Find out if it will work before you spend the money.

ProductGurus is a Vancouver research and build studio for small business owners and founders. We find out whether the idea, the location, or the product holds up, write the brief a developer can quote, and build the website that brings in enquiries. Every number on this site traces to a case study you can read.

Services

Three ways in, one pipeline

Start where the question is. Research before you spend, a brief before you build, a website before you launch. Typical timelines are on each page; prices are quoted after a 30-minute call.

01 · Research

Know before you spend

Product researchCustomer interviews that tell you what people will pay for. Feasibility researchMarket size, unit economics, and a build, wait, or no call. Location and demographyWho lives, works, and spends near the address you're considering. Competitor benchmarkingWhere you fit, what to charge, what they dropped and why.
02 · Build

A brief a developer can quote

Build briefProcess maps, user stories with acceptance criteria, a PRD, a vendor pick. Product ownershipBacklog, roadmap, UAT, and a fractional product owner month to month. PrototypeA clickable version tested with real users before anyone writes production code. Three to four weeks.
03 · Presence

How the work runs

Outcome first. Method second.

Every engagement starts with the decision you need to make, then uses only the stages that get you there: discover, decide, define, build, grow. You see the evidence before you see the recommendation. See the pipeline →

The fine print, in large type, on purpose

ProductGurus is a Vancouver studio for owners and founders who would rather find out than guess. We don't build e-commerce stores and we don't run paid ads. We do run the interviews, size the market, write the brief, build the site, and put our name on the numbers. The seven products on the work page were shipped end to end and double as the proof.
