Methodology

How we think about AI for boutique firms.

Every engagement is shaped by three questions. The six lanes below come from combining them.

Where you are

The ladder

    Boutiques sit anywhere on this range. We meet you where you are and move at a pace that works for your firm. Most boutiques are somewhere in the middle, with Copilot turned on and nobody using it.

    Where you’re going

    The identity range

    AI-native is the conversation right now, and if that’s where you want to land, we have the methodology to get you there. Other firms prefer software to stay quiet in the background, and that’s equally valid. Where you want to land shapes what we recommend.

    How you get there

    The three moves

      We start at #1. Every time. Move to #2 when your existing setup genuinely can’t reach. #3 only when nothing commercial fits how your firm actually operates. Inside every engagement, we pick the right mix of all three.

      When any of this is more than you want to run yourselves, any lane below is us running it with you.

      Most boutiques already have 60% of the AI they need. They haven’t squeezed it yet.

      The six lanes below are where these three meet your firm’s specific situation. Scan them. Pick the one that sounds like you.
