Strategy · Operations · AI — one system
Before you hire your first PM — or sign your next AI contract — talk to us. Fletching Vane installs the product discipline founders need before they scale, and helps colleges turn AI spend into governed, measurable advantage.
The Work
The shift from founder intuition to product leadership is where most teams stall. We install the operating discipline — prioritization, roadmap rigor, and a ship-measure-reinvest cadence — before you scale, so growth compounds instead of fracturing.

Most advisory work fragments the problem across three consultants who never talk. We connect strategy, execution discipline, and AI governance as a single system — because that's the only way trajectory actually holds. Tools change weekly; human instinct, integrity, and judgment don't. We keep those at the core.
The Three Vanes
A fletching vane doesn't create the shot — it corrects the flight. Our work does the same across three surfaces.

Who we serve
Install product discipline before you scale.
Make every AI dollar accountable.
Assure execution after the acquisition.
Align scarce resources to the mission.
Proprietary frameworks
A capital-allocation model for product decisions — so every roadmap bet is weighed like the investment it is.
An execution-discipline method that ties each release to a measurable outcome, then reinvests on the evidence.
The traits AI cannot replace — integrity, initiative, and ingenuity — kept at the center of how the organization runs.
Why black & white
There's a reason this site has no color.
Not everyone sees the world in color — so we don't build as if they do. Black and white reads clearly for every kind of vision. Here, accessibility isn't a finishing touch; it's the starting point.
And it's the work itself. The spectrum runs from black to white with a whole lot of grey in between — just like the decisions you actually face. We draw into sharp contrast what gets lost in the grey.
Why Fletching Vane
The founder
I founded Fletching Vane to do advisory work the way I always wished it was done — one accountable partner, outcomes over decks, and candor you can act on. Initial consultations are free, and there's never a sales pitch. If you're leaving money on the table, I'll tell you.
Nock, nock
Every shot starts with a nock — the arrow set on the string, the aim chosen. Tell us where you're headed and we'll tell you, straight, whether we can help you hit it. No pitch, no pressure, and always free to start.
