Product Growth & Metrics
Growth isn't a marketing layer you bolt on after launch — it's the outcome you name before scope. I start with the trapped value: stockouts bleeding sales, manual workflows bleeding cost, adoption gaps on busy restaurant lines. Then I tie every roadmap item to a measurable delta. AssetIQ's 264% revenue growth came after inventory accuracy climbed to 99.4%. Toyota's $40M savings came from automating workflows operators already resented. The pattern: find the money, build the machine, compound the gains.

FAQ
Common questions
- What is outcome-first product management?
- Naming the business metric a feature must move — revenue, cost, accuracy, adoption — before writing scope. Roadmaps become bets with measurable payoffs.
- How do you prioritize growth opportunities?
- Size the cost of the status quo in dollars, validate with operators, and prioritize wedges with the highest ROI per sprint.
- What metrics do you track for B2B SaaS?
- Depends on the wedge — inventory accuracy before revenue (AssetIQ), deployment proof before expansion (Sumo), editor satisfaction before ops cost (Mave).
- Where can I see growth case studies?
- Browse AssetIQ, Toyota systems, Aranya, Gloria Jean's, and Neoshift on the work page — filter by revenue or scale metrics.
