Construct the Productisation Artefact and Pricing Model
Build a formal Services-to-Product transition plan that defines the productised offer, packaging logic, delivery architecture, and unit economics. The founder formulates recurring pricing tiers, establishes self-serve or light-touch onboarding pathways, and designs the operational hand-off from human services to automated assets.
Completing this artefact provides the founder with a concrete operational and commercial model for moving from billed hours to recurring product revenue. It turns abstract transition strategy into an actionable blueprint that can be stress-tested by investors and executed by the team.
A robust, decision-ready Services-to-Product Transition artefact featuring defined product tiers, pricing logic, service level boundaries, and a step-by-step operational roadmap. The document must explicitly define what is included, what is excluded, and how support is tiered.
Five questions an expert would ask when reviewing your output

Why does your proposed product pricing model align with customer perceived value rather than just cost-plus service recovery?
- 2
How does your new operational model prevent 'scope creep' when legacy clients demand bespoke add-ons to the standard product?
- 3
What features or modules in this artefact are critical for launch versus nice-to-have capabilities that should be deferred?
- 4
How does the projected unit economics of your productised offer compare to your historical service gross margins?
- 5
What specific migration path have you built to transition existing retainer clients onto your new subscription product?
