Plan whether to build,
not just what to build.
I help non-technical founders make the calls that actually determine whether a software build succeeds, before the money is spent and the decisions are locked in.
Software Blueprint
Turn your idea into a clear, buildable plan before you spend a dollar on development.
Courses & Learning
Tech Foundations for Innovators. Understand the process before you enter it.
Consulting & Strategy
Already building and something feels off? Get a senior set of eyes on the whole picture.
Case Study
When the right call
is to stop.
A founder came to Paisley with a sweepstakes-based debt reduction platform. After months of work building out a full software blueprint — six user personas, Plaid integration, gamification, admin flows, everything — the API pricing model broke the business case entirely. The developer had a workaround. Paisley said no. That call saved the founder from spending $10,000 on something that was no longer his product.
No artifact captures that. Only the judgment did.
Not sure whether to build?
That is exactly the right question to bring to a clarity call.
