Get Started with consultingapp
From raw documents to polished deliverables in three steps:
Gather your sources, Analyze with AI and statistics, and Deliver professional outputs.
Quick Start (5 minutes)
Create a project
Give it a name and optional description. This is your workspace for an entire engagement.
Upload documents
Drag and drop PDFs, DOCX, spreadsheets, or paste URLs. The AI parses and indexes everything.
Ask a question
Use the Research Hub to ask questions across your corpus. AI answers with source citations.
Generate a report
Run a simulation or build a framework, then export as a professional PDF or slide deck.
Collect your sources
Research Hub
Your project's knowledge base. Upload any document — PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, audio, or URL — and the system parses, indexes, and makes it queryable.
- Drag-and-drop any file format
- AI Q&A across your entire corpus
- Knowledge graph of entities and relationships
- Source citations on every answer
Interview Analyzer
Upload interview transcripts or audio recordings. AI identifies themes, extracts coded passages, and generates cross-case synthesis reports.
- Audio transcription with speaker diarization
- Automated thematic coding
- Saturation analysis (know when to stop interviewing)
- Synthesis reports with representative quotes
Data Dashboard
Ask natural-language questions about economic and government data. The AI fetches from FRED, Census, BLS, and more, then renders interactive charts.
- Natural language to chart
- Statistical analysis (decomposition, change-points)
- Forecasting with prediction intervals
- Anomaly detection alerts
Policy Tracker
Monitor bills, regulations, and executive orders. AI tracks legislative activity and estimates passage probability.
- Set up keyword watches
- AI-powered policy analysis
- Alert notifications for changes
- Impact assessment for your project
Generate insights
Simulation Engine
Upload a document and the AI extracts entities into a typed graph. Run mathematical simulations — opinion dynamics, market competition, policy cascades.
- 35+ mathematical templates
- Scenario comparison
- Sensitivity analysis (Sobol indices)
- Real-time visualization
Framework Builder
Create consulting-standard frameworks — SWOT, PESTEL, Porter's Five Forces, Stakeholder Grid, Theory of Change, and more.
- 8 framework templates
- AI auto-populate from your research
- Interactive canvas editing
- Evidence linking to sources
Financial Models
Cost-benefit analysis, ROI, DCF, and economic impact models with Monte Carlo uncertainty quantification.
- 5 model templates
- Monte Carlo distributions
- Sobol sensitivity analysis
- Break-even probability
Produce deliverables
AI Reports
Generate full analysis reports, policy briefs, or executive summaries. AI synthesizes simulation results, research findings, and framework insights.
- Full analysis, policy brief, or executive summary
- Source citations throughout
- Charts and metrics embedded
- Download as PDF
Slide Deck Generator
Create audience-aware slide decks from any module's output. Choose your audience and the AI structures content accordingly.
- 5 audience presets
- Export as PPTX, PDF, or HTML
- Content from any module
- Professional layouts
Export Center
Download simulation data, annotations, charts, and raw data in multiple formats for further analysis or integration.
- PDF, PPTX, HTML, CSV, JSON
- Annotations and observations
- Chart images
- Machine-readable data
Frequently Asked Questions
What file types can I upload?
PDF, DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, TXT, Markdown, HTML, images, and audio files (MP3, WAV, M4A). You can also paste URLs to fetch web pages.
Is my data secure?
Yes. All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Documents are processed by Claude's zero-retention API — your content is not stored or used for AI training. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Do I need technical skills to use the platform?
No. The interface is designed for non-technical consultants and analysts. Upload a document, ask a question in plain English, and the AI handles the rest. Power users can access the API for programmatic access.
Can I collaborate with my team?
Yes, on Team and Enterprise plans. Invite team members with role-based access (Admin, Analyst, Viewer). All team members share the project workspace.
What happens when I reach my tier limits?
You'll see a notification and can upgrade your plan instantly. Existing data is never deleted — you just can't create new items until you upgrade or a new billing cycle starts.
Can I export my data if I leave?
Absolutely. You can export all project data (documents, reports, simulations, frameworks, financial models) in standard formats at any time. Your data belongs to you.
