A backlog is not a build plan

I turn product chaos into a clear build plan.
I’m Hovhannes. I’m building Product Clarity to help solo founders decide what belongs in v1, what can wait, and what each decision affects before more code gets written.

01 / About
Make the system clear before building it.
I turn messy product ideas into clear build plans.
Before the build starts, I pin down the audience, the smallest release worth shipping, and the decisions that affect everything else. You get one plan that both you and your AI tools can follow without guessing.
02 / Current project
In developmentProduct Clarity
A planning system for solo founders who need the whole product to make sense before they build it. It keeps the audience, MVP, flows, roadmap, and technical decisions connected in one place.
Positioning→MVP→Features→Pages→User flows→Roadmap→Dependencies→Technical structure
03 / My principles
Four rules I keep coming back to.
They keep the roadmap honest when a new idea sounds more exciting than the problem in front of me.
- 01
Clarity before code.
- 02
Build less. Make every part earn its place.
- 03
Give AI the product context, not just a ticket.
- 04
Every feature should solve a problem someone actually has.

What I’m learning as I build.
Honest notes on scope, product decisions, and the parts of AI-assisted building that get messy in practice.
What my dog taught me about building consistently
Why a dependable rhythm matters more than waiting for another perfect day to build.

Build logs beat perfect roadmaps
A short record of what actually happened is often more useful than a polished plan.

See what breaks before you build
Why a small request can break five other things, especially when an AI agent only sees the ticket.

A practical boundary between useful autonomy and expensive guessing.

Need a clearer next move?
Bring me the messy version. In one focused sprint, we'll decide what to ship, what to leave out, and how the pieces connect.
