- Uncertainty around the product scope, architecture, and development steps needed forsuccess.
- A need for guidance from a team capable of translating her idea into a strategic, buildable roadmap.
“I struggled with communicating my concept of a grading AI assistant, and what steps I needed to take in order for it to succeed.”
