## Services

Scrappy Hat is an embedded product engineering team for pre-seed to Series A startups. We work inside your company — in your standups, your codebase, your Slack — as the product engineering function.

We are not a dev shop, not consultants, not advisors. We are your team.

### How It Works

1. **Sprint (30 days)** — Assess the stack, the roadmap, and the team. Make the first hard cuts. Get the first real deploy out fast.
2. **Build (6–12 months)** — Operate inside your company as the product engineering function: shipping, prioritizing, and helping real product work compound over time.
3. **Transition (when you're ready)** — Help you hire right — or our people become yours. You keep the foundation and a team that runs.

### Diagnostic Services

Scrappy Hat also offers fixed-price diagnostic audits — sharp, opinionated evaluations you can act on immediately.

**Product Foundation Audit** — For venture-backed SaaS startups. Two-week embedded evaluation across six pillars: ICP & Problem Clarity, Roadmap Discipline, Technical Foundation, Product Operating System, PMF Signal Readiness, and Agentic Readiness. Deliverable: written report with pillar-by-pillar scoring (Red/Yellow/Green), priority stack, and 60-minute debrief. $5,000 fixed fee, 2 weeks.

**Operations Audit** — For service businesses. Stack, workflow, and automation audit. You get the first 20% of automations built, plus a blueprint to automate the other 80%. $2,500–5,000, 1 week.

### Pricing

Embedded engagements starting at $20K/month. No equity. 6–12 month commitment.
Diagnostic audits starting at $2,500 (fixed fee).
