Why Rathvane Exists
The management consulting industry generates over $300 billion a year. The three most prestigious firms — McKinsey, BCG, and Bain — take in roughly $37 billion combined. They employ more than 95,000 people across hundreds of offices.
And they serve almost exclusively the Fortune 500 and large private equity funds.
Every other business — the millions of companies between $500K and $500M that employ the majority of the workforce and drive the majority of economic growth — has been locked out of expert strategic thinking. Not because they don't need it. Because they can't afford it at $500K to $5M per engagement.
Rathvane was built to change that equation.
We asked a simple question: what if you could encode the analytical methodology that McKinsey, BCG, and Bain use — the same expert frameworks, the same structured approaches, the same cross-disciplinary rigor — and make it accessible to every company that needs it?
Not by building a chatbot. Not by creating another search engine with a summary layer. But by constructing genuine expert systems that execute the way a team of senior consultants would — only faster, more consistently, and at a fraction of the cost.
That's what Rathvane is. 22 specialized expert systems. 4,800+ cross-connected methodologies, strategies, and frameworks modeled after 700+ revered industry experts. 242 cross-system data flows that ensure strategy connects to execution naturally. Governed by 306 quality guardrails that maintain the standard every time.
Expert-quality business intelligence. For every company that needs it.
What We Believe
Strategic thinking shouldn't require a Fortune 500 budget
The analytical frameworks that drive great business decisions are too valuable to be locked behind $500K minimums.
Speed is strategic
Markets move faster than 12-week consulting timelines. The ability to get expert analysis in days, not months, is a competitive advantage in itself.
Transparency beats mystique
MBB firms operate as black boxes. We document our methodology, cite our sources, and expose our governance. You can see exactly how we arrived at every conclusion.
Systems beat individuals
The best consultant has good days and bad days. Expert systems encoded with the world's leading methodologies deliver consistent quality every time.
Knowledge should compound
When a consulting team rolls off your project, their expertise leaves with them. Our knowledge base grows with every engagement, permanently.
Built for Cross-Discipline Intelligence
Every expert system operates independently, but they're wired together through 242 data flows so insights compound across disciplines.
This architecture is what separates Rathvane from every other approach. When a client brings a go-to-market challenge, the platform doesn't just run a GTM playbook. It pulls in Competitive Research for market positioning, Corporate Strategy for strategic alignment, Financial Modeling for unit economics, Product Strategy for feature prioritization, B2B and B2C Sales for channel design, Digital Marketing for demand generation, PR for market narrative, Risk Management for scenario planning, and Executive Briefing for stakeholder communication.
All of these systems share context through 242 data flows. Strategy informs product. Product informs GTM. GTM shapes sales. Nothing is lost in handoffs. Nothing operates in a silo. See how the platform executes.
