A consulting firm sells its method. In most small firms, the method is already written down, in years of methodology and project files. The problem is getting at it. A consultant with a client question still digs through a shared drive, or pastes the background into a chatbot and explains it all again.
Some people call what fixes this an internal AI operating system. What I build is narrower and easier to check: an assistant your consultants ask in plain language, answering from your firm's own documents.
§1 A firm I am building this for
One client is a brand consultancy in Taiwan with two decades of methodology fully written down. They still answered every client question by hand. In their words, the intelligence is all there, it just isn't connected.
The assistant I am building lets their consultants ask in plain language. It answers from the firm's own methodology and project files, and shows which document each answer came from. The work is still in build, and the record of work says so.
§2 What makes it usable in a consulting firm
A consultant has to be able to stand behind what they tell a client. That is why the assistant shows which document each answer came from, so the consultant can open it and check. In the document systems I build, a question the files cannot answer gets "no record" instead of a guess, and I test for that on purpose.
On day one, this client set one rule: human judgement stays central. That shaped the whole build. The assistant finds and drafts. Deciding what to recommend to a client is still the consultant's job, and the system is designed around that.
Before you rely on it, you give me real questions your team asks, and you decide what counts as a correct answer. How that test works, and what the system can and cannot do across a large archive, is on the document archive page.
§3 Two sizes
If your firm's documents fit inside a tool you already use, such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Copilot, the Document Starter is $500 fixed and takes one week. I sort the documents, load them, test the result on thirty questions your team actually asks, and give you a written report on every answer.
If the archive goes back years, or you need search built for the firm instead of living inside a subscription, it is a separate project with its own quote and a monthly fee to keep it running. Both sizes are on the services page.
§4 To start
Tell me roughly how many documents you hold, where they live, and one question you wish your team could ask them. We prove it on a small slice first.
