The Consulting Decision Framework: Matching Architecture to Strategy

Consulting Decision Framework

For Firms

  • Pick your architecture and commit โ€” hybrids get outcompeted
  • Solve the talent pipeline problem before it kills you
  • Price for your model, not your history

For Clients

  • Match architecture to problem โ€” Obelisk for armies, Hourglass for strategy, Box for expertise
  • Expect transparency on AI use
  • Push for outcome-based pricing

For Consultants

  • Know which model your firm is betting on
  • Build skills your model rewards: orchestration / judgment / expertise
  • If junior at an Obelisk: your job may not exist in 3 years
