Our Strategy: 90-Day Impact Report
In the first 90 days of this fractional engagement, we successfully transitioned from a legacy manual design cycle to an AI-First DesignOps workflow. By applying Nielsen-grade heuristics to the core product, we achieved a 50% reduction in design-to-dev latency, reclaiming $160,000 in operational capital that has been re-allocated toward Q2 innovation.

The 90-Day Transformation Roadmap
We move your organization through a three-phase "Capital Reclamation" cycle:
-
Days 1–30: The Audit & Alignment. We identify your UX Debt and calculate your "Legacy Burn Rate." We establish your North Star Metrics (TTV, SUS, and Handoff Efficiency).
-
Days 31–60: The AI-First Infrastructure. We implement the Automated DesignOps Pipeline. We connect and automate design, effectively cutting your development rework time in half.
-
Days 61–90: Strategic Scaling. We present your first 90-Day Impact Report, showing exactly how much capital has been reclaimed and setting the strategy for high-innovation feature launches in Q2.
Why Choose Fractional?
You get Nielsen-level expertise and Enterprise-scale DesignOps without the $300k+ executive overhead. You aren't just hiring a leader, you are installing a system that pays for itself through reclaimed hours and increased market velocity.
Accelerate User Research: Test Function, Not Friction
We move your research from "Reactive" to "Predictive":
-
Phase 1 (Days 1–30): The Baseline. We audit your existing data and establish your Baseline SUS and TSR. We identify the "Insights Gap" where your team is currently guessing.
-
Phase 2 (Days 31–60): AI-First Deployment. We install the ResearchOps Pipeline. We automate the synthesis of customer feedback, increasing your Generative Research Reach by 10x.
-
Phase 3 (Days 61–90): Strategic Governance. Research now dictates the roadmap. We deliver your first 90-Day Impact Report, proving how validated insights have reduced "Feature Failure" and improved Time to Value (TTV).
Why Fractional Research Leadership?
Most companies can’t justify a full-time Research Director, so they settle for no research at all. With HBS Global, you get Nielsen-level governance and an AI-automated pipeline that keeps your engineers focused only on the features that will actually move the needle.
