Business Strategy Consultant-AI strategy consultant

Example

Convert a vague client request—"growth is slowing"—into a concrete problem statement: e.g., "Quarterly revenue growth fell from 12% to 3% over 6 months; objective is to restore to 10% within 12 months while maintaining >20% gross margin."

Scenario

A regional retail chain reports slowing same-store sales. The assistant helps define scope (stores, geographies, product categories), determines the key performance indicators to diagnose (traffic, conversion, basket size, product mix, pricing elasticity), and proposes an investigation plan (data pulls, store visits, competitor price checks).

Example

Create a MECE issue tree that breaks a profitability problem into revenue drivers (price, volume, mix) and cost drivers (COGS, SG&A, logistics), and map hypotheses to data sources and tests.

Scenario

A manufacturing business sees margin compression. The assistant builds an issue tree, prioritizes hypotheses (raw material inflation, process yields, pricing slippage), and designs quick tests (sample costing, supplier quotes, production-line time studies) to confirm root causes.

Example

Estimate demand for a new B2B SaaS module by combining bottom-up (addressable customer counts × penetration rates × ARPA) and top-down approaches, and reconcile the two with sensitivity ranges.

Scenario

A fintech startup debating expansion into SME payroll services: the assistant produces TAM estimates, identifies addressable segments by firm size and geography, and models conservative/likely/aggressive uptake scenarios to inform go/no-go decisions.

Example

Produce a competitor matrix showing product features, pricing tiers, distribution channels, customer testimonials, and gaps—then propose clear differentiation moves based on uncovered white space.

Scenario

A healthcare device company needs to position a lower-cost alternative against incumbent devices. The assistant maps incumbents’ feature sets, regulatory status, reimbursement pathways, and channel relationships, and recommends a positioning and pricing strategy to win non-consumption segments.

Example

Translate product capabilities into monetization options (subscription, usage-based, freemium, licensing, hybrid) and model the P&L and unit economics for each to identify the most viable option.

Scenario

A media brand with strong audience but low monetization explores paid newsletters, memberships, and events. The assistant builds revenue scenarios, forecasts churn and LTV, estimates required conversion rates, and recommends a phased monetization roadmap.

Example

Design a GTM plan that specifies target segments, ICPs, value propositions, sales motion (inside sales, field sales, channel partners), sample customer journey, KPIs (CAC, payback period), and a 12-month acquisition budget allocation.

Scenario

A B2B SaaS product preparing to expand internationally: the assistant recommends which country to prioritize (based on demand, competitive intensity, regulatory friction), the optimal entry channel (local reseller vs. direct), pricing localization, and a 6–12 month pilot plan with measurable targets.

Example

Build an integrated model that captures revenue drivers, cost structure, cash flow, capex, working capital, and runs sensitivity analysis for key variables (growth rate, churn, gross margin). Provide IRR/NPV and break-even analysis.

Scenario

Private equity evaluating a bolt-on acquisition: the assistant constructs a three-scenario financial model (base/optimistic/downside), models synergies by line item (procurement, SG&A consolidation), and calculates payback and required divestment triggers.

Example

Turn strategic recommendations into a time-phased roadmap with milestones, owners, resource estimates, OKRs, and risk mitigations. Provide templates for weekly/monthly review to keep execution on track.

Scenario

A bank launching a digital transformation: the assistant lays out a 24-month roadmap (MVP, scalability, integrations, compliance), assigns functional owners, identifies critical-path dependencies (core banking integrations), and sets measurable quarterly OKRs.

Example

Create stakeholder maps, communication plans, resistance mitigation strategies, and tailored messaging for executives, managers, and front-line staff to secure adoption.

Scenario

Following a restructuring, a telecom operator needs to implement new sales incentives. The assistant drafts a stakeholder engagement plan, builds training modules, and scripts executive comms to minimize attrition and uptime risk.

Example

Provide a decision matrix that lists strategic options, quantitative and qualitative trade-offs, risk scores, and a recommendation with 'if-then' guardrails (what to do if X or Y happens).

Scenario

A C-suite must choose between expanding product lines versus doubling down on core markets. The assistant evaluates each option across strategic fit, EBITDA impact, investment required, and timing, and proposes contingency triggers and monitoring KPIs.

Example

Draft an RFP with prioritized requirements, scoring rubric, SLA expectations, evaluation matrix, and negotiation playbook; compare vendor proposals and recommend the best fit based on weighted criteria.

Scenario

An enterprise selecting a new ERP: the assistant prepares the RFP, defines must-have vs. nice-to-have criteria, creates a scoring model that weights functional fit, TCO, implementation risk, and vendor support, and produces an executive recommendation.

Example

Deliver reusable templates (issue trees, hypothesis trackers, slide templates, sample data requests, interview guides) and train teams to use them through example-based coaching.

Scenario

An in-house strategy team wants to adopt a more rigorous approach to projects. The assistant supplies templates, runs a workshop on hypothesis-driven problem solving, and reviews real deliverables to give improvement feedback.
