FANtastic: from six years of scattered docs to one decision

A concert platform where the artist gives fans a role in the show: pick a song, light up the hall with their phones, and keep a memory of the night. Six years of documents, one week with AI, one honest decision.

The story

From the problem to the result.

01
Situation

Two documents, two different products

The idea started in 2016. By 2026 there was a brief, decks, an investor text, a new strategy and a fresh PRD from a technical partner. They described two different first products.

  • Six years of documents in different places
  • Market numbers that disagreed by 20×
  • No clear buyer inside a tour
02
What we built

One board in one night, then a week of checks

All documents merged into one picture. Market sizing with a bottom-up check, competitor profiles, a tour licence calculator, a crowd density simulator and a strategy-vs-PRD gap list.

  • The buyer is tour production, not the label
  • Phone light is an entry ticket, not a difference
  • Three decisions needed before the technical gate

How it works

Click through the board below

Each tab is one question: the timeline, the market, the product, the money, the decision. The sliders and calculator use the strategy's own assumptions, marked as hypotheses.

  • Timeline 2016 → 2026
  • Who decides on a tour
  • Does the hall really light up?
04
Result

An honest pause

The path to a pilot was about 70 person-weeks with five people, and revenue only after the pilot. The founders paused before committing a team, not after months of development.

  • Paused: long and expensive to launch
  • No invented traction
  • Shows how product thinking comes before code
