arbur.shape

Decide what to build before anyone writes code.

Product consultancy from people who’ve owned products, not just advised on them. We help you find the real problem, choose the right foundations and commit to a plan your team can actually ship.

Ways to engage

Start small. Go deeper only if it’s useful.

90 minutes · no cost

Working session

Bring the idea, the problem or the stuck project. Leave with a clear view of the risks and the next three decisions.

2–4 weeks

Discovery sprint

User interviews, market and competitor scan, a scoped first release and a clickable prototype you can put in front of people.

3–6 weeks

Strategy & roadmap

Positioning, product model, a sequenced roadmap and the team plan to deliver it. Built to survive a board meeting.

1–3 weeks

Architecture review

An honest look at your stack, data model, security and compliance posture, with a prioritised fix list.

1–2 weeks

Tech due diligence

For investors and acquirers: what’s really under the hood, what it will cost to scale and who holds the knowledge.

ongoing · part-time

Fractional CPO / CTO

Senior product or engineering leadership a few days a month, until you’re ready to hire full-time. We help you hire, too.

What you walk away with

Decisions, not decks.

  • problem →A sharp statement of who it’s for and what they’ll pay for, tested with real users.
  • scope →The smallest first release that proves it, and what deliberately waits.
  • foundations →Architecture, data, security and compliance choices, with the trade-offs written down.
  • plan →Team, timeline and budget range. Build it with arbur.build, or with anyone else.

Bring us the hard question.

The 90-minute session costs nothing and commits you to nothing. You’ll talk to a senior person, not a salesperson.
