Every engagement re-solves problems your firm has already solved_
A new analyst joins a project and spends a week getting up to speed on prior work they could have queried in 10 minutes. A proposal goes out without the strongest precedent your firm has, because nobody knew it existed. A deliverable repeats framework work the firm did three years ago for a similar client.
Off-the-shelf tools — Copilot, ChatGPT, generic knowledge bases — don't solve this. You need systems that know your firm's methodology, your precedents, and your quality standards. Custom-built, on your stack, in your jurisdiction.
What we build for consulting firms_
Engagement scoping and proposal generation
AI drafts engagement plans, scopes, and proposals from your firm's frameworks and prior work. Partners review and refine — the first draft is handled. Slashes the time from RFI to signed engagement.
Research and synthesis
Industry research, competitive intelligence, and market sizing — gathered, synthesised, and cited before the analyst opens their laptop. Quality control built in: source verification, methodology checks, fact-checking against your firm's standards.
Knowledge base RAG (precedents + frameworks)
Conversational retrieval over your firm's prior engagements, case studies, frameworks, and IP. The institutional memory of every partner, available to every analyst. Custom embeddings, citation-grounded answers, audit trails.
Slide deck and report production
AI builds board-ready decks and client reports from structured analysis. Templates respect your firm's style guide. Charts auto-generated from data. Partners spend time on the insight, not the formatting.
Client deliverable QA workflows
AI reviews deliverables against your quality standards before partner review — factual checks, source verification, style consistency, structural completeness. Partners review a tighter draft, faster.
Engagement intelligence and utilisation
AI tracks engagement progress, surfaces risks early, optimises team utilisation across the practice. Capacity is forecasted. Partner attention goes to the engagements that need it most.
How does AI fit alongside our firm's methodology? +
It augments, it doesn't replace. We build systems that apply YOUR frameworks, retrieve YOUR precedents, and produce output in YOUR templates. The methodology is yours; AI accelerates the application.
Can AI handle confidential client engagement data? +
Yes. Systems deploy on infrastructure in your jurisdiction (AWS London / US East / US West) with full encryption, audit logging, and access controls. NDA-covered engagement data never leaves your environment.
What about partner sign-off on AI-generated work product? +
Every deliverable produced by an AI system in our builds is reviewed by a partner before it reaches a client. The AI handles the first draft, the partner adds the judgement — and reviews faster because the foundation is solid.
Do you build for boutique consultancies or only large firms? +
Both. Our sweet spot is 10-200 professionals. Large enough to have meaningful overhead in research, proposal, and deliverable production; small enough to move fast on deployment. AI Readiness Diagnostic works for firms of any size.
What about ABA Model Rules / SRA / state bar equivalents for consulting? +
Consulting firms generally aren't bar-regulated, but management consulting work often touches regulated industries (legal, financial, healthcare) — we design for the strictest applicable framework. SOC 2-aligned controls for US engagements, UK GDPR for UK firms.
What's the typical ROI for consulting firms? +
Most firms recover £40-90k / $50-115k per year in time savings per 10 professionals, primarily from research automation, proposal drafting, deliverable production, and knowledge retrieval. Engagements where AI is embedded into the delivery model can deliver multiples on margin expansion.
