Use Consultant when the work needs a decision path, not just a summary
Start from the same source pack you already use in Gixo Business. Ask first, review the source forecast, then choose Consultant when the work needs options, criteria, trade-offs, or follow-up questions — or build a separate decision artifact from the same case.
Choose Consultant when
- The work needs a recommendation path, not just a summary.
- Options, criteria, and trade-offs need to stay explicit.
- Missing inputs should trigger follow-up questions before output.
- You also want a decision table inside the report, or a separate decision artifact in Gixo Prism from the same business question.
See a finished Consultant report
A 15-page case report generated on 3 October 2026 from three public FTC guides and exported unedited. A sample, not verified advice. PDF · Word
Recommendation and evidence labels
The decision first, then statements in the analysis labelled Fact, Inference or Assumption.
Implementation roadmap
Four phases, from an inventory to a tested incident response plan, drawn in the same report.
How it starts
A real decision, the available options, the evaluation criteria, the constraints, and the source material already on hand.
How it thinks
The workflow chooses the case shape, forecasts source quality, asks for missing inputs, and keeps reasoning visible before the recommendation draft is written.
What stays visible
Facts, assumptions, trade-offs, confidence, and disclaimers stay explicit instead of getting buried in polished prose or disconnected supporting files.
Best-fit cases
- Go/no-go decisions with explicit constraints
- Market-entry and vendor-choice cases
- Portfolio prioritization and sequencing
- Operating-model and capability trade-offs
Product boundary
- Use Brief mode when you need a checked summary from documents.
- Use Briefing Decks when you need slides from the same source pack.
- Use Consultant when the work needs options, criteria, trade-offs, and a recommendation draft.
- Use the Business planner first when you want the route, source forecast, and verification gate before choosing the artifact.
- Decision artifacts are made in Gixo Prism and can use the same Gixo Business source pack.
- Does not replace executive judgment or professional responsibility.
See the Business controls before you use them
Actual controls captured on 10 October 2026 with fictional, manually supplied material. These examples show planning, review and editing actions, plus deterministic calculations. Each caption states what was completed. Paid controls require current Business access and the appropriate content role.
Make options and criteria explicit
Consultant intake with three fictional options and four criteria. Working notes are assumptions; source import, case planning and recommendation generation were not submitted.
Keep missing source coverage visible
The filled Consultant intake still shows zero linked imports and no built case plan. Entering working notes does not make them imported evidence.
