Product Strategy & Technical Advisory

Make informed technology decisions before you build.

Early decisions shape the cost and success of every digital product. We help you test assumptions, understand constraints, and choose a practical direction before major investment.

Why it matters

My Econics offers product strategy and technical advisory for startups preparing a new product and for established organisations improving an existing one. We combine business and user analysis with technical knowledge and design thinking.

Together we define your product concept, test whether it is feasible, and plan a sequence of work that gives you the most confidence for the effort involved.

Problems this can address

  • You have a product idea but are unsure what to build first.
  • Stakeholders disagree on priorities, scope, or the right technology.
  • An existing product needs repositioning, improvement, or a clearer roadmap.
  • You need to understand whether an emerging technology is worth pursuing.
  • You want evidence before seeking investment or approving a larger budget.

  • Comparing build, buy, and integrate options for a new internal system.
  • Assessing whether robotic process automation suits a high-volume administrative task.
  • Creating a staged roadmap to modernise an established product.

Typical deliverables

  • Discovery findings
  • Feasibility report
  • Prioritised roadmap
  • Architecture options

  • Recommendations and next steps

Confirmed in the agreed scope for each engagement.

Our process

How this fits the way we work

Advisory work concentrates on the first four stages of our process: understanding goals, discovery and analysis, exploring solutions, and design and prototyping. The outputs can stand alone—giving you the evidence to make a decision—or lead directly into build and integration with My Econics or another delivery team.

  1. Stage 1 Understand Your Goals Key stage
  2. Stage 2 Discover & Analyse Key stage
  3. Stage 3 Explore Solutions Key stage
  4. Stage 4 Design & Prototype Key stage
  5. Stage 5 Build & Integrate
  6. Stage 6 Validate & Launch
  7. Stage 7 Support & Improve

Explore all seven stages

Before you start

Considerations and dependencies

  • We evaluate technologies on their fit for your situation. Sometimes the recommendation is to wait, simplify, or use an existing product.
  • Feasibility work reduces uncertainty but cannot remove all risk; some questions are only answered through delivery.
  • Useful recommendations depend on access to stakeholders, users, and relevant information.
