## Working with Wavect in Graz

The Styrian Business Development Agency describes Styria as Austria’s second-strongest startup region, with a strong deep-tech and academic spin-off profile across software, industrial technology, hardware, energy, mobility, and life sciences.

Those products often begin with technical differentiation. Product leadership becomes necessary when pilot feedback, partner requests, research priorities, and a repeatable market proposition start pulling in different directions.

A fractional CPO does not decide whether the technology works. We decide which customer problem to prove, what not to build, and how a successful pilot becomes product evidence rather than permanent custom work.

// LOCAL FIT

## Two Graz situations where a fractional CPO fits

The product must already have market evidence. The role is not a substitute for founder discovery.

### A research-led product has first customers but no repeatable roadmap

The technology is strong and every pilot asks for something different. We separate product signal from one-off delivery and define the next repeatable bet.

### Industrial partners are turning the backlog into custom development

Important customers keep winning priority by size. We create explicit product criteria, discovery, and a sequence that protects the platform.

// FIRST 30 DAYS

## The first 30 days with a Graz product team

We separate technical evidence, customer evidence, and commercial pressure.

1. **Read pilots and customer behaviour** - Review interviews, usage, pilot outcomes, partner requests, sales objections, and where custom work entered the roadmap.
2. **Define the repeatable product claim** - Choose the customer problem, segment, and outcome the next quarter must prove.
3. **Create a pilot-to-product cadence** - Set discovery, prioritization, pilot acceptance, roadmap review, and rules for when custom work earns platform investment.

// ROLE CHECK

## Graz deep tech: CPO, CTO, or CTPO?

The [Fractional CPO](/services/fractional-cpo/) owns market evidence and prioritization. The [Fractional CTO Graz](/services/fractional-cto-graz/) owns technical evidence and production. The [Fractional CTPO](/services/fractional-ctpo/) owns the boundary when a product decision cannot be separated from feasibility.

// SOURCES

## What we use for Graz product context

We use these sources for local context. They do not imply a partnership, endorsement, office, or client relationship.

## Fractional CPO Graz: local questions

Turning technical differentiation into product decisions.

### Can you help us turn pilots into a repeatable product?

Yes, if the pilots have produced real customer evidence. We define the repeatable problem, identify one-off requests, set prioritization criteria, and create a roadmap that does not quietly become bespoke development.

### Do you own technical feasibility as the CPO?

No. We test product assumptions with the technical team, but architecture and engineering accountability belong to the [Fractional CTO Graz](/services/fractional-cto-graz/) or a combined [Fractional CTPO](/services/fractional-ctpo/).
