Operational maturity without enterprise bureaucracy.
Neutral Working helps founder-led teams see clearly, decide faster, ship better, and automate the coordination work that slows them down.
How I work
Three ways to bring me in, depending on where you are.
Done with you
You have the team. You need clarity, prioritisation, and a plan that survives contact with reality.
- → Product Clarity Sprint
- → AI Operations Setup
Done for you
You have the work. You need someone to own the backlog, write the tickets, run the delivery, and build the automations.
- → Backlog Rescue
- → Automation Build
- → Fractional PO Retainer
Done in crisis
You have a launch in three weeks and it's not going to make it. Or a backlog nobody understands. Or a project that has quietly stopped moving.
- → Launch Readiness Sprint

About
I'm Luke. I spent years in QA and development before moving into product ownership. I run Neutral Working from Czechia and work with clients across the UK, EU, and remote-friendly teams elsewhere.
I'm also building my own products — a football management roguelike, a scouting platform, and an e-commerce site — which means I know what it's like to be on the other side of the brief.
