Development & IT Consultation with Saqib T.
Development & IT Consultation with Saqib T.
Build or buy. Scope or cut. Hire or outsource. Pivot or hold.
Whether the roadmap is wrong or the Delivery process is.
I have spent 10 years inside Product and Operations, for founders, SaaS teams and agencies. Discovery behind multiple funding rounds from $100k to $500k. Operations work that has scaled multiple agencies past $500k. Three companies set up and made 5x more profitable. The specifics are in my reviews.
You bring the context and the actual question. I bring a decade of watching this go both ways.
You leave with a decision, not options.
Then I write it up: a Meeting Summary, a Project Plan for what you decided, and a Time and Cost Estimate to go with it.
Good Use of This Call:
• Your roadmap is opinions and you need to know what to build first
• Your team ships late and nobody can say exactly why
• You are about to spend real money and want it pressure-tested
• You are adding AI because a competitor did
Bad Use of This Call:
• You want someone to agree with a decision you already made
• You want free scoping for a project you will build elsewhere
If I cannot help, I will say so in the first ten minutes.

Hey, I'm Saqib. I am not a Product Manager you rent by the hour. I am the person you bring in when the company is building the wrong thing, or building the right thing badly.
Most companies have both problems and can only see one.
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗼 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱
A roadmap made of opinions. A backlog nobody prunes. A team shipping features that move nothing. I run Discovery until the decision is obvious, then write the scope any competent team could build from.
→ "Helped the client raise a $250k seed round." - Founder, CRM Startup, USA
→ "He partnered with our product team, plotted our process, and identified the gaps. We wouldn't have made the progress we have without his leadership." - Product Lead, SaaS Platform
𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗽
Discovery is worthless if Delivery is broken. So I go into the machine itself - how work gets scoped, sequenced, handed off, and closed. Sales-to-Delivery pipelines, the SOPs nobody wrote down, the handoffs where things quietly die, the founder who is the bottleneck and cannot see it.
→ "We did over $300K in sales in 2022 and Saqib was a big part of it." - Owner, Web Development Agency, US
→ "We set up three tech companies and made them 5x more profitable." - Founder, 2 year engagement
→ "Every winning team has a Most Valuable Player, and Saqib is that MVP. Leaving a job in his hands is to forget worrying about its success." - Director, Marketing Technology Company
𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗜𝘁 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀
Every engagement opens with a Discovery Sprint. Fixed price, fixed scope, and you own everything it produces.
At the end you have a decision, a scope, and the artefacts to build from. If you want me through Delivery, I stay. If you would rather take the specs to another team, take them. They are yours either way, and I will say that to your face rather than bury it in a contract.

𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗙𝗶𝘁
→ Founders post-raise who need an operator, not a vendor
→ Agencies and studios where Delivery is the constraint, not sales
→ SaaS teams with a roadmap nobody believes in
→ Companies adding AI because a competitor did, with no idea what it changes
𝗪𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗶𝘁
→ Anyone who has decided what to build and wants hands, not judgment
→ Projects with no Discovery budget
→ Staff Augmentation
→ Anything priced on hours rather than outcomes
𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗜 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸
→ B2B SaaS - compliance platforms, data marketplaces, enterprise tools
→ Marketplaces - multi-sided platforms, booking systems, service networks
→ Fintech - lending platforms, payment systems, regulatory tech
→ AI-First Products - LLM integrations, conversational AI, automation tools
→ Agencies & Studios - Delivery systems, margin, scaling past founder-led
→ HealthTech - HIPAA-compliant systems, patient portals, EHR integrations
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝗮𝘆
→ "One of the most knowledgeable people I have ever met in tech. He channels that passion by being an awesome all-rounder Product Manager." - Founder, Enterprise Software
→ "A very unique mix of talent and expertise. As a business owner I need people who can adapt to any task at hand." - Owner, Mobile App Company
→ "Continues to excel as our UX and Agile Product Owner. His workshop facilitation and agile expertise drive outstanding results." - Manager, RegTech SaaS, Australia
→ "Got up to speed quickly and became an integral part of the team in no time. Highly responsive, proactive updates, clear visibility." - Talent Lead, US Startup

Before the consultation
Here’s what Saqib will need to know before you meet
- What is the decision you are stuck on, and what have you already tried? Tell me the business, the stage, and what happens if you get this wrong. The more specific you are, the more useful the hour will be.
- Anything I should read before we talk? A deck, a roadmap, a backlog, analytics, a link to the product. Attach whatever exists. I would rather spend the hour on your decision than on catching up.

Talent Enablement (incl. Onboarding)
Saqib got up to speed quickly and became an integral part of the team in no time. He was highly responsive and communicative, consistently providing proactive updates and clear visibility into progress. A strong cross-functional collaborator, he worked seamlessly with everyone and earned universal respect and appreciation across the team. He also produced high-quality work that moved the project forward with confidence and precision. I’d highly recommend Saqib to any team -- my only regret is that we didn’t get to work together longer.
