Most consulting frameworks tell you what's broken. AIMES tells you what to do next, why, and what it will move. A proprietary 5-phase engagement arc, a 35-cell maturity matrix, and an AI-augmented scoring system that measures the delta — all in one stack.
AIMES is sequenced for momentum. Each phase produces a concrete artifact that the next phase builds on. Skip any phase and the work downstream gets more expensive, not less.
These are the seven dimensions we score every prospect across. Together they paint a complete picture of operational maturity — and pinpoint where the highest-leverage interventions live. Each one gets scored on the 5-level scale you'll see next.
Levels 1–3 are operational maturity — anyone competent can get a firm there. Levels 4 and 5 are the Intelligent Systems thesis. Every dimension's L4 and L5 descriptors reference AI and automation explicitly. That's the moat.
Most advisory engagements score you once — at the start, in a workshop, optimistically. ISA scores you three times. The delta between Baseline and Re-score is what becomes case-study proof.
Your composite AIMES score maps directly to one of four engagement tiers. Each tier has a defined scope, duration, cadence, and deliverable set — sized to what your operation actually needs. Tier names are public. Investment ranges are shared in the proposal.
Investment ranges shared in the personalized AIMES Illustration — sized to scope, not pulled from a menu.
Real deliverables. Not slide decks. Each one is a working tool you keep and reuse — and together they document the delta you paid for.
The 90-second AIMES diagnostic tells you where you land on the maturity matrix — and which engagement tier fits where you actually are.
