Zero-to-one AI product builds

I build the first version of your AI product. Then your team runs it without me.

Fixed scope, 2–6 weeks. Handed off with everything your team needs to run it.

    Work

    Different industries, one pattern: find the leverage point, build the thing, hand it over.

    Delivery framework, extended company-wide

    Delivery frameworkEnterprise account

    Every high-growth platform eventually meets enterprise expectations. I implemented and led the delivery framework that met them: five gated stages, dual sign-off, artifacts that made what, why, and how legible to anyone in the organization. Delivery for the company's largest account became predictable and on time, and leadership extended the framework across the company.

    I directed the replatform of Sportsnet NOW: one streaming service delivered across every major platform: Apple TV, Samsung, Amazon, Xbox, PlayStation, the web, and inside the Sportsnet mobile app. That included absorbing NHL Live into the platform: a migration with zero tolerance for disruption, executed while the games kept playing. Vendors, engineering, design: my decisions, daily. Two national launches, plus custom features built to pull viewers deeper into the live game.

    Health-techReplatformRetention

    On a platform serving millions of medical professionals, I built for the two users who compound. Through user research, I led the full redesign and replatform — the direction that ultimately carried the product forward. For physicians, I built accredited CME drawn from the platform's own medical library: free, and satisfying a requirement every doctor carries every year. For the business, entirely new campaign mediums: richer formats that raised what the platform could offer, and what partners were willing to invest in. Acquired in 2024.

    Two ways to work with me

    Scoped build

    Scoped builds — I build it

    You have a validated need and no v1. I architect the product, build a working version functional enough to put in front of real users, and hand it off to your team with the documentation and context they need to own it from day one. Fixed scope, fixed timeline, defined handoff. When it's done, it's yours.

    Advisory

    Advisory — you build it

    Your team does the building; I guide the delivery. I bring the playbook I developed running enterprise-scale delivery: gated stages, clear artifacts, sign-offs that keep everyone honest about what's being built and why. I advise; I don't implement, and I don't manage your operations.

    What I don't do

    No retainers. No ongoing operational management. No embedding in your team indefinitely. Every engagement has a defined end, and the handoff is designed so you don't need me after it.

    03

    How it works

    STEP 1

    Scope

    We define the build before anything gets built: the need, the v1 that proves it, the boundaries, and what handoff looks like. You know what you're getting, when it lands, and what it costs, before work begins.

    STEP 2

    Architect and build

    I design the architecture and build the working version: functional software your team can put in front of real users, not a deck about what could be built. Two to six weeks, fixed scope.

    STEP 3

    Hand off

    Your team takes ownership, with the documentation, the context, and the reasoning behind every architectural decision. The engagement ends by design, and the product doesn't need me to keep running.

    Advisory engagements follow the same arc — scope, guide, exit — with your team doing the building and my playbook steering the delivery.

    04

    Terms

    Fixed scope, fixed price

    Priced to the scope and agreed before work begins. No surprises invoiced later.

    Start with a scoping sprint

    One week, fixed price: the architecture, the plan, and a firm quote for the build. If you stop there, you keep the plan.

    Two to six weeks

    The end date is set at the start, and the engagement is built to reach it.

    Half at start, half at handoff

    Simple, and it keeps both of us committed to the same finish line.

    One build at a time

    And one fractional product-leadership seat, separately. Never more than one of each.

    Handoff is the deliverable

    Documentation, context, and the reasoning behind every decision transfer with the product. Your team owns it outright.

    No retainers. No operational management

    If you need more after handoff, we scope a new engagement. We don't drift into one.

    About

    Sarah Blake, founder of Aigile Solutions

    I'm Sarah Blake. Ten years in product — a national streaming service, a health platform used by millions of clinicians, then four years shipping at enterprise scale — and now I build the first version of AI products myself. Canadian, based in Uluwatu, Indonesia.

    What I'm good at is the part before the code: seeing the pattern in a messy problem, saying the thing about it nobody has managed to articulate, and turning that into something a user moves through without thinking. Then I build it — same person, no handoff between the one who understood the problem and the one who ships it. Working software, in production, with what your team needs to keep it running.

    Every role I've held ended the same way: I built the system that made the manual work unnecessary, then handed it over. The work above is that pattern, repeating. If you have a problem like that, it's a two-week conversation, not a quarter.

    If you're building something

    Tell me what it is and where it stands. I read every note and reply within two business days. If it's not a fit — you need ongoing staffing, or it's not a build — I'll say so and point you somewhere useful.
