The gap

You ship every week. Growth gets whatever time is left, which is none.

“We ship every week, but I couldn't tell you our activation rate.”
“I know we should do outbound, content and onboarding emails. I just never get to them.”
“Users sign up, poke around, and vanish.”
“Our best accounts could pay more, but nobody's watching for the signal.”

Your week

You: 30 minutes. Hockeysticky: the other 10,050.

Your 30 minutes

  • 0–5 min

    What moved. Your focus metric, last week's experiments, what worked.

  • 5–15 min

    Approve. Posts, sequences and emails waiting for your OK.

  • 15–25 min

    Decide. Keep, kill or double down, and whether the focus metric changes.

  • 25–30 min

    Next up. Calls it booked for you, with a brief for each.

The rest of the week

  • Reads your analytics, billing and releases every day.
  • Runs the plays: content, outbound, onboarding and win-back emails, upgrade prompts.
  • Measures every experiment against a hypothesis.
  • Turns every release into changelog, docs and launch posts.
  • Flags the accounts and users worth a human conversation.

No dashboard to babysit. The work comes to your calendar.

The loop

From strategy to measured impact, every week.

  1. Strategy.

    Positioning, ICP and growth model (self-serve or product-led sales), plus the one metric that matters this quarter.

  2. Baseline.

    Reads your analytics, billing and repo, and benchmarks your funnel against industry data.

  3. Plan.

    Picks the plays most likely to move your metric, with a clear hypothesis for each.

  4. Execute.

    Ships the work through your tools: content to your CMS, sequences to your sales tool, emails to your users, docs from your releases.

  5. Measure.

    Reads the impact, keeps what worked, cuts what didn't.

  6. Check in.

    Your 30-minute weekly review, plus prepped briefs for every call worth your time.

The strategy isn't a one-off doc. It gets rewritten by the results.

Your AI tools

ClaudeCursorChatGPT

MCP-native, both ways.

Hockeysticky uses MCP tools to act across your stack, so it can run the full loop without you. It also exposes its own MCP server, so you can ask "what should I work on this week?" or "launch this release" from the AI tools you already use.

Control

30 minutes is the minimum. How hands-off you go is up to you.

It drafts, you approve. Nothing goes out without your OK.

Set it per area, e.g. autopilot for onboarding emails, approval for anything public.

Who's building this

“I've spent years as a product manager running product-led growth at an enterprise software company, and I teach PLG practices to other product teams. Now I build AI products myself, and I've seen the same gap every small team has: they can ship, but nobody runs growth. Hockeysticky turns the playbook I've used for years into a team that runs it for you.”
