Will it replace junior consultants?

It changes what juniors do (less mechanical writing, more analysis + judgment) but doesn't replace them. The judgment layer is where the value is; that stays human.

How does it handle industry-specific analysis?

Reasonably well for common industries (tech, finance, consumer, healthcare general). For deeply specialized industries (aerospace supply chain, pharma clinical dev), verify the reasoning against real domain experts.

Does it know consulting-firm-specific frameworks?

It knows the widely-published ones (MECE, 2×2s, McKinsey and BCG classics). Firm-proprietary methodologies you'll need to explain in the prompt.

FRAMEWORKS

The 2×2 you'd otherwise draw on a napkin.

Describe the decision or landscape. Get a framework structured usefully, plus what the axes should be. Not a substitute for your thinking; a scaffold for it.

Framework for evaluating whether a client should build vs buy a specific software capability. Two-axis, name the axes.

CLIENT MEMOS

The one-page memo that makes the recommendation stick.

Paste your reasoning + the recommendation. Get a memo structured for how executives read: recommendation up top, reasoning in the middle, next steps at the bottom.

Memo recommending client kill their planned mobile app. Reasoning: they don't have the engineering headcount, mobile analytics show only 12% of usage, opportunity cost of building it costs the web experience 6 months of neglect.

PROPOSAL DRAFTS

The proposal that closes.

Draft the SOW: scope, timeline, deliverables, price, terms. In the register the client expects. Edit for their specific voice.

SOW draft for a 12-week strategy engagement. Scope: competitive analysis + 3-year strategic roadmap. Team: 1 partner, 1 senior consultant. Fee $180K.

WHY THIS EXISTS

Consulting is billable-hour writing. LADLE 3-4x's the writing throughput. $8/mo of your subscription funds meals through WFP.

Questions.

Anonymize aggressively. Client names, revenue figures, unannounced strategies — don't paste. General fact patterns and abstracted problem shapes are fine.
