks like at this stage

Fixed price €5,000
Timeline 4 wk
Scope cap 60 hrs

A Product Roles Framework defines what a PM, Designer, and Product Data Analyst actually do at your company — at three seniority levels, with behavioural expectations, scope limits, and the artifacts they’re accountable for. It is the input that makes hiring loops, leveling decisions, and performance conversations sane.

Most companies write a job description, hire against it, and discover at month four that the role they wrote down isn’t the role they needed. This framework reduces that gap by anchoring expectations to artifacts you already use.

What decision this drives

Who to hire next, what “good” looks like at this stage of the company, and whether an existing person is leveled correctly.
