Financial rigor and regulatory literacy are baseline expectations for executives here. Fractional CFOs and COOs are common at fintechs and at the large supplier base serving the banks.

A fractional VP Product gives you the same executive seat and product judgment on 1–3 days per week, without the base salary, equity, and benefits load of a permanent hire.
- PMs are shipping features but not outcomes
- The roadmap is a wish list, not a strategy

- Discovery and prioritization are missing
