AI Product Manager | Enterprise SaaS | Product Strategy | Supply Chain & FinTech | Turning ambiguous problems into scalable products

About

I'm building a practice around a question most software companies haven't answered yet: what does it actually cost to serve each customer, and is your pricing keeping up? After 10+ years as a Business Analyst and PM across Fintech (invoice discounting), HR Tech, Supply Chain, and eCommerce, I've spent that time doing one thing repeatedly - turning messy, ambiguous business problems into clear, structured answers. Now I'm applying that same discipline to a specific problem: helping software companies understand cost-to-serve, customer profitability, and how to price AI features without eroding margin. This is early-stage work. I'm developing a structured audit methodology (cost-to-serve mapping, customer profitability analysis, pricing model fit) and validating it through direct conversations with software companies grappling with AI feature costs. If you're a software company trying to figure out whether your AI features are profitable or whether usage-based pricing actually reflects your cost structure, I'd like to talk, even just to learn from your situation.
