Your engineers are at capacity. The MVP keeps slipping.

Your MVP was supposed to launch 3 months ago. Your engineers are still "almost there."

Every week it slips, a competitor gets closer to your vision. You're watching them capture the category you defined.

Offshore shops build features — but no analytics, no experimentation.

You paid $18K for an MVP. It works. But you have no idea if users are activating, no idea where they drop off, no idea what to optimize.

You need to launch before competitors capture the category.

They're 4 weeks from launch. You're 12 weeks out. In 12 weeks, they'll have customers, feedback, momentum. You'll have... an MVP.

10 weeks from now: MVP launched. 500+ active users. Activation 18%→31%.

Your investors see weekly metrics dashboards — activation cohorts, retention curves, expansion signals — not "we think it's working" updates.

You're closing enterprise deals because the analytics infrastructure was built in from day one. Your sales team can answer "how do we know this works?" with data, not testimonials.

You're not wondering if the product works. You know. The data tells you. And every week, you're making it better — not guessing, not debating, just shipping what the experiments prove.

How It Works

The B.U.I.L.D. Methodology

Not just code. A measurable, optimizable product. Every MVP runs through five phases — Blueprint, Understand, Instrument, Launch, Deploy.

B
Phase 1

Blueprint

Week 1-2. We define what to build — and what to cut.

  • Product spec + user stories
  • Acceptance criteria
  • Success metrics defined
  • S.C.O.P.E. prioritization
U
Phase 2

Understand

Week 2-3. We learn who your users are and what they need.

  • 5-8 user interviews
  • Competitive analysis
  • User flows + journey maps
  • JTBD analysis
I
Phase 3

Instrument

Week 4-6. We build the analytics layer alongside the product.

  • Event tracking schema
  • Dashboard suite (7-10 charts)
  • Success metrics instrumentation
  • A/B test framework setup
L
Phase 4

Launch

Week 7-10. We ship to production — tested, documented, ready.

  • Production deployment
  • QA across devices/browsers
  • Technical documentation
  • Developer handoff
D
Phase 5

Deploy

Week 11-12. We support launch and start optimizing.

  • 30-day post-launch support
  • First optimization sprint
  • Iteration plan
  • F.A.S.T. tracking dashboard

Know what's working from day one.

Every MVP includes F.A.S.T. tracking — four metrics that tell you if your product is working, before you raise your next round.

F

First Use

Time to first value, onboarding completion rate

  • Onboarding funnel tracking
  • Time-to-value measurement
  • Drop-off point identification
A

Activation

% reaching aha moment, time to activation

  • Aha moment definition
  • Activation rate tracking
  • Cohort analysis
S

Stickiness

DAU/MAU ratio, weekly retention, feature adoption

  • Retention curve tracking
  • Feature adoption breadth
  • Engagement scoring
T

Trajectory

Week-over-week growth, cohort retention curves

  • Growth rate tracking
  • Cohort retention analysis
  • Trend dashboards

Timeline Guarantee

If the MVP is not production-ready in the agreed timeline, you pay 10% less per week of delay. If we miss by 4+ weeks, the final 4 weeks are free. We're incentivized to ship on time — not drag out the engagement.

Common questions

Everything you need to know before booking a call.

What do you need from our team? +
Typically 1-2 hours per week from a mid-level engineer for instrumentation implementation. We design the spec and build the analytical layer; your engineers implement the tracking changes. We scope this precisely in the initial call.
Can you work with our existing codebase? +
Yes. We've built MVPs on React, Vue, Next.js, Django, FastAPI, Node, and everything in between. We integrate with your existing auth, databases, and APIs. The goal is to ship an MVP that feels native to your stack — not a bolted-on demo.
What happens after launch? +
You have a production MVP with analytics, A/B testing, and dashboards. Most clients continue into MVP + Growth LAB ($10K/mo) for 3 months of experimentation and optimization. Some take the playbook and run it themselves. Both are fine — you own everything we build.
Do you provide post-launch support? +
Yes. 30 days of post-launch support is included in every tier. Bug fixes, minor tweaks, and instrumentation adjustments. After 30 days, you can continue with Growth LAB or hand off to your team with full documentation.
How is this different from offshore dev shops? +
Offshore shops build features. We build growth infrastructure. Your offshore MVP works — but you have no idea if users are activating, no A/B testing framework, no dashboards. Ours ships with analytics, experimentation, and a playbook for optimization. You're not just launching. You're learning.

