### [Technical Due Diligence for AI MVPs Before Funding](/blog/technical-due-diligence-ai-mvp/)

- **Details:** Product & MVP · 16 Jun 2026

### [The Vibe-Code Production-Readiness Checklist](/blog/vibe-code-production-readiness-checklist/)

- **Details:** Delivery & QA · 16 Jun 2026

### [Fractional CPO vs Senior PM](/blog/fractional-cpo-vs-product-manager/)

- **Details:** Leadership & Teams · 16 Jun 2026

What a fractional CPO, a senior PM, and hiring nobody yet each actually own. The PM-to-CPO progression and why most early-stage founders need none of them.

### [When to Hire a Fractional CPO](/blog/when-to-hire-fractional-cpo-austria/)

- **Details:** Leadership & Teams · 16 Jun 2026

### [AI Agent Pilot in 30/60/90 Days](/blog/ai-agent-pilot-30-60-90-days/)

- **Details:** AI & Agents · 14 Jun 2026

A serious production rollout plan for Austrian SMEs: scope and de-risk, build and shadow, then limited production and handover. The hard parts are permissions, approvals, evals, and a clean handover, not the model.
