Frame the decision
Name the audience, requested decision and source pack. Review imported tables and extracted text; record gaps instead of allowing a polished narrative to conceal them.
Prepare consulting deliverables from a defined client question and selected source material. Business drafts structured briefs and attempts source-based number reconciliation where evidence is present. Repair can retain original figures, and citation markers can be missing; check material claims and source passages before client delivery.
An AI brief for consultants is a client-ready market analysis, competitive intelligence, or strategy brief generated by AI and run through a multi-stage pipeline — including Brand Dictionary term checks and, when you upload sources, number checks and automatic inline citations — before it reaches you. Describe the client question and intended audience, add the sources you want to use, and review the proposed outline and missing evidence before generating. Evidence-oriented briefs can contain inline [1], [2] references to uploaded files and a Sources section. The model can omit markers, so inspect the cited passage and add missing references before delivery. That makes the review faster; it does not remove it. The source forecast and verification gate are review aids, not independent fact-checking. Reviewers must confirm important claims, figures, assumptions, and recommendations against authoritative sources.
Inspect an actual Business report. A readable decision brief needs the question, supplied evidence, options, assumptions and next decision—not just a shorter source document.
A decision, options compared on stated criteria, risks and a roadmap, with statements in the analysis labelled Fact, Inference or Assumption. The decision, lists and some summary sentences carry no label.
Business question: Which actions should a small business that stores customer personal information take first to protect it and to be ready if it is exposed? Decision maker: The owner of a small business. Timeframe: The next quarter. Context: A small business collects customer personal information and keeps it in paper files and on computers. It has no dedicated security staff. Refer to it as 'the business' throughout and do not give it a name. Options: Take stock of the personal information it keeps and where it is stored; Reduce what it keeps to what the business needs; Lock down the information it keeps with practical safeguards; Prepare a plan for responding to a data breach. Criteria: How much personal information at risk it removes or protects; How realistic it is for a small team without security specialists; How well it limits the harm if information is exposed. Constraints: No dedicated security staff; Limited time and budget.

Name the audience, requested decision and source pack. Review imported tables and extracted text; record gaps instead of allowing a polished narrative to conceal them.
Separate supplied facts, calculated values, assumptions and recommendations. For variance work, reconcile the period, unit, baseline and actual value before interpreting the direction of a difference.
Use options, trade-offs, risks and named next actions. Review the final artifact and, when using Analyst calculations, inspect the calculation evidence separately from the narrative.
Select source documents, case context, working notes, assumptions, options and decision constraints before generation. Inspect claims, metrics, exact quotations, source tables and conflicting figures. Review decisions are scoped to the source or artifact and can become stale after evidence changes; unresolved evidence should stay visible.
Keep investment, recurring costs, benefits, delays, growth, discount assumptions and scenario probabilities explicit. Inspect deterministic cash flow and the available return, payback and sensitivity outputs. Compare scenarios before selection, and inspect the formula workbook or calculation receipt separately from the narrative recommendation.
Inspect the dossier's source tables, working rows and columns, calculation ledger and workbook handoff. Metric packs retain reviewable calculation and source context. Preview source replacements for a new period before accepting them. Execution records distinguish an action owner, baseline, target, measured value, data source and the reason for a status change.
A calculation can be replayable while the supplied inputs remain wrong. A generated report is decision support, not independent diligence, audit assurance or investment advice.
Deliver more value to more clients. Every brief passes a multi-stage pipeline, with number checks whenever it has sources, and lands in a block-based editor where you refine with inline AI tools.
Business attempts to reconcile figures in a sourced brief with the uploaded material. Check market definitions, periods, growth-rate denominators and financial assumptions yourself. An unrepaired figure or a citation marker is not a verified client claim.
Add your client's or your firm's preferred and banned terms to your Brand Dictionary. After generation, Gixo replaces banned terms with your preferred wording across the brief; it is a whole-word term check, so review tone and formatting against client expectations yourself before you deliver.
Use supported KPI, checklist, steps, pros-and-cons and comparison blocks to structure the client deliverable. Inspect the saved document and exported formatting, including tables and references, before delivery.
Describe the client question and intended audience, add the sources you want to use, and review the proposed outline and missing evidence before generating. Serve clients across industries without needing specialist teams for each domain.
Refine any section with Quick AI (Rewrite, Simplify or Expand on selected text) or Power Edit for full AI dialog, including grammar and tone changes. Polish deliverables without leaving the editor.
On Business Professional or higher, authorized colleagues can comment on and review the saved client brief. Keep the reviewed version clear across offices, confirm role and sharing permissions, and resolve save conflicts before client delivery.
A market-size figure needs its definition, date and source, and a growth rate needs the correct period and denominator. Business can organize supplied evidence into a consulting draft, apply supported terminology rules, attempt number reconciliation and surface generated-draft Evidence and citation findings. Repair can retain original wording, and the model can omit or misplace a marker. Open the cited passage and resolve unsupported claims before the deliverable reaches a client.
The most forward-thinking consulting practices treat AI-generated briefs not as a shortcut but as a force multiplier. Describe the client question and intended audience, add the sources you want to use, and review the proposed outline and missing evidence before generating. The block-based editor with 20+ semantic blocks — KPIs, checklists, steps, pros/cons — gives deliverables the structured formatting clients expect from top firms. Add inline AI editing with Quick AI for rapid adjustments and Power Edit for deeper rewrites, comments and saved-draft review on Business Professional or higher for authorized colleagues, and saved workspaces to reuse source documents across engagements. The firms that adopt these tools early are positioning themselves to serve more clients at higher margins.
Describe the client question and intended audience, add the sources you want to use, and review the proposed outline and missing evidence before generating. Upload client documents or industry reports into a saved workspace so you can reuse them across engagements.
Business drafts from the reviewed outline and selected sources, with supported structure and terminology checks. Source-based number reconciliation is best effort and may retain original figures. Review the generated-draft Evidence findings and numbered citation markers against the original files before accepting the analysis.
Structure your deliverable with 20+ semantic blocks. Use Quick AI for instant edits or Power Edit for deeper rewrites. On Business Professional or higher, authorized colleagues can comment on and review the saved draft. Resolve save conflicts before delivery.
Preview the exported PDF and inspect its formatting, citations and important figures. Confirm the reviewed saved version before delivery; export does not make the source evidence or conclusion correct.
| Evaluation area | Gixo Business | What to check in traditional consulting-document workflows |
|---|---|---|
| Job and inputs | Draft a client document from the evidence you supply; review the analysis and recommendation yourself. | Test the current product or scoped service against the same question, sources and deliverable. |
| Evidence review | Inspect source coverage, uploaded-file citation markers and generated-draft Evidence and citation findings. | Check source support and current research capabilities; a citation alone does not confirm the conclusion. |
| Revision and delivery | Edit the brief, retain saved versions and review the final export. | Test the actual review, collaboration, version and export workflow you need. |
| Timing and responsibility | Generation time varies with the job and source pack; accountable people review the result. | Compare the agreed scope and review responsibilities rather than assume fixed speed or price. |
From boutique advisories to Big Four engagement teams, AI briefs fit into every consulting workflow.
