Coffee & CharismaCoffee & CharismaBook a call

Product strategy, AI tooling, custom software, and brand work under one name.

One point of contact whether the job is a roadmap or a website. I've been a product manager for about ten years and an engineer before that. Panama City, FL.

I answer the same day, and I'll tell you if it's not a fit.

Services

Most work falls into one of these. If you're not sure which, that's what the first call is for.

2–6 weeks, or ongoing

AI Tooling

Skills, knowledge bases, and the rollout that gets a team using them. Then a way to tell whether it helped.

  • Claude skills and plugins built around your team's real work
  • A knowledge base your tools can read, kept in plain files your team owns
  • Rollout and training for the people who have to use it
  • A measurement plan, so you know if it's doing anything
  • Corp-OS is the open-source version of this.
4–8 weeks

Product Strategy

Discovery and requirements for a team building something new, plus the go-to-market plan.

  • Customer interviews, written up with what they mean for the build
  • A requirements doc engineering can build from
  • A roadmap with dates on it
4–6 weeks

Integrations

Connectivity strategy and partner tiering, settled before anyone writes code.

  • Partner and API landscape
  • A tiering framework so you can say no to the long tail
  • Architecture and a build plan
  • Who owns it after launch
Ongoing · 1–2 days a week

Fractional Leadership

A product lead for a team between hires, in the room and on the tools.

  • A day or two a week, on a schedule we agree up front
  • Roadmap and priorities, plus the stakeholder work that goes with them
  • Hands-on in your tools and your data
Scoped per project

Build

Full-stack builds, internal tools, and the identity work around them. Documented and handed off so you don't need me to keep it running.

  • Web apps and internal tools
  • Integrations and automation
  • Logos, identity, and websites
  • Documentation and handoff

How it works

  1. 01

    First call

    25 minutes, free. You describe the problem. I'll tell you if it's a fit and what I'd do first.

  2. 02

    Scoping

    You get a written scope with the deliverables, the timeline, and a fixed fee.

  3. 03

    Engagement

    Weekly for ongoing work, fixed-scope for projects. You're working with me directly the whole way.

A good fit

  • A team with an integration or partnership problem and nobody senior who owns it
  • A founder who needs the roadmap and the build from one person
  • A product org that has bought AI tooling and wants to know if it's doing anything

Not a fit

  • Staff augmentation
  • A spec someone else has already frozen

If that's what you need, I'll say so on the first call and try to point you at someone who does it.

Brent Gann

Six years writing software on an FDA-regulated healthcare product at NantHealth, then product management at Daxko, Splash, Crossbeam, Enable, and PlanHub, mostly integrations, marketplaces, and partner APIs.

Lately it's AI tooling, and whether any of it is measurably helping the team that bought it. I've taught at Florida State since 2013, an ethics and technology course that runs about a thousand students a year, where I lead the instructional staff. MBA, MS in computer science. I also founded Bay County Disc Golf, a 501(c)(3), and do its logos and merch.

“Writing a rule and enforcing it are two different jobs. Only the second one shows up in the numbers.”
