Join the next Traction Clinic
A free 60-minute virtual session. You bring your product and one challenge. I give you a clear verdict - whether you have a product problem, a user problem, or both - and one specific next step to focus on first.
I'm Pearl Oguchi. I have spent 22 years building and shipping products - 9 of those at Meta. I work with tech startups to find what their product really needs next, so they can focus on the right things and grow without wasting time and money. I’m the independent voice who names the real problem out loud so you can act.
Tell me what you’ve built and where it’s stuck. I’ll tell you whether you have a product problem, a user problem, or both.
Pearl spots the gaps that those of us deep inside a SaaS product simply cannot see. She looked at the product over lunch and spotted a design flaw in 8 seconds.
Founder, Kin. Time Well SpentA fast, focused review that flagged critical issues. Thanks to Pearl's input, we went into testing with confidence and clarity.
Louise Orrell, Founder, Tradys for BusinessYou’re a Founder or CTO building a tech product. You’ve got funding, a team, and a deadline.
You’re building for investors who expect to see traction. For users who need it to work. For a board who needs proof it’s going in the right direction.
But inside the team, no one can tell you the truth about what’s really broken because everyone has a reason to say it’s fine.
That’s where I come in.
You can't write it on LinkedIn. You can't put it in an investor update the way you'd say it to a friend. Inside the team you’ve already said it twice. Nothing has changed.
The roadmap keeps growing. The demo looks fine. But what’s shipping isn’t landing. The gap between what your board thinks is happening and what is actually happening gets wider every week.
That’s the gap I live in. I’ve sat on the other side of that board table for 22 years. I’m the independent voice with no stake in the outcome except the right one.
You’ve shipped features, but your users aren’t coming back. You can’t tell if it’s the product, the messaging, or something else.
Your agency says everything is on track. Your team says it’s done. But when you demo it, the flow breaks, the experience starts to make less sense and your investors ask questions you can’t answer.
You’re about to present to your board or investors, and you’re not confident the product will survive their questions.
Your roadmap has 40 items on it. You don’t know which 3 actually matter. You’ve burned through 6 months and £80,000. You need someone to tell you honestly whether to keep going or change direction.
Diagnose what’s broken. Plan the fix. Stay on seat until it’s shipped.
A free 60-minute virtual session. You bring your product and one challenge. I give you a clear verdict - whether you have a product problem, a user problem, or both - and one specific next step to focus on first.
If your challenge needs deeper work: a full diagnostic, independent oversight, or sign-off before a major launch or funding round, we’ll scope the right engagement together.
I don’t hand you a document and leave. I stay accountable from diagnosis through to delivered outcome.

1 hour, free and virtual. You walk me through your tech product, what has shipped, and the decisions in front of you. I give you a one page summary you can use with your team or your board, whether or not we work together next. The fee is credited if you book a Diagnostic.