You don't have an MVP problem. You have a systems problem.

Most SaaS companies that struggle to launch don't lack developers or ideas. They lack a system that connects development to actual growth metrics.

They build MVPs that launch to silence. They have features but no analytics. They have users but no idea why they're activating (or not). They have a board asking "when do we launch?" and no confidence.

The problem isn't the code. The problem is that there's no growth infrastructure underneath it.

Honest Comparison

ProductQuant vs. Other Options

We're not the right fit for everyone. Here's how we compare.

ProductQuant Growth Agency Fractional CPO
What you get Operating system + shipped features Recommendations + slide decks Strategy + guidance
Time to value 6-8 weeks 3-6 months 2-4 months
Team required None (we execute) Your PM + eng team Your entire team
Cost (3 months) $35K–$65K $150K–$300K $60K–$120K
What happens after You own the system Dependency continues They leave, system stays

Note: If you have a strong internal growth team and just need strategic guidance, a fractional CPO might be a better fit. If you want someone to own growth end-to-end long-term, an agency might work. If you want to ship fast and own the system afterwards, we're your best option.

The cost of waiting

Let's do the math. If you're at $2M ARR with 20% activation and the benchmark for your product type is 35%:

You're converting 15% fewer signups to revenue every month.

At 500 signups/month with $100 ACV: that's 75 users who paid for acquisition and never became customers.

That's $7,500 MRR lost. Every month. $90K ARR burning while you read this.

And that's just activation. We haven't talked about churn, expansion, or competitive positioning.

6-8 weeks from now, this could be fixed. Or you could keep burning $90K/month. Your call.

Who You're Working With

Not an agency. Not a hire. A partner.

Jake McMahon
Jake McMahon — PLG & GTM Growth Strategist
I'm Jake, the founder of ProductQuant. I've spent the last 8 years as a product operator — not a consultant, not an agency owner. I've been the person responsible for growth at B2B SaaS companies from $1M to $50M ARR.
I started ProductQuant because I kept seeing the same pattern: companies hiring growth agencies that delivered slide decks, or hiring fractional CPOs who delivered strategy but no execution. Meanwhile, their engineers were building features nobody used, their designers were redesigning based on opinions, and their boards were asking "what's the growth plan?" with no answer.
What I won't do:
  • Deliver a 100-page strategy deck and leave
  • Recommend you hire 5 people before we've shipped anything
  • Charge you $50K/mo to manage a team you already have
  • Tell you what you want to hear instead of what you need to hear
What I will do:
Ship production features in 6-8 weeks. Instrument everything. Show you what's working and what's not. Give you a system you can run yourself. And if I can't find $100K+ in addressable revenue opportunity in the first 6 weeks, I'll tell you — and we won't continue.
Risk Reversal

Four guarantees. Zero risk.

We're so confident in our system that we put our money where our mouth is.

Adoption Guarantee

If your AI feature doesn't hit 10% adoption among active users within 60 days of launch, we iterate free until it does.

Timeline Guarantee

If we don't ship production features in 6-8 weeks, you pay 10% less per week of delay. If we miss by 4+ weeks, the final 4 weeks are free.

Revenue Guarantee

If we can't find $100K+ in addressable revenue opportunity in the first 6 weeks, we won't continue the engagement. No hard feelings.

Ownership Guarantee

Everything we build is yours. Code, dashboards, playbooks, documentation. We don't rent you a system. We install one you own.
