Get a product review before your users find the problems.
You have built something with AI tools. It works. But you are not sure if it is ready for real users, what to fix first, or what you are missing. I will tell you.
I am offering free product audits while this newsletter is new. You get a written report with the three highest-leverage changes to make next. I get to understand the problems builders face first-hand.
From Valerio Milana: nearly a decade of product management across financial services, e-commerce, and digital publishing. Now shipping real projects solo with AI tools and writing this newsletter about the work around the code.
What you get
A written report within one week, covering your product from the perspective of someone who has delivered digital products for a living, whether built, bought, or integrated. Best for solo builders and small teams with something live or nearly live.
Product and positioning review
Whether what you have built matches what your target users actually need, and where the gaps are between your vision and what someone would experience today.
Three changes to make this week
The highest-leverage improvements you could make in the next two weeks, ranked by impact, with specific suggestions.
Problems you have not hit yet
Auth gaps, data decisions, monitoring blind spots, onboarding friction: the things that will become painful later if left unaddressed.
Ready-for-users verdict
A candid take on whether the product is ready to put in front of paying users, and what to do first if it is not.
Beyond the audit
Some builders want more than a report. If the audit surfaces questions that need deeper answers, I can also help with:
User research coaching — how to talk to your target users, what questions to ask, and how to turn conversations into actionable product decisions. Including how to use AI tools to speed up analysis.
Validation sprints — a focused week working together to test whether your product solves the problem you think it does, before you build the next ten features.
Ongoing product advice — a regular check-in for builders who want a sounding board as they ship. Prioritisation, sequencing, and the product decisions that AI tools cannot make for you.
These are paid engagements. Start with the free audit and we can talk about what makes sense from there.
