// FUNCTIONS / CONSULTING & ADVISORY

AI your partners would sign off on.

Clients pay for judgment, not a plausible first draft. Our consulting programs are built on one standard: every claim traces to a source, client confidentiality and IP stay protected, and nothing reaches a client without senior review.

One use case, three labs

First-draft deliverables, from idea to production.

01
Leadership Lab

Decide where AI changes delivery

Firm or practice leaders identify where AI changes staffing, pricing, turnaround and how juniors learn, and pick first-draft deliverables as a 90-day priority.

Delivery-model map and 90-day goals

02
Activation Lab

Build a synthesis skill

Consultants package a skill that turns approved notes and source material into a structured synthesis, issue tree or first-draft deliverable, using your firm’s methodology and templates.

Tested skill, shared with the team

03
Builder Lab

From source material to first draft

A project workflow gathers engagement sources, synthesizes findings with traceability, drafts the deliverable, runs your quality-review checklist and routes it to the engagement leader.

Pilot workflow with baseline vs. pilot results

// HOW WE JUDGE THE WORK

Graded against an advisory rubric, not a completion bar.

Every skill and workflow is tested before it’s shared, using thin or conflicting sources, material from other engagements and out-of-scope requests. We red-team for unsupported claims, untraceable findings and conclusions that sound more certain than the evidence allows.

Source traceability
Every finding traces to a source
Supported claims
No conclusion without evidence
Confidentiality and IP
Client material stays within the engagement
Method consistency
Your frameworks, templates and brand
Engagement scope
Answers the question the client asked
Senior review
Nothing client-facing goes out unreviewed

Advisory practitioner
