Our Advisory Steps
Our process is straightforward and focused on your needs. You determine the step or steps that are right for your need. Historically, these are the common entry points for advisement that have yielded the most success.
The Blank Canvas: Ideation & Landscape Analysis
The Situation: You have a business goal or a general idea for using AI, but the path isn’t clear. You’re asking: What is technically possible? What are our competitors doing? Where is the real opportunity versus the hype?
How We Help: Our Advisory Dyad acts as your strategic sounding board. The AI Innovator helps map your idea to feasible technologies, while the Domain Veteran provides context on the industry landscape and potential market fit. We help you turn a broad concept into a concrete, validated starting point.
The Mid-Project Stall: Rescue & Realignment
The Situation: A current project has lost momentum. Perhaps the data quality is poor, the results are underwhelming, or the team is stuck on a technical hurdle. The project is burning time and resources without a clear path to success.
How We Help: We provide an objective, external perspective to diagnose the core issues. Our innovator identifies potential technical pivots or alternative approaches, while our veteran reassesses if the project is still aimed at the right business problem. We help you find the most efficient way to get unstuck, whether that means refining, simplifying, or repositioning efforts.
The Reality Check: Market Fit & Functionality Review
The Situation: You have a working prototype or an early-stage product. It functions, but you’re asking: Is this truly valuable to the user? Is the solution too niche? Are we missing a key piece of functionality that would unlock broader adoption?
How We Help: We serve as your first expert-level users. The AI Innovator can assess the system’s technical robustness and its potential to expand into adjacent capabilities. The Domain Veteran provides candid feedback on how the tool fits into real-world workflows and meets genuine customer needs. This honest appraisal helps you make critical decisions before investing heavily in scaling or marketing.
