⚠️ 85% of AI Products Fail. Your Team Is Building One Right Now.
Snowball Design Sprint Framework helps you validate product-market fit in weeks instead of discovering failure after 6 months and $2M.
85% of AI products fail.
Not because the technology doesn't work. Not because the teams aren't talented.
They fail because of how we build them.
Here's what's killing AI projects:
While your team debates Figma wireframes and hands off requirements through endless meetings, your AI project is dying in a Dev-Star silo.
The pattern is painfully predictable:
Week 1-4: PM writes text requirements (in isolation)
Week 5-9: UX designs mockups (without seeing AI behavior)
Week 10-36: Dev builds in silo (nobody sees it until "done")
Week 37: Launch
Week 38: Crickets. Nobody wants it.
By the time engineering ships, nobody recognizes what you originally envisioned.
Sound familiar?
The Snowball Design Sprint fixes this
I've spent years developing a methodology that replaces the broken 3-in-a-box handoff model with something that actually works for AI products.
Here's how it's different:
✅ Real data from day one (not lorem ipsum)
✅ Working AI prototypes, not static mockups
✅ Customer validation before production investment
✅ Cross-functional teams building together, not handing off
The difference? Time and money.
You validate product-market fit in weeks instead of discovering failure after 6 months and $2M.
I've codified the complete framework—from problem framing (Storyboard, Digital Twin, Value Matrix) through rapid iteration (Paper Wireframes → RAG → Vibe Coding) to validated launch.

🎯 I'm talking with product leadership teams who are ready to implement this methodology at scale.
If your company is serious about escaping the 85% failure rate and you need someone to build/lead AI product orgs that actually ship what customers want to buy, let's connect.
