summary
Company moves from bespoke onboarding to a cookie‑cutter model to scale a service business into SaaS, backed by a new service design team and a nascent product operations function to capture repeatable processes and faster feedback loops; platform teams separate infrastructure from feature squads to avoid customer-impacting failures; data, feature, process and organizational debt surface as concrete problems; hiring scales fast — 3,000 customers and a team that doubled PM count to 32 in eight months drive the operational changes described.
