Engagements run as a 50-Day Sprint, a defined project, retained counsel or standing advisory, depending on what the moment needs.
Common questions
What is narrative intelligence?
It is research into how a company is actually perceived by the people who matter to it, compared with how it describes itself, and what to do about the difference.
Who do you interview?
Typically investors, customers, partners, board members and sometimes employees or journalists, agreed with you in advance. Interviews are confidential so people speak candidly.
How do you assess what AI tools say about a company?
We ask leading AI assistants and search tools the questions your stakeholders are likely to ask, record the answers and sources, and identify inaccuracies, gaps and patterns.
What do we receive?
A clear written account of where your story holds and where it breaks, with practical recommendations. Many clients use it as the starting point for a 50-Day Sprint.
