Product fit call
Bring the product problem. Ian will spend 30 minutes sorting fit, next steps, and whether Edgecaser should be involved.
No generic sales demo. You will talk with Ian Brillembourg about what is stuck, which scope fits the problem, and what a useful first 2 to 4 weeks should prove. A good fit call should make the next decision easier, even when the answer is no.
Fit check
Bring a real product decision. The call is for sorting what shape of product help fits the pressure now.
Book when there is an active product call to make, not a loose intro. In 30 minutes, Ian Brillembourg will pressure-test the problem, sort the likely engagement model, and sketch what the first 2 to 4 weeks should prove.
Skip the calendar if the ask is pure design staff augmentation, production-only UX help, implementation with no product decision authority, or specialist advice that belongs to legal, security, privacy, or compliance owners.
Pricing stays at the engagement-model level in v1. Expect a directional fit discussion, such as fractional, sprint-based, review-based, process-focused, implementation-guidance, or advisory. Hourly rates and exact ranges are not published here.
Every engagement includes lifetime access to Shipwright Plus, the private premium version of the open-source Shipwright PM toolkit. Shipwright Plus adds a cross-model conflict harness for high-stakes product decisions, with an optional 30-minute setup call and one year of email support.
Before you book
Bring the messy context if it helps: product goals, notes, artifacts, pressure points. Public materials stay limited to facts you have approved.
Private roadmaps, dashboards, datasets, PHI, confidential product artifacts, and client screenshots stay out of public materials unless you choose otherwise.
Working material belongs in the working room. It is not raw copy for the public site.
If you share product goals, roadmap notes, or other artifacts for the call, they are used to pinpoint the product decision pressure.
The next step is a recommended fractional, sprint, or advisory scope. Most work starts with a 2 to 4 week plan.
The fit call can use messy working material without turning it into public proof.
Book the call
Book 30 minutes with Ian Brillembourg. Bring the product problem, not the polished sales-deck version of it.
The agenda stays practical. We pin down the product problem first. If there is a fit, the call should make one thing clear: whether this needs fractional product leadership, an AI product sprint, or advisory support, plus what the first 2 to 4 weeks should actually produce.
Calendly asks for five fields: name, email, company, role, and a short description of the product problem or engagement need. Keep sensitive material out of the form. That means no private dashboards, datasets, roadmaps, PHI, screenshots, or confidential client artifacts.
