Every paid Assessment includes a reasoned recommendation, the alternatives and an action plan, reviewed by a consultant before you receive them.

AI Jungle

AI consulting shaped by the industry you serve.

Your firm's business model determines the workflow. Your client's sector determines what evidence, permissions and professional review that workflow needs.

A consultant with a notebook considers a workshop, laboratory, office and shop, representing different client industries.
The sector changes the evidence your team needs.

Each sector below names what changes for a consulting workflow and a first test to run. Start with approved examples; the engagement then decides what can be connected and who validates it. Looking for your own trade rather than your clients’ sector? See the AI pages by industry.

AI consulting for professional services

Repeatable client briefs, proposals, source gathering and follow-up.

What changes by sector

Running a hotel or a rental business yourself rather than advising one? Read AI for independent hotels or AI for short-term rental managers.

Define industry-specific AI permissions and human review.

  1. Prepare the workApproved sources become a draft with evidence and open questions.
  2. A person reviewsYour responsible reviewer checks the facts and makes the decision.
  3. Approve the next stepOnly the agreed output moves into the next part of the process.
  • State the output and the decisions it is allowed to support.
  • Name the sources, permissions and people allowed to see the output.
  • Choose a qualified reviewer and an escalation path for missing evidence.
  • Test difficult examples, not only the normal path.
  • Compare correction time and operating cost with the existing process.

Use the guide by consulting firm type to choose a first workflow, then try the workflow chooser.

Written by Loïc Guyon (Tileo). Updated 13 September 2026. Sector-specific requirements are established with your team and advisers during scoping.

Assess the first AI workflow for your consulting firm.

Start with the free brief: three questions about one process, and Loïc reads it before your 30-minute call. The Leverage Assessment then examines the process, tools and review needs, and recommends a smaller change, a first workflow to test, or waiting.
