vs. Big Four
One charter, one principal, one fee
Where a Big Four discovery starts with a 200-page deck and a partner you will not see again, our first call ends with a one-page charter.
If you are arriving for the first time
What you can expect, in plain terms
A short read for the executive who is comparing Exec × AI against a Big Four firm or an internal build.
The editor's letter
You will leave the first call knowing whether AI is the right answer for your problem. Where it is not, we will tell you. Where it is, you receive a written charter the same day stating scope, cost, timeline and the conditions under which you would stop.
You will not see a 200-page deck. You will see a one-page charter, a 30-day proof point, and a 12-week governed deployment plan with named owners on your side and ours.
You will not buy hours. You buy a defined outcome with a fixed price and a measurable test for success.

How we compare
Three honest comparisons.
vs. internal build
Cross-firm pattern, not in-firm guesswork
Internal AI teams know your firm's plumbing better than we ever will. We bring the pattern from the twenty-three boards we have served and the audits we have answered.
vs. doing nothing
Stop where the case does not hold
Where AI is not the right answer, we will tell you. The first call ends in a written charter or a recommendation to stop. The second one is on us.
“We are written to be understood, not to impress.”
