WHAT THEY DO
01
Milestones, dependencies and dates, kept current in a place you can check any day.
02
You see working software every week, which replaces most status meetings.
03
When a date is at risk, you hear it with the reason and the options, while there's still time to choose.
04
New requests are written down, sized and traded against what's already planned, so the release date means something.
05
Missing access, unanswered questions, a decision waiting on someone: the PM chases them so engineers keep building.
06
A monthly review of lead time, failure rate and uptime, so you can see if things are getting better.
SKILLS & TOOLS
HOW AI MAKES THIS ROLE FASTER
AI writes a significant share of the work. A senior engineer reviews every line before merge.
| AI drafts | Your PM decides | The gate it passes |
|---|---|---|
| Meeting notes and action items from every call | Who owns each action and by when | Shared with you the same day |
| Weekly status from tickets, merges and deploys | What's really at risk, and what to ask you | Reviewed against the weekly demo |
| Estimates broken down from user stories | Which estimates to trust and where to add buffer | Tech lead sign-off |
| Release notes from merged pull requests | What your users need to hear | Product owner approval |
That's why every merge here goes past a senior engineer, and why client code is never used to train models.
It's the same rhythm on every project: Week 1 scope, working software in Week 2, production from Week 6.

A tech lead plus your PM inside your repo, your Slack and your sprint rituals. Bigger teams are quoted to fit.

HIRING VS. SOCIILABS
| Hiring your own | Working with SociiLabs | |
|---|---|---|
| Time to first contribution | A search, interviews, notice period, then onboarding | Contributing in 15 days |
| If it doesn't work out | 46% of new hires fail within 18 months (Leadership IQ) | We replace the engineer, handover time isn't billed, and you keep the code and history |
| Who reviews the code | Whoever you already have | A senior engineer, on every merge |
| How AI is used | Depends on the person | AI in the loop on every task, behind a review gate |
| Commitment | Salary, benefits, equity | Monthly retainer or a block of hours |
