What was covered in this article?

The International Business Times article covers three subjects. First, where business consultants lose time: the analysis layer, between gathering information and producing a recommendation. Second, how StratEngine AI produces complete framework-based strategic analysis rather than drafts a consultant then has to finish. Third, how a product run by one person handles the confidential business information clients bring to it.

StratEngine AI is a strategy research product built and operated by Eric, founder of Eric Grows Companies. A user brings a hard business question and the engine researches the answer into a sourced strategy brief.
