Better deliverables.
Client data under NDA protection.
A local AI assistant for strategy, management, and specialist consultants. Research, proposals, and client deliverables - with confidential client information never leaving your device.
The reality
Consultants work under NDAs. Client strategies, financial data, organisational information, and competitive intelligence are strictly confidential. Using cloud AI tools to process that information - even just to write a report draft - potentially violates those obligations. Most clients are now asking specifically about AI usage in engagement contracts.
The quality pressure is relentless too. Clients expect polished, well-structured deliverables, fast. The bottleneck is often the writing and synthesis, not the thinking. AI can compress that significantly - if you can trust where your data goes.
How Skales helps consultants
Research, proposals, and deliverables - faster and locally private.
Market research synthesis
Paste industry reports, competitor data, and market analysis documents. Skales synthesises the key findings, identifies trends, and structures the narrative for your slide deck or report.
Proposal writing that wins
Describe the client problem, your approach, and your team. Skales drafts a structured proposal: executive summary, situation analysis, proposed approach, deliverables, timeline, and commercial terms.
Client deliverable writing
Turn raw analysis, workshop outputs, and interview findings into polished reports and recommendations. Skales helps structure the narrative, write the executive summary, and draft the key recommendations.
Engagement management
Draft weekly status updates, meeting prep notes, and action logs. Keep clients informed and engagements on track without spending hours on correspondence that does not directly advance the work.
NDA-protected client data stays local
Client strategy, financials, and internal documents are processed on your machine. Nothing leaves your device. Fully compatible with strict NDA and information security requirements from enterprise clients.
Rapid frameworks and models
Ask Skales to apply a SWOT, Porter's Five Forces, or McKinsey 7-S to the information you provide. Get a structured first-pass analysis you can refine with your own judgement and client knowledge.
Example: Strategy engagement kick-off
You ask: "Here are the discovery call notes and the client's annual report. Run a Porter's Five Forces analysis for their industry position. I'll add the qualitative layer."
Skales: A structured five-forces framework populated with the data from the documents. Competitive intensity, supplier power, substitution threats - each with evidence from the materials.
You ask: "Write the executive summary for our market entry recommendation report. Three options: organic, acquisition, partnership. Recommend Option 2. Confident but evidence-based tone."
Skales: A two-page executive summary with context, options overview, clear recommendation, and supporting rationale.
You ask: "Draft the proposal for the follow-on Phase 2 engagement. Six-week timeline, 3-person team, deliverables: go-to-market strategy and implementation roadmap."
Skales: A complete proposal with scope, team, timeline, deliverables, and commercial terms ready for client review.
“My clients ask about AI in my engagements now. Local processing is the only answer I can give them.”
