# DeepWind

> Catch the wind. The product operating system for teams that ship.

DeepWind is an AI-native product management platform built around steady momentum — not reactive sprints. It connects strategy to execution through Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration, giving Claude structured access to your backlog, velocity data, competitive signals, and strategic objectives. The result: AI-powered prioritization, automated brief drafting, competitive analysis, and continuous drift detection grounded in your actual product reality.

## Pam — DeepWind's AI persona

Pam is the in-product AI assistant who speaks for every AI-generated suggestion, brief draft, prioritization re-score, and roadmap explanation DeepWind surfaces. Pam is helpful, direct, and factual — she leads with numbers (WSJF scores, capacity percentages, sprint deltas), never hedges, and never narrates her own existence. She uses DeepWind vocabulary: brief, backlog, WSJF, roadmap, squad, loop, ship, drift, blocker. She signs automated emails with "— Pam" and the subject prefix "Pam:". The accentTop card variant (3px bright-teal top rule) is her visual signature in product surfaces.

## Curriculum (the DeepWind Playbook)

Self-paced learning material across multiple tracks. Each module ships
schema.org LearningResource JSON-LD for AI ingestion and is freely accessible.

- [Your Day With DeepWind — a quickstart day-in-the-life](https://deepwind.ai/curriculum/your-day-with-capeable) (PM Track, 15 min): Three daily flows. Pam handles the moving. You handle the judgment. Morning VOC triage (5-15 min), midday Brief authoring (15-30 min when needed), end-of-sprint outcome review (10-20 min weekly).
- [The PM Role Through Three Eras](https://deepwind.ai/curriculum/three-eras) (PM Track, 20 min): Waterfall → Agile → Adaptive AI. Why each era reshaped the PM role, and why the third era is materially different from the second. Anchored in McKinsey 2025 (5.5% of orgs ship measurable AI value, defined by their ability to attribute outcomes) and DORA 2024 (partial AI adoption reduced delivery stability by 7.2%).
- [The PM's Actual Problems](https://deepwind.ai/curriculum/pms-actual-problems) (PM Track, 15 min): Where PM friction actually lives — fragmented context, attribution debt, status performance theater — and why most tools sold as solutions address adjacent symptoms instead of the underlying problem.
- [Sprints → Loops: What Adaptive AI Adds](https://deepwind.ai/curriculum/sprints-to-loops) (PM Track, 20 min): Story → Brief, Sprint → Loop. The transition tables, with three-source convergence: Anthropic Engineering on harness discipline, GitHub on developer-AI patterns, DORA on delivery-loop telemetry.
- [The Loop Master Role](https://deepwind.ai/curriculum/loop-master-role) (PM Track, 15 min): The new role proposal — the structural position Scrum Master held in the Agile era. What the role actually does day-to-day, what it is NOT, the skills profile, and how it partners with the PM.
- [Planning ↔ Engineering in the Loop Era](https://deepwind.ai/curriculum/planning-engineering) (PM Track, 10 min): Three handoff modes — mechanized, hybrid, judgment-defended. When the handoff becomes a tool call vs when it stays a conversation. With the failure modes for picking the wrong mode.
- [Closed-Loop in Practice](https://deepwind.ai/curriculum/closed-loop-case-study) (PM Track, 10 min): What the closed loop looks like at the day-to-day level, using DeepWind as one concrete implementation. Honest expectations, what the loop does and does not buy you, and a skeptic's reading guide for evaluating any closed-loop platform.
- [Platform Overview](https://deepwind.ai/curriculum/platform-overview) (Builder Track, 15 min): The full DeepWind strategic-execution platform on one diagram — governance, orchestration, work-tracker integrations, the 8-stage execution loop. Includes the Harness Ecosystem section (CLAUDE.md, hooks, skills, plugins, MCP, subagents, LSP).
- [The Brief Lifecycle](https://deepwind.ai/curriculum/brief-lifecycle) (Builder Track, 15 min): 9 states, 9 lifecycle events, 3 human gates. How the AutoDoneVerificationService flips Brief status from observable verification signals — not a human checkbox.
- [Setting Up Your First Harness](https://deepwind.ai/curriculum/harness-setup) (Builder Track, 10 min read · then run 5 commands): Align on what to build, then five slash commands. The harness handles discovery, planning, review, dispatch, and execution autonomously. Finish with /goal Complete Harness and e2e testing.
