Frequently Asked Questions

Speed, Cost, and AI Specialization. Traditional research and analysis engagements may take 6-12 weeks and can cost $200K+. We deliver comprehensive strategic analysis in hours for significantly less cost.

Unlike traditional research and analysis which may typically apply 1-2 familiar frameworks, our AI advisory teams simultaneously deploy 8+ proven methodologies including Porter's Five Forces, Blue Ocean Strategy, Lean Six Sigma, and established organizational frameworks.

You get multiple cross-domain AI specialist collaborating in real-time versus 2-3 resources working sequentially. Plus, we provide 99.7% attribution precision so you know exactly which AI specialist contributed what insight.

We don't hide them — we catch them and label them.

Traditional AI tools present everything with equal confidence, mixing verified facts with fabricated details. You're left guessing what's real. That's a problem when you're making important decisions.

AI Advisor Lab takes a fundamentally different approach:

• ✓ Verified — Based on your provided data, documents, or established facts
• ~ Estimated — Analytical calculations or pattern-based inferences with reasoning shown
• ? Assumption — Industry standards or logical inferences that require your validation
• ⚠ Flagged — Low-confidence claims where we've identified potential hallucination risk

Additionally, our teams of AI specialists cross-validate each other's work. When one AI specialist makes a claim, others verify it — catching errors that single-perspective AI would miss.

The result: You get the speed and cost benefits of AI without the trust problem. Every insight shows its source, so you always know what you can act on with confidence — and what needs your review first.

You don't have to trust blindly — you can verify.

Most AI asks you to take its word for it. We think that's backwards, especially for important business decisions. That's why we built AI Advisor Lab to show its work:

• Every insight is labeled — You see exactly what's verified from data, what's an analytical estimate, and what's an assumption requiring your validation
• Every recommendation is attributed — You know which AI specialist contributed each insight and what framework they applied
• Every assumption is disclosed — No hidden premises or unstated conclusions
• Confidence levels are shown — We tell you when we're certain and when we're not

Think of it like the difference between a colleague who says "trust me" versus one who says "here's my reasoning, here's my data, here's what I'm assuming — what do you think?"

We designed AI Advisor Lab for the second approach. You make the final decision. We give you the transparency to make it with confidence.

Our AI advisory platform serves organizations across multiple segments:

• C-Suite Executives: Board-level strategy, M&A analysis, digital transformation roadmaps
• Strategy Teams: Market analysis, competitive intelligence, strategic planning acceleration

• Mid-Market Business Owners: Growth strategy, operational efficiency, market expansion
• Professional Services Firms: Practice expansion, client engagement optimization

Essentially, any organization that needs specialized research and analysis but can't justify the cost and timeline of traditional research and analysis.

We apply multiple strategic frameworks based on AI Advisor team focus and use simultaneously to ensure comprehensive analysis...here is a sample:

• Porter's Five Forces: Competitive dynamics and industry structure
