Question 1

What is Decision Validation?

Accepted Answer

Decision Validation is the discipline of testing whether a strategic decision is trustworthy before execution embeds it into people, process, technology, or AI. Most organizations validate outcomes; AI Advisory Group validates the reasoning, because execution scales whatever decision comes before it.

Question 2

What does AI Advisory Group do?

Accepted Answer

AI Advisory Group works in the gap between the AI a business has bought or built and the return it has not seen. Engagements run in four stages — Assess, Apply and Delete, Accelerate, Automate — in that order, because most owners start at Automate and end up automating work that should not exist. The 5D Process is the method inside the Apply and Delete stage.

Question 3

What is a Decision Clarity Call?

Accepted Answer

A focused 30-minute conversation to understand where you are, what you're deciding, and whether AI Advisory Group is the right partner to help. No pitch, no obligation.

Question 4

Who does AI Advisory Group work with?

Accepted Answer

Owner-led businesses and executive teams working through a transition: rapid growth, a decision about where AI belongs, an AI implementation already underway, a change in ownership, or a major transformation.

Question 5

Does AI Advisory Group resell software or take fees from vendors?

Accepted Answer

No. AI Advisory Group does not resell software and does not take referral or vendor fees — no licence margin, no commission on anyone's platform. The recommendation is not the revenue model, which is what makes it a second opinion rather than a sales call.

Question 6

What is the Gap Assessment?

Accepted Answer

A free twenty-question assessment, about five minutes, that returns three things on screen: where the business sits on the path from running on the owner, to AI doing real work, to a return anyone can point at; what is exposed across AI, process, people and business risk; and a conservative estimate of what the gap is costing annually. The deeper measurement — Business Maturity, AI Readiness and AI Governance — runs inside The Decision Shift.

Question 7

What is The Decision Shift?

Accepted Answer

A 90-day engagement that gets the decisions off the owner's desk. It covers the Assess stage and the start of Apply and Delete, and it opens the AI Value Accelerator — anything invested in it is credited in full against the longer engagement.

Question 8

How are AI Advisory Group, The Validated Mind, and Validated OS related?

Accepted Answer

The Validated Mind is the method (the VALID framework and the book). AI Advisory Group is the execution arm that runs the engagement. Validated OS is the platform that instruments and tracks decision quality.
