Fractional product manager for SMEs with a business process still running on Excel, and for SaaS companies without a product manager in post. I write down what needs building and what is left out, then I run your team or build the application myself.
In all three cases, the first meeting is the same: a free 15-minute call to look at your situation and decide what comes next.
Requests arrive by email, tracking lives in a spreadsheet that few people know how to update, and the agency quotes you have received don't say precisely what will be delivered. Product scoping writes that scope down in one week.
Developers and designers are making progress, but nobody has time to set priorities or write the specifications. Cycles slip and the roadmap changes every month. PM-as-a-Service fills that role part-time.
Your board wants an answer and nobody in-house can say which use will hold up in production, or at what cost. Scoping compares the options on your real cases before any development. Details are on the AI SaaS page.
For example: an SME with a process running on Excel that has already received agency quotes. You can stop after any step.
15 minutes, free. We look at the current process, the quotes you have received and your constraints. You leave with an opinion on next steps, even if they don't involve me.
Within 48 hours, in writing: what I propose to do, the price and the timeline.
From €2,500 excl. VAT, delivered in one week. The need, the users, what is in and out of scope, the acceptance criteria. The document is yours: you can hand it to the agency of your choice.
Web application from €20,000 excl. VAT, with a firm price set once the specs are approved and a demo every one to two weeks. Or PM-as-a-Service from €2,900 excl. VAT per month to run your team.
To get started: book a 15-minute call. If you already have agency quotes, bring them along: we will look at what they cover and what they leave out.
Here is an example of a user story, written the way I write them for clients. A need voiced in a meeting becomes an epic, then user stories, then tickets that each carry their acceptance criteria. A developer who opens the ticket knows what to build and how to check it is finished.
As an operations manager, I want to export the month's customer requests, so that I can prepare the monthly review without re-entering data.

Linear is the project management tool where I keep the specification, the tickets, the work cycles and the milestones together. You have access to it and can see progress whenever you like, without waiting for a report.
I founded Crypto Excel, a cryptocurrency portfolio manager. First a spreadsheet to test the idea, then a full SaaS, upgraded for more than three years. I held every role offered on this page, on a product where every decision had a real cost.
More screenshots of the project (website, Figma mockups) are on the portfolio page.
An average rating of 4.9 out of 5, across more than 40 reviews published on Google and Facebook. The three reviews below were left after website and online shop projects: they are about clarity, availability and responsiveness.
We worked with Pascal on the migration and redesign of our website. Pascal did an excellent job and made himself available throughout the project. He is very clear and concise in what he undertakes. We recommend him!
We brought Pascal in for an audit and design work on our website. We appreciated his professionalism and responsiveness. An expert in his field and proactive, we highly recommend him.
A great experience building my website! Pascal is always available and very quick to make changes, even during his holidays. Many thanks for such professionalism.
For the same need, someone whose job is to decide what to build: the typical ranges on the French market, and the rate charged here.
The first two columns are typical ranges on the French market, given as a benchmark: your situation may differ. The third is the rate charged here.
A costed proposal within 48 hours of the discovery call. For an application, the firm price of the build is set once the specs are approved.
One week to go from a vague need to a written scope. At the end, your team or an agency can get started, or you decide to build nothing. First step: a free 15-minute call.
Book a 15-minute callWhen scoping leads to a tool to build: I design it and develop it. Firm price set once the specs are approved, before the first line of code.

Full details of the web application offer (steps, deliverables, a complete example) are on the custom web application page.
Five questions, 20 seconds. You get the service that fits, a budget range and a timeline. No email address required.
Take the questionnaireNo, unless you ask me to. Most often, I support an existing team or fill a vacant role while you recruit. At the end of the engagement, the documentation is handed over so your team can carry on alone.
Yes. Scoping writes down the scope those quotes assume: what is included, what isn't, the acceptance criteria. You can then ask the agencies to price on that basis and compare like with like, or ask me to build it.
When the product workload is steady and long-term. Recruitment usually takes one to two quarters and commits you to a fixed cost. PM-as-a-Service starts within two weeks, adjusts every month and stops with one month's notice after the first three months. If the workload becomes steady, I will tell you.
Linear for specifications and tracking: the spec and the tickets that implement it sit in the same place. Figma for mockups, Notion or Google Docs for notes and shared meeting minutes, GitHub for code. If your team uses other tools, I work in yours.
Fifteen minutes to look at your process, any quotes you have and your constraints. The call is free and you leave with an opinion on next steps, whether or not we work together.
