Senior product leadership for the moments that decide things

Ship sooner, spend less on the wrong things, and stop building work twice. We step into your product team when you need clarity, momentum, a decision made or an honest outside view.

Every engagement is led by a director. Behind them sit specialists, delivery partners and our own research studio, so the work can grow without the person who understood your problem handing it on.

When to bring us in

Four situations we get called into most. Each one is costing you time or money right now.

You need clarity
Everything on the roadmap is a priority, so nothing is. Teams pull in different directions and every planning meeting reopens the last one.
A shorter roadmap the whole team backs
You need progress
The team is busy and the board is full, but very little reaches customers. Dates slip quietly and nobody can say exactly why.
Faster time to market
You need a decision
Build, buy, pause, pivot or stop. The call is overdue and money keeps flowing into the option nobody has the evidence to back.
Budget stops going into the wrong thing
You need fresh eyes
You are too close to it. Something feels off with the product, the team or the plan, and you want a straight answer from someone with no stake in the politics.
Less rework, fewer late resets

How it works

Prices are what you pay. Month to month, no lock-in. Full pricing →

Director-led, properly backed

Senior judgement at the top of every engagement, and the capacity underneath it to get things built.

Leadership

A director leads every engagement

No pitch team, no handover to juniors after signing. The director in your first meeting is the one in your steering group months later, accountable for the result.

Specialists

Depth when you need it

Named associates in research, content design, data and accessibility, plus Participation Studio, our own research arm. You meet them before they start.

Delivery

Build capacity on tap

When a plan moves into build, we work with established delivery partners such as Hedgehog Lab. We stay on your side of the table and hold the build to what was agreed.

Who you'll work with

Rosalyn Potts and Matthew Hodgkinson, directors of Dual Perspective

Dual Perspective was founded by Rosalyn Potts and Matthew Hodgkinson. Between them they have spent more than 30 years leading product and delivery at Johnson & Johnson MedTech, Sky, ASDA, Covéa Insurance and Leeds Building Society, running multi-million pound budgets and teams of 50 or more.

We built the firm around a simple observation. Product work rarely fails for lack of ideas. It fails because nobody senior enough is making the calls, so roadmaps swell, teams stay busy and money goes into things customers never use. Our job is to make those calls with you, and then make sure they stick.

Participation Studio

Rapid research and validation that prevents expensive mistakes. When you need confidence in what to build, who it's for, and why it will work before you commit the budget.

We run focused, ethical research with customers, patients, colleagues, and clinicians, then translate it into clear decisions your team can act on. No endless synthesis. Just evidence your team can act on.

What clients say

"They gave us clarity in one morning that we hadn't found in three months. No fluff, just clear thinking and practical next steps we could action immediately."

CEO, Stealth-mode healthtech startup

"Your workshop gave us a eureka moment around the excitement and emotion of auctions. You helped us see what we'd been missing."

Questions we get asked

What does the Product Review actually cover?
Your product, roadmap, team rhythm and the customer evidence behind them. Over two weeks we interview the people who matter, look at what is being built and why, and finish with a working session with your leadership team. You leave with an honest read, the decisions that need making with our recommendation on each, and a prioritised 90 day plan.
What happens after the review?
Many teams run with the plan themselves. Others ask us to stay on as Product Leadership to see the decisions through. Either is fine. The review is designed to stand alone, and there is no pitch at the end of it.
Who leads the work?
A director, from the first call to the last. Specialists and delivery partners join when the work needs them, by name and agreed with you first. The person who understood your problem in week one is still there in month nine.
Can you scale up if the work gets bigger?
Yes. We bring in specialist associates for research, content, data and accessibility, our own research studio Participation Studio, and established delivery partners such as Hedgehog Lab for build capacity. Leadership and accountability stay with our directors throughout. How we're set up →
Do you work across sectors?
Yes. Health and medtech, retail, financial services, housing, infrastructure and the third sector. The product problems repeat across all of them: too much on the roadmap, slow decisions, and work that gets built twice.
How quickly can we start?
A Product Review can usually start within one to two weeks of a first conversation. We work remotely or on site, wherever it helps most.

Tell us what's stuck

A few lines is plenty. A director will reply within one working day with an honest view on whether a Product Review is the right start.
