The Consulting Industry Has a $300 Billion Problem
The world's best strategic thinking is locked behind a paywall that 99% of businesses can't afford.
McKinsey, BCG, and Bain charge $500K to $50M per engagement. Their minimum project costs more than most companies' entire annual strategy budget. And even if you could afford it, you'd wait 8 to 12 weeks for the first deliverable.
On the other end, AI chatbots will search the internet and summarize what they find. That's not consulting. That's a book report.
Between "expensive and excellent" and "free and shallow," there's been nothing. Until now.
54 Expert Systems. One Platform. Your Strategic Advantage.
Rathvane isn't a chatbot. It isn't a search engine with a nicer interface. It's an expert systems execution platform.
We've encoded the reasoning and methodologies of 4,800+ cross-connected methodologies, strategies, and frameworks modeled after 700+ revered industry experts, including the frameworks of Michael Porter, Aswath Damodaran, Robert Cialdini, Geoffrey Moore, and hundreds more, into 22 specialized expert systems connected by 242 cross-system data flows.
When you bring us a business problem, the platform doesn't Google it. It executes structured expert methodology across multiple disciplines simultaneously. Strategy informs product. Product informs GTM. GTM shapes sales. Everything connected. Nothing lost in handoffs.
The result: coordinated strategic deliverables that reflect the accumulated knowledge of the world's leading strategists, at a price and speed that changes who gets access to world-class business intelligence.

Judge the Output, Not the Logo
We don't ask you to trust our brand. We ask you to evaluate our work. Request a sample deliverable and compare it to anything you've received from a traditional consulting firm.
"We asked Rathvane for a competitive landscape analysis. What we got back was more thorough than what our previous MBB firm delivered last year, at a fraction of the cost, and we had it in three days."
