Engagement Models
Choose the model that fits your context.
We are not a one-size-fits-all consultancy. The right engagement model depends on your problem, your team, and your timeline.
Four ways to engage. All built for outcomes.
Focused Sprint
A time-boxed engagement with a clearly defined scope, deliverables, and success criteria. You get senior product expertise for a specific problem, with full accountability for the outcome.
Best for
Clear, bounded problems with an immediate decision needed
Example engagements
- Vision & Strategy Forge Sprint
- Business Analysis to Build-Ready Pack
- AI Product Readiness Sprint
Monthly Retainer
Ongoing senior product partnership on a defined scope. Ideal for fractional leadership, sustained product operations coaching, or long-running programme governance.
Best for
Teams that need continuity of senior product thinking without a full-time hire
Example engagements
- Fractional PM Engagement
- Ongoing delivery governance
- Strategic advisory
Partner-Enabled Delivery
We embed inside your existing project or programme as a senior product and BA function. Suitable for large-scale digital transformation or product-led engineering initiatives.
Best for
Large programmes with complex stakeholder environments and high BA/PM demand
Example engagements
- Enterprise product ops design
- Digital transformation programmes
- Complex BA-heavy builds
Selective Co-Build
Product Forge SA co-owns the product definition and specification, working alongside your engineering team to ensure build-ready input throughout the development lifecycle.
Best for
Dev agencies or product studios that need senior PM/BA coverage without headcount
Example engagements
- Product studio partnerships
- SaaS build support
- Custom product delivery

"We have a big programme and need embedded product/BA support"
"We are a dev agency and need PM/BA input on client builds"
"We want to get AI initiatives moving but governance is blocking us"
