for advisory & consulting firms · white-label channel

Offer frontier AI build capability — under your brand.

Your clients increasingly ask AI questions you can't yet staff. Rather than turning the work away or referring it out, you deliver it — scoped, built, and handed over inside your own engagement, by someone who stays behind your brand.

the bind

The client wants an AI answer inside a live mandate. Building a bench for it is slow, expensive, and risky if the pipeline is uneven.

the usual move

Refer it out — and watch a generalist tech shop sit between you and your client, owning the relationship you built.

the alternative

A specialist who delivers under your name, defers to your relationship, and disappears when the work is done.

what becomes yours to offer

Productized modules that slot into your existing engagements — priced so you can quote them with confidence.

01
AI-diligence module
For M&A / advisory mandates

A fixed-scope read on an AI target or an AI angle inside a deal: where value is real, what it costs, and what the risks are. Delivered as a working artifact your client can interrogate, not a maturity grid.

02
Value-creation build
For portfolio / operating work

The specific AI system an operating company needs, built to its data and handed over. Slots into a value-creation plan as a line your firm can stand behind and measure.

03
Geopolitical & supply-chain risk
For commodity-linked diligence

Asset-level, scenario-conditional risk scoring that shows its work — the Cardinal Intelligence method, run inside your engagement for a commodity-exposed target.

04
Evaluation & governance layer
For regulated environments

The trust layer most builds skip: measuring whether a model’s output is actually supported, and gating it before it informs a decision. Privilege-aware variants for legal and banking contexts.

how I slot in
Step 01
You hold the relationship

The client is yours. I never appear in front of them unless you choose to introduce me.

Step 02
We scope together

I translate the client's question into a buildable spec and a fixed deliverable you can price.

Step 03
I build under your brand

Delivery, documentation, and handover carry your name. Principal-led; a vetted bench scales larger builds.

Step 04
I step back

The client keeps a system your team can run. The credit, and the next conversation, stay with you.

the posture
Non-circumvention by default. Your clients are off-limits for direct solicitation. The channel works because that line is firm.
White-label or co-branded. Fully behind your name, or a named technical partner — your call, per engagement.
Engagement shape is yours. Hourly, retainer, or fixed for a defined deliverable — set per engagement, not pre-packaged.
where I go deep

The domains hardest to staff from a general bench — regulated finance, the public sector, and commodity supply chains — carried under your name.

01
Financial institutions & fintech

Buy-side and FIG from the inside — TMT M&A at Goldman Sachs, a distressed-bank restructuring inside a national banking system, and an AI-underwriting lender built and exited.

02
Government & governance-adjacent

Constitutional-AI standards for a monetary authority, interpretability for national digital infrastructure, treaty-compliance verification for a space agency.

03
Commodities & physical supply chains

Asset-level geopolitical and supply-chain risk across mining, shipping, and agriculture — diligence that connects a model to a physical exposure.

the differentiator

One person who can sit in the deal conversation and build the system it calls for — then prove it can be trusted — not a strategy deck handed off to a separate build team.
