SaaS Product Consulting
SaaS product consulting gives a B2B software company senior product judgment on a defined problem: positioning, roadmap, retention or the operating model, delivered as targeted intervention rather than a permanent seat. The work is measured on activation, retention and ARR. A targeted engagement is $2,500 for a scoped consulting day; ongoing ownership is the embedded option at $8,000 a month in 2026.
This engagement fits a funded B2B SaaS company between $2M and $15M ARR with a specific product problem it can name. If three of the four lines below describe your quarter, the fit is strong.
Stage
Series A or B, with a product team that needs judgment rather than headcount.
Symptom
You can name the problem, whether it is retention, positioning or a roadmap nobody believes.
Revenue
$2M to $15M ARR, where the problem is costing measurable revenue this quarter.
Decision
You are weighing an ongoing seat against outsourcing the function entirely.
Not for you if you are pre product-market fit, want a permanent product executive from day one, or need delivery capacity rather than product judgment.
Product consulting is measured on product numbers. Below is what changed when activation was reworked so more trials reached first value.

| Consulting | Fractional CPO | |
|---|---|---|
| Shape | Targeted intervention on a named problem | Ongoing embedded leadership |
| Typical cost | $2,500 a day, scoped up front | $8,000 a month, 25 hours |
| Commitment | None. The scope is the commitment | 3 month minimum, then monthly |
| Best for | A problem you can already name | No product executive at all |
Consulting works when you already know which question you need answered. If you do not, the engagement turns into a survey and you pay for a quarter of discovery. I would rather spend the first call narrowing the question than the first month searching for it.
If you need the seat held rather than a targeted intervention, read what a fractional CPO is or go straight to part-time product leadership.
You get one senior product executive on your named problem for 25 hours a month, accountable for a measurable change rather than a recommendation. Scope is agreed before we start, so you know what you are buying and when it ends.

$2,500 / day
Scoped up front · no minimum · embedded option $8,000 a month
Full retainers run $5,000 to $15,000 a month in the published market. Positioning and packaging scope moves the number more than hours do, and a scoped day is the cheapest way to find out which you need.

Not included
Design and engineering delivery capacity. I lead your team, I do not replace it.
01
Thirty minutes narrowing the question. You leave with the highest-leverage next move whether or not we work together.
02
A product audit of two to three weeks, then a written scope with the outcome, the measure and the end date.
03
The change goes in with your team, measured against the metric we agreed, and the frameworks stay with you.
Bring your roadmap and your retention numbers. You get a senior product read on both.
Typical improvement after two to three quarters of engagement. Your result depends on your starting point, team maturity and scope.
Sivan played two major roles at the same time as a CEO and VP Product at Naxex. As part of his role as VP Product, he identified creative ideas, developed sharp strategies and built the road map while focusing on customer experience and business needs. Any company would be lucky to have Sivan.