- [Outcome Attribution & Recalibration](https://deepwind.ai/curriculum/outcome-attribution) (Builder Track, 15 min): The closed loop competitors can't easily copy: AR(1) recalibration, smarter next-sprint priorities, outcomeHook on every Brief tied back to the strategic objective.
- [Governance & Trust for the Enterprise](https://deepwind.ai/curriculum/governance-trust) (Builder Track, 15 min): Designed compliance-first, not bolted on. Tenant isolation at the database via RLS, 13-role RBAC, append-only audit log, SOC2 alignment.
- [The Pitch — Why This Matters](https://deepwind.ai/curriculum/the-pitch) (Builder Track, 10 min): Today's pain + DeepWind's structural answer, row by row. The 60-second elevator + the 90-second platform thesis the founder uses on calls.
- [Reading the Outcome Attribution Report](https://deepwind.ai/curriculum/exec-outcome-attribution-report) (Executive Track, 8 min): What an Outcome Attribution Report (OAR) is, the four sections you see on every one, the three questions to ask each quarter, and how NOT to misread it. Weeks-not-quarters early warning on strategic drift.
- [Sponsoring AI Adoption (the Right Way)](https://deepwind.ai/curriculum/exec-sponsoring-ai-adoption) (Executive Track, 8 min): How to sponsor AI adoption without triggering DORA's 7.2% delivery-stability drop. The sponsorship decision tree, the four sponsorship anti-patterns, and what visible-CEO-support actually looks like in 2026.
- [Talking to the Board About AI Development](https://deepwind.ai/curriculum/exec-board-conversation) (Executive Track, 5 min): The 5-slide board update for closed-loop AI adoption. What the numbers actually mean, the three questions the board will ask, and how to answer the one you don't want to hear.
- [ROI + Lock-in (the Long Game)](https://deepwind.ai/curriculum/exec-roi-and-lock-in) (Executive Track, 4 min): How to evaluate closed-loop ROI beyond year-one savings. The lock-in shapes (data, workflow, vendor), the compounding curve, and the exit-cost math that should inform the original buy.
- [The Pitch (60s / 3min / 5min)](https://deepwind.ai/curriculum/gtm-the-pitch) (GTM Track, 10 min): Three pitch versions for three audiences — CEO elevator (60s), CTO discovery (3min), security/procurement (5min). Beat structures grounded in Gong + Dunford research. When to switch mid-conversation.
- [Discovery Questions for Each Persona](https://deepwind.ai/curriculum/gtm-discovery-questions) (GTM Track, 8 min): The actual question scripts to use with PMs, engineering leaders, CFOs, and CISOs. Problem-shaped openings + the disqualification questions you should never skip.
- [Demo Flow](https://deepwind.ai/curriculum/gtm-demo-flow) (GTM Track, 10 min): A Dunford-aligned demo (not a feature tour). The 7-beat arc, where the most demos fail (minute 4-7), and the "show, don't tell" moments that close.
- [Objection Handling (Extended)](https://deepwind.ai/curriculum/gtm-objection-handling) (GTM Track, 10 min): The 12 most common objections — 7 evergreen + 5 AI-era specific to 2026. Two-line answers for each + the deeper reframe when the buyer pushes back.
- [Pricing Conversation](https://deepwind.ai/curriculum/gtm-pricing-conversation) (GTM Track, 4 min): Ramanujam-style pricing scripts. How to anchor, how to defend, and the three numbers to never share. The discount-on-multi-year math that closes 70% of stuck deals.
- [Competitive Positioning](https://deepwind.ai/curriculum/gtm-competitive-positioning) (GTM Track, 3 min): How to position against GitHub Spec Kit, Anthropic's harness, LangChain agents, and (soon) every closed-loop entrant. The Dunford "alternatives, differentiated value, ideal customer" frame applied to DeepWind.

- [1,000 story points. One engineer. One sprint.](https://deepwind.ai/friends/2026-06-01-the-absorption-incident): We crossed a line this week we weren't sure we'd hit this year. What 1,000 SP/contributor/sprint means, and the structural bet that made it possible — connecting AI agents to real work items.

## Key Differentiators

- **Pam AI persona**: Drafts briefs from VOC overnight, re-scores WSJF when blockers shift, explains roadmap drift — so PMs spend their week on strategy, not busywork
- **MCP integration**: Claude has structured access to backlog, velocity, competitive data, and strategic objectives — no context window stuffing required
- **Multi-framework prioritization**: WSJF, SAFe, SVPG, Pragmatic Institute applied simultaneously; re-scored automatically when dependencies or signals change
- **Strategy-to-execution alignment**: Continuous scoring with automated drift detection — surfaces risk before it becomes a miss
- **Team-based pricing**: $29–79/team/month (not per-user)
- **Integration model**: Connects to Jira, Linear, Asana — no migration required
- **Tagline**: "Catch the wind."
