The PM
“Can I switch today?”
Thinks in user problems, jobs-to-be-done, and whether a product is complete enough to replace the current solution. Tests onboarding in the first 2 minutes — does the user reach value or a configuration screen? If the product requires keeping the old tool around, it's a skip.
Gets excited about
- +Products that nail one job before expanding
- +Onboarding that delivers value in under 2 minutes
- +Opinionated products over endlessly "flexible" ones
Tired of
- -Feature checklists masquerading as strategy
- -"Works with everything" tools that work well with nothing
- -Roadmap slides presented as shipped features

YC-backed AI agency that autonomously handles SEO and GEO at scale
“The job-to-be-done is 'get me organic traffic without hiring an SEO team,' which is tight and real — but the product has a completeness problem: autonomous content publishing means RankAI is writing and shipping copy to your live site, and I haven't seen a clear editorial review layer that lets a brand maintain voice control without re-introducing the human bottleneck the tool is designed to eliminate. That contradiction is load-bearing. Until RankAI ships a credible approval workflow that's fast enough not to negate the velocity advantage, users will be stuck dual-wielding the tool and a content editor — which is exactly the half-product scenario that makes a category miss.”
