Sometimes you don't need a full engagement. You need someone who's seen this go sideways before.
Your team has research in motion. You have a study design, a discussion guide, maybe some early findings. But something feels off, or you just want to make sure you're not missing something before you go further.
Sprint Advisory is a focused 30-day engagement built around your active work. I review your key artifacts, join your working sessions, and stay available for questions, feedback, and gut-checks.
Who this is for
Teams running research without a senior researcher to pressure-test their approach. Teams moving fast who want someone to spot the blind spots before they become problems. And teams that have findings but aren't sure how to interpret them — or how to turn them into something the product team will act on.
How it works
At the start of the engagement, I review your current research artifacts: study plans, discussion guides, screeners, any early data. I join your working sessions as an observer and advisor. Throughout the 30 days I'm available async for questions, artifact reviews, and feedback. Think of it as having a senior researcher available while the work is happening, not after.
What you get
Sharper study designs, fewer blind spots, and a clearer sense of what your research is actually telling you. Insights improve when someone with deep experience reviews the work as it happens, not after the report is done.
About the Sprint Advisory engagement
What exactly does 'advisory' mean, and what do you actually do?
I review your artifacts, join your working sessions, and stay available async throughout the 30 days. Think of it as having a senior researcher on call while the work is happening, not after.
When in a project should I bring you in?
The earlier the better. Ideally before you go to field. That's when feedback has the most impact. But I can add value at almost any stage, including during analysis when you're trying to make sense of what you found.
What if I need more than 30 days?
We can extend. Some teams run back-to-back Sprint Advisory engagements on consecutive projects. Others use it as a bridge while they hire or scope a larger engagement.
How much does it cost?
Sprint Advisory is priced as a flat engagement fee for the 30-day period. The exact number depends on the scope of involvement. I'm based in Atlanta and work with teams nationwide. A short conversation is the fastest way to get a quote.
