For consultants & advisory firms · Authority is now machine-read

You sell expertise. Do the AI engines cite it?

Ask ChatGPT "who are the leading experts in your category" and a handful of names come back. Those names come from structured content, bylines, and details the engines can read. We make your firm one of those names. Then we help you deliver on the demand with AI-augmented operations.

Aday Interactive, Inc. is a Coral Gables AI systems firm. We help consulting and advisory firms get cited by AI engines as category leaders and run an AI-augmented practice, from research and proposals to productized IP.

No credit card, and no obligation.

The new first impression

Executives ask AI before they call.

ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google’s AI answers now hand executives a short list of names, and they cite the sources they trust. We build so your firm is one they can find, trust, and cite by name.

Why this matters right now

Buyers now ask AI who leads a niche before they look at your proposal. Three shifts are reassigning that authority: AI deciding who owns a category, thought leadership AI cannot use, and delivery that stops at the founder's calendar.

  1. 01Category authority is being reassigned by AI
  2. 02Your thought leadership is not structured for AI to use
  3. 03Delivery does not scale past the founder's calendar
Reassigned

Category authority is being reassigned by AI

Buyers shortlist through AI engines before any RFP or referral call. A firm the engines cannot read does not surface, no matter how strong its client list. The founder's reputation is not readable by AI yet.

Unstructured

Your thought leadership is not structured for AI to use

Years of decks, talks, and posts that engines cannot turn into citable positions. Competitors with half your insight and twice your structure are getting your citations.

The founder

Delivery does not scale past the founder's calendar

Proposals, research synthesis, and follow-up all wait on partners. That is exactly the work AI-augmented operations absorb first.

Run the check. Ask ChatGPT who the top firms are in your specialty. If names with thinner track records come back ahead of yours, those are your citations going to someone else.

How to read this estimate. It multiplies the numbers you enter, nothing more. It does not count costs, refunds or unpaid bills, seasonal swings, or how much new work your team can take on. The starting values are rough examples, not industry data or results from any firm. This is not legal, financial, or tax advice, and Aday Interactive, Inc. does not promise any result.

We run our own practice this way

Precise beats broad

Boutiques win AI citations in specific categories. We position your firm to own a niche the big names treat as an afterthought.

Questions firm owners ask

7 answers
How do AI engines decide which consultants to cite?
They read structured details, published bylines, and clear positions, then name the firms whose expertise they can parse and trust. A strong client list that lives only in the founder's head does not help the engine. We turn your positions into content the engine can cite. We do not guarantee a specific citation, because engines decide independently. We build for it and measure it honestly.
We are a boutique. Can we outrank the big firms in AI answers?
Yes, in niche categories. Broad firms spread thin across many topics, so a boutique with precise, well-structured positions on one category often wins the citation there. Precise beats broad in AI answers more reliably than in traditional search.
What is a Fractional CAIO, and why would a consulting firm need one?
A Fractional Chief AI Officer is retained, part-time senior AI leadership. For an advisory firm the job is practice transformation: building AI-assisted research and proposal pipelines, productizing your IP into tools you can sell, and setting a client-safe AI policy. It is the fastest way to get delivery leverage without a full-time hire.
Will AI-assisted delivery dilute our quality?
No, when it is augmentation with a partner-review gate. AI drafts research synthesis and first-pass proposals; your partners edit and approve before anything reaches a client. The hours saved are the non-billable ones, so quality holds and margins improve.
What does the Authority Citation Scan check?
It runs a category citation probe (does an engine name your firm when asked who leads your niche) and a consistency check of your public details. It uses public data only and is free. From there, the AI Executive Readiness Assessment™ scores where an AI-augmented practice would help most.
What does an engagement cost?
The assessment is free. From there the Custom AI ladder runs a low-cost first step, then done-for-you engagements, then a Fractional CAIO retainer scoped to your firm. Each step is priced on its own, except that Custom AI Build Scoping credits toward the Proof of Concept when you start within 60 days. Every price is on our pricing page before you commit.
Can you help us build our own AI-powered client tools?
Yes. Through Custom Web & SaaS we turn your frameworks into diagnostics, client portals, and productized assessments. The methodology you already sell becomes software you can license or use to open conversations.

Response time

Response time is a target, not a promise. Our AI intake agents aim to answer in under 60 seconds, and typically respond within one to three minutes. Actual timing depends on third-party voice, SMS, and network delivery, which we do not control. We measure the real number and report it in your dashboard rather than guarantee it. Speed also depends on correct account setup, carrier registration (A2P 10DLC), and your intake configuration.
