Discovery

Qualify around workflow friction

The strongest opportunities usually have client growth, manual reporting burden, inconsistent follow-up, or partner-level visibility gaps.

  1. 1How many active advisory clients does your team support today?
  2. 2Where does meeting prep, KPI review, and follow-up currently break down?
  3. 3Which reports are manually recreated every month or quarter?
  4. 4What client signals do you wish you could spot earlier?
  5. 5Who needs visibility: advisors, analysts, partners, clients, or executives?
Demo flow

Show the platform in five moves

01

Firm dashboard

Start with portfolio-wide visibility and client health.

02

Client workspace

Open one client and show KPIs, documents, tasks, and meetings.

03

AI meeting loop

Move from prep to summary to action items.

04

Forecast scenario

Show how assumptions become decisions.

05

Reporting

Close with exports, board reports, and client-ready recaps.

Objection handling

Keep the conversation practical

Close on value, not seats.

The economic case is fewer manual prep hours, faster reporting cycles, better client visibility, and more consistent advisory delivery.

We already use spreadsheets and dashboards.

Position ADK Intel as the operating layer around those tools: client context, recurring workflows, AI summaries, meeting prep, and cross-client visibility in one workspace.

We are worried about sensitive data.

Lead with upload-first workflows, no-PII defaults, permissions, audit history, and the ability to keep advisory work structured without oversharing client details.

The team is too busy to implement another platform.

Sell the first workflow, not the whole universe: one client, one dashboard, one meeting loop, then expand once the rhythm is proven.
